Are you ready to come back home to yourself?
Welcome to Lori Parker Therapy. I offer warm, compassionate counselling for people who are feeling disconnected, overwhelmed and swept along by the ups and downs of their cycles. Supporting you to feel understood, grounded and at home with yourself.
finding it hard to feel in tune with yourself and you cycle?
Welcome! I’m Lori, a qualified therapeutic counsellor based in Manchester, offering both in-person and online sessions.
It can be exhausting, overwhelming and confusing when your emotions, energy and body feel unpredictable or when you feel out of sync with yourself.
With experience as a menstrual cycle coach and a birth and postnatal doula, I bring a relational, cycle-aware approach to my counselling work. I am passionate about supporting women to understand their cyclical patterns, reconnect with themselves, and find more self-compassion as they move through the ups and downs of life.
My journey into counselling was shaped by my own lived experiences of trauma and finding a sense of belonging as a neurodivergent, queer, mixed-race woman. Therapy gave me the space to make sense of these parts of my life, reconnect with myself, and move forward with more clarity and compassion. I bring this same care and support to the space I hold for my clients.
support through life’s cycles
Does your cycle feel like a burden?
Your periods wipe you out, the week before feels completely overwhelming, or maybe you suspect you have PMDD. If you’re feeling drained, frustrated, or fed up with the constant ups and downs, I can support you to get to know your own rhythm and feel more at home in your body.
Struggling to honour neurodivergent needs?
Sensory overload is feeling hard to manage, everyday task are overwhelming, emotional regulation feels out of reach and to top it off it’s like your menstrual cycle is magnifying it all! I offer a supportive, neuro-affirming space where you can explore how you can support your cyclical and neurodivergent needs in realistic, sustainable and compassionate ways.
Feeling disconnected from yourself?
You feel out of touch with your body, you’re not sure where you belong or it feels like you’ve lost your sense of self. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected and not quite like your true self anymore. I can support you to gently reconnect with your body, your feelings, and who you are beneath it all.
Journeying through a new cycle altogether?
Pregnancy, postpartum and navigating parenthood can turn everything you knew about life and yourself upside down. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, bit like you don’t recognise yourself anymore, or finding it hard without the anchor of your menstrual cycle, I can meet you with warm, compassionate support as you find your feet and adjust to this new phase of your life.
