About me
Hello, my name is Lynette, I am a qualified Therapeutic counsellor and member of the BACP. Firstly I would like to take the time to say thank you for reading my profile.
I offer short and long term counselling therapy, and that would be to suit your needs and requirements.
I work with adults, families, couples and young people.
I have a background including working with couples at Relate, Childline and at a Rape and Family Sexual abuse centre I can help with difficult and diverse issues. I have also worked with teenagers and young adults with complex problems.
My intentions are always hoping that I create a warm, comfortable and confidential environment, where you can feel safe, respected and free from judgement. You will be shown empathy and the ability to speak freely and share your problems openly in full confidence. I will work closely with you in a Person Centred way to help you resolve any ongoing issues that you may be experiencing.
I can help with issues in:
- anxiety and depression
- marital issues (couples or individuals)
- sibling rivalry
- childhood sexual abuse and adulthood effect
- specialise in bereavement support (long term or recent occurrence)
- low confidence and low self esteem
- addictions
My aim is to help people overcome challenging situations that we can often unexpectedly find ourselves in. Life can be hard, lonely and frustrating and sometimes we may not know where or who to turn to in difficult and troubled times, sometimes all we need is the opportunity to be heard, understood and helped.
If you feel that I am the counsellor for and you wish to make contact with me, could I please ask you to contact me by telephone as this is my preferred way of contact (call or text). If I am unable to take your call please leave your name and phone number and I will get back to you. You are welcome to phone at any time, late evenings and even weekends.
If you would rather contact me by email you can send me a message here - I will respond promptly

Member organisations

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
