A little about the founder ……

“Bee-coming, HOPE” was established by me, Loraine Pearson. I am a member of BACP meaning you are assured of I am working with an ethical code of practice as a qualified counsellor. My work is underpinned by two approaches in counselling, psychodynamic and person centred. I am a qualified Mental Health First Aider and Meditation Practitioner.
I began my journey into counselling after facing some challenges after the bereavement of my Dad and the living loss of a long-term relationship. I become stuck in my grief for both relationships.  

After seeking counselling, myself I saw first-hand what a difference working with a qualified counsellor could make. I was inspired, this fired a passion for mental well-being within and I knew I wanted to help others. I worked in my job supporting the well-being of my work colleagues and friends when I first qualified as a mental health first aider, but soon realised that my path was much wider and so I began my transition in to counselling.

When I am counselling, I have a feeling of being at home, feeling like its meant to be. I am currently studying another counselling qualification in “Integrative Counselling” which will allow me to continue my learning journey and personal growth. This enables me to offer a wider range of counselling interventions.” I have a passion for well-being and it is at the heart of everything I do.
I currently work at a local NHS cancer support unit and I volunteer my counselling services to patients with cancer, cancer survivors and their families.
