About me
Hello and welcome, my name is Lynda I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and CBT therapist. I am a calm, warm and understanding person. I work in private practice from safe and comfortable rooms in Verwood and Broadstone.
During my years of working as a counsellor I have helped many adults and young people aged 16 and over work through emotional and life issues to assist them with making positive changes.
Major life events such as the loss of a loved one, relationship and work difficulties are all experiences we will go through at some point in our lives. You may be feeling unsure or overwhelmed by events or life.
Do you suffer from Anxiety or Depression? Do you have low self esteem? Are you experiencing relationship difficulties? Have you had a Bereavement you are struggling with? Because if so, I can help.
Having Counselling can allow you to talk about the concerns and difficulties which you may not be able to share with others. It can give you the opportunity and space to be listened to without having to worry about being a burden to friends and family.
Coming to Counselling can allow you the ‘me time’ that we often don’t find in our day to day lives.
Counselling can help you to become more resilient and enable you to cope better with life’s stresses and events that can be thrown at us.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client is the key to positive change and with this in mind I aim to offer a safe, confidential and non judgemental environment for counselling sessions.
Through our work together I can assist you with finding the tools to help you help yourself with issues you are experiencing to enable you to move forward and feel happier.
Getting started
You may have been thinking about going to counselling for some time but have been feeling unsure about whether you are ready to take that first step. I respect this and am always happy to take enquiries so you can find out a bit more before you make a decision about whether working with me is right for you.
To help with getting started I offer a free no obligation 30 minute initial appointment, where we would meet, take some details and discuss what you would like to achieve from our sessions.
To take this first step towards making a positive change, please contact me by email, text or telephone. If I am unable to answer please leave me a message and I will contact you within 24 hours.
I work face to face from a comfortable private practice in Verwood, and a private therapy room in Broadstone. We can also work online via Zoom or Whatsapp if you would prefer. I offer daytime, evening and Saturday morning appointments to help fit around your existing commitments.
Please get in touch to find out more or if you would like to book an initial appointment.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
