Lorelle Busby

Lorelle Busby is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She aims to make the first step easier and meets people where they are. Lorelle encourages clients to use their own strengths to manage hard situations and build confidence.

She works in straightforward, practical ways. Sessions often focus on identifying thoughts and behaviours that get in the way, and trying small changes to see what helps. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide conversations and exercises.

Lorelle has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a BACP member. Her work includes a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, eating and food-related issues, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment questions, adoption and foster care matters, and body image struggles.

In sessions she aims to be practical and calm. People can expect a mix of talking, gentle reflection, and simple tasks to try between meetings. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life.

If you are unsure where to start, Lorelle helps clients clarify priorities and choose manageable goals. She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready.

How these approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small actions in line with those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by focusing on what matters most rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Sessions often include practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and to change routines that maintain distress, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns. It is useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, attachment difficulties, and the emotional effects of adoption or early separation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day demands. That decision is made together and can be adjusted over time as needs change.

If you plan to try online sessions, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to continue therapy if they move within the country, while the practical structure and agreed goals remain the same.
