Person-Centred Tuition, Coaching, Mentoring and Counselling
I’m Lorna - teacher, author, mentor, counsellor and workshop facilitator. I’ve spent twenty years teaching in France, England and Spain, and the past 8 years, learning about mental health, studying what wellbeing should look like in our lives, families, classrooms and communities.
In 2019, I published my book, a true life account of my struggle with infertility. Inspired by my own research, experiences, and the stories of other remarkable women, the book incorporates self-care, wellbeing, understanding mental health and importance of connection.
I continue to research, study and write, whilst supporting others with self-esteem, and personal and professional growth.
My passion for connecting through education, empowerment, care and support, helping others become the best version of themselves is at the heart of all I do.
I’m committed to the idea that whether it’s educational or personal growth, when we feel valued, cared for, and truly supported, we can move towards fulfilling our potential, living more self-aware, more authentic, empowered lives.
When we feel seen, heard, valued, and supported, our self-esteem grows. Self-doubt transforms into self-confidence, and our journey to fulfilling our true potential gains momentum. We start living more authentic, purposeful, happier lives.
When we're nurtured, we thrive.
At school I was in a big, mixed ability class and although I really enjoyed French I was finding it really hard to learn anything. My predicted grade was below a C at GCSE and it was very frustrating so my mum suggested I get some extra help. Lorna was amazing. She really got to know my learning style and tailored the lessons accordingly.
My listening was what I found hardest and so Lorna helped my technique for pulling out key words. Conversationally I felt really confident just chatting in my oral exam because I was so used to chatting with Lorna in French.
The lessons were really varied so I didn't get bored. I have always been really easily distracted, but I didn't find this a problem because it was varied and quick paced.
Overall my French improved massively which my teacher noticed. I was over the moon when I got a B for GCSE and could never have achieved it without the extra help.
