These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lorraine Quinlan. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Lorraine has been amazing this past year. She's kind, patient, intuitive and really client led. We built a relationship really quickly and her very human approach is exactly what I needed and continue with as a result. As someone who wasn't sure about counselling, this has been such a positive experience for me!

Lorraine and I clicked very quickly and her conversation and tone was comforting and understanding.
She's a great communicator and very flexible.
I would highly recommend her as a better help therapist and as a person.
Very professional but approachable.

Lorraine has been my guide through my first experience of therapy. I didnt know what to expect, but I feel very lucky to have had her professional and caring presence through some difficult times. The way she translates a solid theoretical understanding into a personal approach has worked wonders for me. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, caring therapist who you can trust to listen to you and offer judgement-free advice.

Lorraine is a genuinely kind and caring person, who is easy to talk to. She doesn't judge you, no matter what you say, which creates a safe place to open up about feelings that you can't share anywhere else. I had a short course of counselling with Lorraine to help me to unlock a stuck feeling that I had been experiencing for many years. It was associated with lots of shame and guilt. I would highly recommend Lorraine and I will go back to her if new issues come up for me.

Lorraine has been a huge help for me navigating a really challenging time in my life. I always feel better after our sessions, like a weight has been lifted. She validates my feelings and experience and makes me see things in a different light. I feel heard and seen in our sessions. Therapy with her has been enlightening through this dark time.

I have found Lorraine to be helpful, attentive, a great listener and also insightful. My brief time with her has helped me get through some immediate problems and look at some long term solutions.
