Meet Lorna Bell

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lorna Bell. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Lorna , we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

I found my purpose through my early experiences in life. Growing up in a family of 7 children, being the youngest and only female we struggled a great deal in those early years. I found myself being in survival mode most of the time with low finances, minimal emotional support and no discussion of feelings or emotions. I was emotionally neglected and often felt like i did not matter. I worked diligently to find solace and comfort by journaling and practicing what is now considered Mindfulness and lots of prayer. I wanted to be a source of hope for others experiencing anything similar. I knew there was a calling on my life to help evoke healthy and positive changes in the lives of the people I’d encounter. I followed the past of Psychology and more specifically, Counseling Psychology. I wanted to understand myself and why I thought and behaved the way i did. As I grew into adulthood,
I continued to encourage, support and uplift others in hope of them having the insight and courage to identify and utilize their internal strengths to help them work towards, reach and maintain their gifts as well as their goals. I was able to overcome self shame, guilt and feelings of not being “good enough” on my later adult like. There is so much more to my story and I’d love to share more about my purpose in the near future.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I am a growing small business owner of Bell’s Counseling Services LLC lookingto grow my practice to reach more people with questions and work on meeting their needs, wants and desires. I support individuals, couples and married couples with improving themselves individually and collectively with healthy tools for communicating their needs as well as encourage listening skills. Additionally, setting healthy and realistic boundaries in hopes of better outcomes for living their true authentic selves and showing up for themselves. I am currently working on reaching a larger audience by co hosting on a Podcast with varying topics for youth and adults. My desire is to be the therapist others seek out, because of my ability to relate and empower.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back over my journey, I’ve acknowledged my need to slow down, learn how to speak effectively, demonstrate grace, patience and be able to reach those seeking my services in a direct, but with a gentle approach. I possess a wealth of skills in counseling, coaching and supervision as well as insight into myself, to aid others with their daily needs to be fully functioning individuals in their own lives.
