Lornaās Story
Through her work as a Psychologist and CBT Therapist in London, alongside extensive experience in high-performance coaching, Lorna identified limitations in traditional therapy for high performers. Many founders and leaders seek support from someone who understands the realities of building, leading, and making decisions under sustained pressure, as well as a deeper, more practical, psychology-driven approach that integrates therapeutic principles with life and high-performance coaching.
This insight led to the creation of The Devine MethodĀ®,a bespoke, holistic framework that blends evidence-based psychological principles and tools, high-performance coaching, mindfulness, and performance advisory. The method supports ambitious individuals in moving beyond high-functioning anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, and overthinking. Rather than simply managing symptoms, the framework focuses on helping individuals think clearly, navigate high levels of pressure, make confident decisions, and sustain high performance without compromising wellbeing.
Alongside her private client practice, Lorna partners with corporates, venture firms, and family offices, supporting founders and senior leaders with decision-making, leadership challenges, and long-term performance sustainability. Her work extends beyond individual sessions to include strategic advisory and bespoke support for leadership teams.
She has worked with corporate organisations such as BDO in London and has delivered wellbeing and performance workshops for internationally recognised brands including F45 and Heartcore.
