About Lorena

Lorena Borbinceane is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma, addiction, anger, low self-esteem and life changes.

Her approach blends person-centred work with structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and to try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building everyday coping skills.

Lorena has worked in a variety of organisations and with diverse age groups and issues. That experience informs a flexible way of working without relying on a single method. She will draw on attachment-focused ideas when past relationships affect current feelings and behaviour.

People meet in straightforward sessions where the main aims are noticing patterns, reducing distress and making manageable changes. Lorena uses client-centred listening to map out personal goals and then uses targeted techniques to address them. She also offers EMDR and hypnotherapy as part of an integrative toolkit when appropriate.

Sessions are conducted in English and Romanian. She works with concerns such as adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, body image and forgiveness alongside more common issues like career stress and compassion fatigue. The focus is on practical progress rather than labels.

How Lorena uses structured approaches in online sessions

CBT helps people notice thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. In practical terms this means identifying a worry, testing its accuracy, and trying alternative responses in everyday situations. It is often used for stress, depression and anxiety related problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach can help when patterns from past caregiving affect intimacy, trust or emotional regulation in present relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and personal goals. The counsellor supports the person to name what matters most and to set small, achievable steps towards those aims.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Lorena discusses options and chooses methods together with each person based on their needs and preferences. That collaborative decision may combine structured exercises, reflective conversation or specific techniques such as EMDR or hypnotherapy when relevant.

Confirm the session formats before booking as current options are not specified here. Online sessions can help fit counselling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also make it easier to continue work when life events interrupt normal routines. Registered and accredited professionals including counsellors often offer remote sessions to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
