About me

Lori White Therapy UK

Hello, I’m Lori.

My extensive, real-world life experience has proven invaluable when working with clients. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a journalist, an editor and a teacher and I also spent five years supporting adults with mental health issues and physical disabilities. For over two years, I provided counselling within the NHS IAPT service, helping people navigate anxiety, depression and life’s many challenges.

Since 2017, I’ve been offering private therapy in Wimbledon, supporting clients across South West London who are looking for a safe, supportive and practical space to work through life’s difficulties.

Convenient Location for Counselling in Wimbledon

My therapy sessions take place in my comfortable home, right in the heart of Wimbledon town. The location is easily accessible: Wimbledon train, tram, and District underground stations are just five minutes away, and South Wimbledon (Northern Line) is only a seven-minute walk. With plenty of bus routes nearby, it’s simple to reach me if you’re looking for counselling in Wimbledon SW19 or across South West London.

Areas I Can Help With

I have experience in helping clients with a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Anxiety – managing panic attacks, general or specific worries and unhelpful overthinking
  • Stress counselling – finding relief from work pressure and daily overwhelm. Family stress, relationship stress.
  • Depression – exploring low mood and hopelessness. Not knowing how to get out of the pit of despair.
  • Workplace issues – conflict with colleagues and managers, burnout, or career transitions
  • Life transitions and significant birthdays – becoming an adult, becoming a parent, navigating a mid-life crisis, coming to terms with ageing, or preparing for end-of-life stages
  • Abuse – physical, sexual, emotional, or financial
  • Self-esteem and confidence building
  • Relationships – improving family or partner relationships, or coping with relationship breakdowns
  • Bereavement counselling – anticipating a death, needing support with the loss and grief
  • Identity and self-awareness – Who am I now? Where am I going? Existential anxiety.
  • LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy in South West London – providing inclusive, respectful support

Whether you are looking for therapy in Wimbledon, depression counselling SW19, or simply a safe, supportive place to talk, I offer a tailored approach to meet your needs.

My Therapeutic Approach

I offer solution-based counselling in Wimbledon. Our work together focuses on understanding what’s has happened in your life,the messages you have taken in about yourself through the years; what is happening now, then exploring what needs to change so you can move forward in a healthier, more fulfilling way.

In our sessions, you set the pace and choose the direction. I won’t offer direct advice, but I will ask open questions and encourage new perspectives. Together, we can explore your issues to uncover insights and discover new ways forward.

Above all, you and your care are my priority.
