Welcome to How to be Human Therapy Practice

We are so glad you found us, and we can’t wait to support you on your journey.

We are a group of qualified psychotherapists and counsellors who work online with a variety of people and issues.

We have all been handpicked by very experienced psychotherapist, Lorraine Cookson, who wanted a way to help more people.

By working with us you can be sure that we are all qualified, insured, and working within our abilities and knowledge. You trust Lorraine to place you with the right therapist for you without endless frustrating searches. If any issues arise you can talk to Lorraine and have her support you with it. If you don’t feel you have gelled with the therapist, you can ask to be reallocated without having to go back to the starting board. If you particularly want to work with a certain therapist, you can absolutely request this too.

One of the main benefits of working with us is the option to have an assessment session with no obligation to continue any further sessions. This assessment session is designed to get to know you better and explore whether therapy is right for you; which type of therapy; which therapist; or perhaps give you alternative suggestions of how to get support. Perhaps it isn’t therapy you need but another type of healthcare? The integrity of our team means will always offer you what we genuinely believe would be the best thing for you right now. No therapist wants to work with someone who really doesn’t want to be in therapy! If we think there is a better way forwards, we will let you know!! This assessment session may also be able to give you an idea of how long you might expect therapy to be – however please note that this is will always be very dependent on many factors.
