Lorelle Busby, BACP

Lorelle Busby is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits to help clients manage confidence, motivation and self-esteem. Lorelle writes plainly and offers a steady, respectful approach for those taking an initial step into therapy.

Lorelle believes clients are the experts in their own lives. Sessions aim to build on personal strengths and practical routines rather than relying on jargon. Conversations are collaborative and paced to fit what each person finds manageable.

Her work draws on several complementary approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred principles. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try new ways of responding, and make choices that match their values.

With five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Lorelle combines practical tools with emotional support. She helps people talk through grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, and issues around anger or compassion fatigue.

Clients often come with complex histories such as adoption or attachment questions, neurodiversity concerns, or ongoing caregiver stress. Lorelle works step by step to stabilise immediate worries, then focuses on small habit changes that add up to meaningful differences over time.

How therapy approaches translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters to you. It helps when worry, avoidance or unhelpful thinking patterns stop you living the life you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces practical techniques to test and change those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that suit you. Decisions about methods and pacing are made together so the plan fits your needs rather than a fixed template.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit conversations into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let you try exercises and homework between meetings, helping new habits take hold in everyday life.
