Lynne Norlund , BACP

Lynne Norlund is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports individuals dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, addictions and issues around intimacy. Lynne works with a wide range of life challenges including career change, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.

She uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help people sort problems into manageable steps. Sessions focus on practical tools and simple thinking exercises. Lynne aims to make sessions feel realistic and usable between meetings.

Lynne has practised for 16 years and holds BACP membership, which she lists as her professional credential. Her approach mixes acceptance-based work, cognitive techniques and mindfulness skills. These methods are used to help people notice what matters to them and try new ways of coping.

People can expect a friendly, respectful style that centres their goals. Lynne often blends solution-focused planning with longer-term work on patterns, such as attachment or avoidance. She tailors conversations so each session addresses the person in front of her.

She accepts clients across the United Kingdom and internationally and offers several ways to meet. Lynne encourages a collaborative process where the person and counsellor choose practical strategies together. Her aim is to help people make steady progress and feel more able to manage life’s ups and downs.

Approaches that fit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters and take small actions in line with those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and for anyone wanting clearer direction rather than quick fixes.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on accepting the person’s experience and offering empathic listening. This approach is helpful when someone needs to feel heard and to build trust as they work through painful feelings.

Finding the right approach is usually a gradual process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide whether ACT, client-centred techniques or a mix of methods best suit the person’s needs and goals. Goals and methods can change as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions or live chat can be quicker options when time is short or lower bandwidth is needed. Text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. Together these formats offer flexibility and regular contact while working on therapy goals.
