Hello, I’m Lorna. I am a Counselling Psychologist dedicated to helping you find solutions for anxiety, low mood, and trauma. I believe therapy should be a gentle, non-judgmental partnership where you feel truly heard and supported in a safe, comfortable space.
I use an integrative approach, drawing on therapies like CBT, ACT, CFT, and EMDR. By treating you as an individual, we can decide together which combination of support will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
"The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance...provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another." - Carl Rogers

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions?
I am here to help. Please get in touch for a free consultation.
What is EMDR therapy and how can it help me?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a specialist, evidence-based therapy designed to help you process trauma, PTSD, Depression, OCD, anxiety, and phobias. As a qualified EMDR therapist in Manchester, I use this intervention to help you safely reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional charge and helping you find lasting relief.
Where is your Manchester therapy clinic located?
My primary practice is located at the Manchester Royal Exchange in St Ann’s Square (M2). This central location is easily accessible for those seeking a Psychologist in Manchester or surrounding areas. I also offer remote sessions for those who prefer online therapy from the comfort of their own home.
What is the difference between a Psychologist and a Counsellor?
As a Psychologist (PsychD) with over 25 years of experience, I have undergone extensive doctoral-level training in clinical and psychological theory. While counselling is a vital part of what I do, my background allows me to offer specialized diagnostic understanding and a wider range of evidence-based interventions like CBT, ACT, and EMDR.
How much does a therapy session cost?
Individual therapy sessions are priced at £120, and couple sessions are £200. I am an HCPC registered professional. Please feel free to enquire about using payment methods like bank transfer or cash.
Do you offer online or remote EMDR therapy?
Yes. I provide both face-to-face appointments in Manchester and remote therapy via secure video platforms. Online EMDR is highly effective and allows you to access specialist psychological support regardless of your location, providing flexibility for those with busy schedules or travel constraints.
How do I book a free consultation with Dr. Lorna Robinson?
Taking the first step is easy. You can send me an email to arrange a free phone consultation. This is a gentle, non-judgmental opportunity for us to discuss your difficulties, explore potential solutions, and see how we can work together towards your recovery.
