Lorelei Green MSc, BACP Accredited
Counsellor & Psychotherapist
About me
I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). I originally trained as a person-centred counsellor which means I focus on creating an environment where you feel safe enough to explore whatever you need to talk about. I have also completed a foundation year with the Manchester Gestalt Centre, so I bring elements of this into my approach too. The core of gestalt therapy is to increase awareness of self and of your experienced. By integrating gestalt therapy into my practice, I can help clients explore their experiences in a more holistic way, which can lead to deeper self-awareness and personal growth.
I also have a Master of Science in Psychological Trauma so I often use trauma-processing interventions and techniques from polyvagal theory. We can also use creative therapies like art if that's something that is helpful for you.
You can find more information on trauma and trauma therapy here.
I have a particular interest in birth trauma (mums, dads and anyone who has been affected). Babes in arms are welcome, especially if leaving them at home is going to cause you distress or childcare is difficult to access. If you are needing to attend to the baby in the session it can limit the therapy so if you're able to predict nap times, that would be best. And of course breastfeeding is welcomed.
Where I am based
For in-person therapy I am based at the Roy Fletcher Centre in Shrewsbury, which is in the town centre and a few mins walk from the nearest bus stop, and about 10mins walk from the train station. There is disabled access but please let me know if you are a wheelchair user as the room is small and I will need to move one of the chairs out of the way.
There is no parking at the centre but there are several carparks and some street parking within a few minutes walk. I can email you a map of the options if you need it.
I also offer online, telephone and email therapy.
