With 17 years of practice Lynne has supported people through relationship difficulties, loss and grief, and major life changes.

She works at a steady pace that suits each person. Sessions aim to make feelings clearer and to find practical steps forward. Lynne values the working relationship and tries to create a space where someone can be heard without judgement. Lynne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted in her credentials as BACP and reflects her professional membership. People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, careful listening and help to make sense of confusing emotions. She tailors her way of working to the issue in front of her, whether it is anxiety, depression, caregiving strain or problems with intimacy and commitment.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Many of Lynne's sessions use straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand and manage difficult emotions. One common approach is problem-focused work that looks at current worries and practical steps to reduce stress and anxiety; this helps when day-to-day coping feels overwhelming. Another approach is work that examines attachment and relationship patterns, which can clarify why certain fears or communication problems keep repeating and suggest new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey and happens together. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful. This collaborative process means the method can change as needs shift over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while live chat and text-based messaging let someone check in without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and mobility needs, and they allow people across the UK to access support without travelling.
