About me
Hello my name is Lynne.
I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults.
I also offer counselling, creative therapy and therapeutic play for children.
Why you may be considering therapy for yourself -
Are you experiencing intense feelings or are your feelings often just under the surface ?
Have you been experiencing anxiety or stress ?
Do you feel sad, low or have little in or pleasure from things that you used to enjoy?
Do you feel lonely, isolated or find yourself wanting to distance yourself from people?
Have you experienced a bereavement, a relationship break up or a recent loss?
My therapeutic approach
I am an experienced, warm and compassionate holistic counsellor and psychotherapist.
I provide empathy, understanding and empower you to overcome a range of difficulties such as anxiety, depression, overthinking, low self-esteem, confidence or self worth, grief or loss, worrying, burnout or fear of burnout, feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space with sensitivity and empathy.
I believe in establishing a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect and collaboration.
Through exploring your experiences and relationships together, you may deepen your awareness and understanding of yourself and your emotional needs.
I offer insights and encourage you to develop your own.
I offer support in making positive changes for a more fulfilling life.
Creative therapy
Whether have experienced difficult or traumatic life experiences, are a creative person or are just curious about creative therapy - it can have many benefits.
Creative therapy can help you to make sense of and express feelings that are difficult to put into words or are complex in a safe and manageable way.
It can help with developing confidence, self esteem and self awareness.
Creative therapy includes using metaphor and imagery, creative writing and image making, exploring the meaning of dreams, music, poetry and more.
Therapy for your child
I offer warmth and compassion and will deeply listen to your concerns about your child.
My therapy room has been designed to be both calm and welcoming.
Your child will be offered a the range of therapeutic activities and creative materials.
I offer therapeutic play and creative therapy.
These can help your child to process and express feelings, when it is hard to put them into words or speak about them directly. I will be there to support them, whilst they express themselves in their own way and at their own pace.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Further information
I bring warmth and sensitivity, patience, acceptance and compassion to my therapeutic work.
My own experience of therapy has been hugely enriching. It has helped me to develop my self-awareness, understand my own emotional needs develop my communication skills and self care. I therefore truly understand the potential of therapeutic work.
I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, be seen and receive empathy.
