Ms loraine rawson

Counselor

“A BACP accredited couples and individual therapist of 25 years experience, experience includes Relate, GP practices, EAPs and education.”

About Me

With 25 years of experience, I help individuals and couples navigate life's complexities. My background spans Relate, GP practices, EAPs, and education, offering a deep understanding of diverse challenges. I adapt sessions to your unique needs, creating a grounded and supportive space. Clients value my extensive experience across various settings, finding a therapist who genuinely understands their world.

Approach

That breadth of practice shapes a practical, curious way of working: I listen for patterns and small shifts, then shape sessions around what feels most urgent. In Hitchin or online, sessions are paced to suit you — steady, reflective, with clear next steps and occasional short tasks between meetings. I blend reflective enquiry with practical coping strategies to help couples and individuals notice repeating dynamics, reduce overwhelm and build safer ways of relating. People facing relationship strain, burnout or low mood tend to find this collaborative rhythm helpful.
