About me
Hi, I'm Lyndsey, a qualified psychotherapist with a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. I work with individuals (16+) and couples, offering a safe, confidential space to explore life’s challenges at your own pace.
If you are feeling anxious, have low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, or loss, it can make day-to-day life feel incredibly challenging. At times. this can leave us struggling to know who we are or where we want to go in life. Whatever you're facing, counselling can help you make sense of your experiences and move toward the change you want.
I have a particular passion for working with anxiety, low self-esteem, and ADHD. I understand how these issues can impact everyday life and relationships, and I offer a supportive, flexible approach to help you build confidence, self-understanding, and practical strategies for change. I also have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families.
With so many therapists and approaches available, choosing the right counsellor can feel overwhelming. I believe the most important factor is finding someone you feel safe and comfortable with. Research shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is key to positive outcomes. I often say it’s a bit like Cinderella and the glass slipper; the fit needs to be right. You should feel safe enough to share your inner world honestly and without fear of judgment.
I offer a free initial telephone or online consultation where you can ask questions and see if we feel like a good fit.
My experience includes working in private practice, NHS counselling referrals, and specialist organisations supporting survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence. I also work with a wide range of issues, including:
Anxiety and stress
Low self-esteem and confidence
Relationship and family difficulties
Domestic violence and sexual abuse
Workplace challenges
Trauma and coping with change
Bereavement and illness-related loss
I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including solution-focused techniques, relational work, and trauma-informed practice, to tailor support to your needs. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel safe to explore what’s causing you worry or distress, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable it may be. This process can help you gain deeper self-understanding and empower you to make the changes you desire.
I currently have daytime and evening appointments available. Feel free to call or email to arrange your free consultation.
