Working with Lorraine — in person or online

Lorraine offers coaching and holistic therapy in two ways: in person from her practice in Colchester, Essex, or online by video call to clients throughout the UK. Both formats offer the same level of care and attention — the right choice usually comes down to what's most practical and comfortable for you.

Services offered

Lorraine works with clients in three main ways — as 1:1 coaching, through a range of therapeutic modalities, and through workshops and training for groups. Most services are available both in person in Colchester and online across the UK.

In every case, Lorraine combines approaches and modalities, tailoring the mix to each person to get the best possible results.

In person & online

1:1 Coaching — personal & corporate

Ongoing, focused support to help you get clear on what you want and build the habits to get there — for individuals in their personal lives, and for professionals, leaders and teams in a corporate setting.

Colchester, Essex

In person, in Colchester

For clients who prefer to meet face to face, Lorraine sees people in person from her practice in Colchester, Essex. It’s a quiet, private space where you can talk openly, without needing to rush.

UK-wide by video call

Online, wherever you are in the UK

Many clients work with Lorraine entirely online, by video call. It works just as well as meeting in person for most people, and it means you can fit sessions around your life without needing to travel.

This option tends to suit people who:

  • Live outside Colchester or Essex, anywhere in the UK
  • Have a busy schedule and want to avoid travel time
  • Simply prefer the convenience of joining from home

All you need is a private space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone.

Online coaching and therapy available in the UK or around the world.
Sessions

What happens in a session

Whether you meet in person or online, sessions follow the same approach: a calm, focused conversation centred on where you are now, what you’d like to change, and the practical steps that will get you there. You can read more about Lorraine’s coaching approach or explore the specific therapies and modalities she draws on, including NLP, Hypnotherapy, Homeopathy and Kinesiology.

If you’re planning something for a group or organisation rather than a 1:1 session, enquire about Workshops & Training instead.

Choosing a format

Not sure whether to choose in person or online?

There’s no wrong choice. Both formats give you the same depth of conversation and the same practical focus on moving forward. If you’re unsure, it’s completely fine to get in touch first and talk it through — Lorraine can help you decide what’s likely to suit you best.
