About me

Specialist, Recovery‑Focused Counselling for Narcissistic Abuse, Addiction & Mental Health Recovery
Lynn Turner – BACP Accredited Counsellor
Supporting individuals in the UK and internationally since 1999

I offer a safe, confidential, and non‑judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Many people come to counselling feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to move forward. You may be recovering from narcissistic abuse, struggling with addiction, or experiencing anxiety, depression, or emotional distress. You do not have to face this alone.

I work with adults face‑to‑face and online, supporting clients across the UK and internationally.

How I Can Help
I offer specialist counselling for:

Recovery from narcissistic abuse and emotionally abusive relationships
Addiction recovery
Anxiety and depression
Relationship difficulties
Bereavement and loss
Counselling provides a steady, supportive space to help you make sense of your experiences, feel more grounded, and begin to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

 
My Approach
I work in a person‑centred and relational way, using integrative therapeutic methods tailored to your individual needs. Alongside my core person‑centred training, I draw on a range of approaches to support recovery from emotional abuse, addiction, anxiety, and depression.

I work collaboratively and at a pace that feels right for you, with emotional safety, trust, and respect at the heart of the therapeutic relationship.

Training, qualifications & experience

Professional Experience & Training

I qualified in 2000 at the Metanoia Institute (London) as a BACP Accredited Person‑Centred Counsellor, specialising in addiction and domestic abuse recovery. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I also hold a Diploma in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery and a Diploma in Couples and Family Therapy, which underpin my specialist work with individuals healing from emotionally abusive and manipulative relationships.

Over the past 30 years, I have worked across counselling, psychotherapy, and senior leadership roles within domestic violence services, addiction services in Central London, and a Swiss rehabilitation centre. My roles have included Clinical Lead, Supervisor, Service and Development Manager, and COO.

I am the Director of Soulworks Counselling Ltd, supporting clients in the UK and internationally, and I collaborate with Unfilteredd, contributing to trusted content for survivors of narcissistic abuse.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

Further information

Clients come for counselling when they are depressed, in crisis, have experienced trauma, feel confused or stuck in life. Whatever the reason my role is to listen, understand and then help you to explore your options and goals.

Our first meeting will be a 50 minutes ‘assessment’. This time is for us to get to know each other a little, to explore what brings you to counselling and for us to plan a way forward. I endeavour to work at the pace that suits you. I do not believe one size fits all, but that every client is unique, so my approach thoughtfully embraces different methods and strategies as needed.
I believe in empowering clients, helping them to discover their own solutions and potential. I am not the expert on you or your life, but am here to enable you to understand yourself; to find out what is causing your pain and to support you while change happens.

You decide the goal of each session. Counselling and therapy can lead to a deeper understanding of problem areas in your life and a growth in self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence. This transition leads to a healthier and more fulfilling life. Through therapy you have an opportunity to learn how to break unhealthy cycles of behaviour

I hope by working together you will find the best version of yourself.
