Lynsey Adams , BACP

Lynsey Adams is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief and relationship concerns. Lynsey also supports those dealing with identity and intimacy issues and the challenges that come with life changes.

She applies client-centred principles to make conversations feel collaborative and respectful. That means the sessions begin with the person's priorities and pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical tools and small experiments can help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Mindfulness-based ideas are introduced to help people manage overwhelming emotions and build steadier day-to-day habits. When useful, she draws on psychodynamic ideas to help bring long-standing patterns into view and understand how past experiences can shape present reactions.

Lynsey holds BACP which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, compassion fatigue and fertility-related distress. Sessions can cover both short-term goals and longer reflective work depending on what a person needs.

People can expect straightforward language and practical suggestions in sessions. The work often includes techniques such as journaling, behavioural experiments and mindfulness exercises. Lynsey aims to adapt the mix of approaches so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

How Lynsey's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a collaborative space where the person's priorities guide the work. It helps people feel heard and often forms the starting point for setting goals and deciding what to try next.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It suits people who want concrete steps such as journaling, behavioural experiments or thought records to manage anxiety, low mood or addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before, then adapt the mix of client-centred, CBT or mindfulness ideas to fit the person's needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily commitments, while keeping the focus on consistent, useful progress.
