Hi, I'm Lorraine

If you are looking for a professional counsellor; person centred trained who occasionally integrates other approaches as and when needed, then I might be the right person for you.

Why not book a session with me and afterwards ask how it felt talking with me and if I am someone you feel able to connect with.

Individual counselling

I can work with many specific issues such as Grief, Loss and Bereavement. Able to sit alongside you and hear your story, help to make sense of strong emerging emotions and offer you that safe space.

This often can make a big difference once you start to feel less alone with the situation.

I can help with anxiety, and understand the impact of this. After completing a CBT certificate able to link how our thoughts, link to our behaviours and actions. If you feel stuck and want to unpick this together am able to offer this service.

If you are want to explore Neuro diversity and how this impacts on you and the world around you, we can do this together. I am a firm believer of Allyship.

If you feel emotionally triggered, want to deepen self-awareness, or establish boundaries maybe for the first time then we can do this together.

Other issues around thoughts, overwhelming feelings, hopelessness, loneliness, low confidence, perhaps perfectionism, avoidance or any areas that is stopping you from being the best version of yourself. 

I am ÌÇÐĹÙÍø registered and NCPS Accredited.

I bring my whole self to counselling with my experience of NHS Audiology and sound therapy allowing me to see you as a whole person not just a symptom or presenting issue.

Who do I work with? I work with people in all stages of counselling, from those who have never tried counselling before to those newly training or searching for a different type of therapy or counsellor. The most important thing is for it to feel right, to help you make the most of your counselling journey.

About me

Hello I'm Lorrie, a counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor and audiologist.

I hold Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling alongside Level 5 in Psychotherapeutic counselling and Level 7 (NCIP) advanced diploma in Counselling supervision. An accredited counsellor through the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø & NCPS.

I work with an open heart and mind, to meet the needs of each individual.

How counselling can help?

Counselling provides a safe container and personal space to bring challenges, struggles, beliefs, desires for change. Through this process you will gain greater understanding of yourself, your relationships, your life and behaviour patterns. Together we can build on this, by learning tools and skills that will help you deal better when these challenges or difficulties arise and assist you to move forward. This counselling process gently unfolds, as you develop into your best self and start to hear your voice through the current situation, difficulty, pain or loss. I listen intently and you will be deeply heard and have me alongside you during your journey, your development and change.

How to get in touch

Please text me 07928 344770 or email me with any questions or queries. My website is up and running but in the process of being updated: candlemousecounselling.co.uk

A bit about me:

I've been an Audiologist for over two decades finding people just naturally talk and open up' with me as I am a natural empath. This led me to being curious around how I can support people and better listen etc. My life journey unfolded outside of my clinical role and counselling training started slowly in 2016 before becoming fully registered in 2019 and  then 2025 fully accredited with the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø. This means I have demonstrated commitment to shared high standards which safe-guard clients and ensures they have access to a competent and ethical practitioner.

Training, and counselling process

Trained in the Person-centred approach Occasionally I integrate different tools and skills if it feels appropriate to gain deeper perspective and clarity. This is done with great thought, with an open mind and heart linking to my counselling ethos.

Other professionals and Consultative supervision:

My supervision qualification means I can supervise counsellors and offer Consultative supervision for any profession who is involved in looking after or caring for others e.g vets, doctors, teachers, nurses etc. This would work as a container to stop work stresses bleeding into the rest of our lives. I liken it to a pressure valve, or just a honest time to take freely, to reflect and process. In todays hectic world, having a 'neutral person' will help prevent burnout and help to improve work/life balance

 What to expect in your first counselling session:

First sessions can feel odd as it is unique to you. My aim is to always put you at ease whilst we discuss the practicalities of how we might work together. Normally we discuss what brought you to counselling, whether this is an area I can work within, how many sessions might be needed, when and how counselling is brought to a close. I will discuss confidentiality and record-keeping and encourage you if there is a need for something to be done differently to meet your needs. My aim is to make sure, everything is clear and nothing is confused and you are clear on how counselling works and how I work.

 Online or telephone counselling only. 

All you need is a comfortable, confidential space with good WIFI signal and a working camera with microphone.

About me and my practice;

I am a person-centred accredited counsellor (ÌÇÐĹÙÍø) and clinical supervisor (NCIP), qualified to Column B SCoPED. This means I have undergone rigorous training and adhere to established standards, ensuring I provide effective and ethical counselling to my clients. 

Be assured you will be met with a warmth and honesty from the start.  I deeply listen and understand without any judgement. Counselling needs this for a trusting relationship to develop.

I will provide this through my person-centred training and specialist work around Bereavement. Plus since my initial training have expanded my repertoire in other modalities meaning I work in a more integrative way. This means lots of experience and skills/tools brought into counselling from other areas whilst always grounded in Empathy, UPR & Congruence.

Working with Adults aged 18 +, any gender, cultural background or sexual orientation.

Why am I so passionate about my counselling work?

I believe in personal growth & the ability to heal.

 About me and my practice

Hello I'm Lorrie (Lorraine), a counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor and audiologist.

My professional qualifications support the above, e.g. Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling alongside  Level 5 in Psychotherapeutic counselling and Level 7 (NCIP) advanced diploma in Counselling supervision. 

SCoPED Column B Accredited ÌÇÐĹÙÍø & PNCPS.

Supervision encompasses the person centred approach and its core conditions of Empathy, UPR and Congruence whilst bringing together PCA models and some Integrative models to form a Hybrid approach depending on individuals needs.

I am always happy to hear from supervisees attracted to working with me alongside mature trainees from other professions who are starting to train or those qualified in other professions who are moving into private practice.

July 2026:  Currently have space to welcome two new supervisees to my practice. 

How to contact me: 

Please text me on 07928 344770 or email me on Lorrainegolding45@gmail.com 

We can then discuss if I am a good fit for your supervision needs.

My supervision ethos

I hold the belief that not one single supervision method is effective for all situations and thus we need more freedom and flexibility when it comes to working as a counsellor..

I am person-centred trained and grounded myself with this but always challenged myself to become the best supervisor I can be by studying different approaches 'humanistic' and studying Level 7 Integrative supervision models. 

This provides some flexibility when it comes to supervision as I  form a hybrid approach almost 'helicopter view' of the counselling process.

Our work would be to form a strong therapeutic relationship together, a deliberate joint endeavour with the aim of  improving the quality of work, transform client relationships, and 'Be in the moment'. 

Our first meeting is always free to you 30 mins in total.

This will be a discussion around the work required, how we might work together based on our approaches, experience, clients types, specialisms and practice. We both needs to feel this is right otherwise I might not be the right supervisor for you.

My fees reflect my ruralness in Truro with lower wages whilst taking into account the cost of living for all counsellors.

I have a 'Pay forward' agreement so if you wish to pay higher fee based where you live and want to support a new counsellor needing supervision then 5% can be added which will be offered towards their fees. That would be acceptable to me.

Supervision days are Tuesday or Friday with the occasional Saturday to flex for holidays or sickness etc.

Please call or email me if you wish to speak together and book your free 30 mins session.
