You are not alone.
Whatever you are dealing with, there is BACP counselling support with Lorna Freeman, a Therapeutic Counsellor in Bromley, available to help give you the strength to make it through.
LORNA FREEMAN THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLOR
Hi, I’m Lorna. I am BACP registered and offer adult therapeutic counselling services both in person and online or the phone. Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and difficult, leaving us wondering how to untangle and make sense of what is going on. Are you struggling with feeling burnt-out and stressed or having difficulties within personal or family relationships?
I understand how difficult it is to ask for help or even to acknowledge that you might need it, especially if you are the ‘strong’ person who is always there for others. The hardest step to take is the first one, making the decision to reach out for the help and support that we all need at times.
I provide a warm, confidential and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and gain a deeper level of awareness into yourself and others.
The areas that I specialise in can be found below. If you think that you would like my support then please do contact me.
“Lorna put me completely at ease and created a safe space for me to explore what was going on. It was the perfect combination of allowing space for thought, providing models to understand and challenging my thoughts and beliefs that has allowed me to move forward in a positive way.”

There are no particular causes for eating disorders; they can and do happen to all genders, ages and cultural backgrounds. It is however more common for these problems to be seen in teenagers.
Some common symptoms to watch out for are becoming obsessive around portion sizes, calorie counting, together with ways of burning calories or ‘getting rid’ of food such as excessive exercise, laxative abuse and purging (vomiting)
Experiences of eating disorders are unique to the person and it is important to gain an understanding of the whole person, their needs and to help them feel deserving of recovery.
Whether you're having problems in your relationship or you'd just like to understand your partner better, talking things through with a counsellor can make a real difference.
A therapist won’t tell you what to do, but will help you and your partner see each other's perspective, listen and speak in ways that are productive over destructive, and make decisions you agree on that move you forward.
Relationship Counselling is for everyone. Whether you're married, single, living together or apart, straight or gay I can help you strengthen your relationships.
Do you lack belief in your personal value/worth? Are you very critical of yourself? Do you have a low opinion of yourself? Do you compare yourself negatively with others? Do you expect others to dislike and criticise you? Do you hear criticism from others when this is not the message that is being conveyed? Do you set very high standards for yourself to try and improve how you feel about yourself?
If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions you may benefit from my counselling services to help you overcome your low self esteem issues.
Grief is a natural and necessary process following the death or loss of a loved one, it draws our focus inwards and allows us to reconfigure our lives in the absence of the person that is longer in our lives and move forward without them, whilst still holding them in our mind. If we struggle to process difficult emotions and don't seek support, grief can potentially cause long-term psychological issues.
My bereavement counselling service allows me to support you through your grief either in person or online.
