About me
Hey!
Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I'm glad you’re here!
I’m Lynsey; a fully qualified, integrative counsellor who currently has over 3 years of experience and a significant amount of hours of real experience – helping real people mitigate real issues. As an integrative therapist I use a combination of different therapeutic approaches to tailor the therapy specifically to you. I disbelieve that therapy has a one-size-fits-all approach, there isn’t a singular method that works for everyone. For this reason, I will use a variety of methods to build a personalised treatment plan specific to you, allowing you to grow and thrive as an individual.
What to expect
With experience working with a large scope of issues, whether it be stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse or anything else, whatever you bring to our sessions will always be met with deep empathy and understanding – never judgement. My priority will forever be to provide a safe space for you to feel comfortable in. A space that enables you to explore your own thoughts and feelings freely. I will be there to walk beside you in every step, setback, and stagnancy – together, we will face this journey head on.
Our first session would be a time to get to know one another and agree to work together. We will discuss any desirable goals and expectations you have from counselling, and of course, ensure that you are happy to continue, and your voice is heard.
I offer a wide variety of counselling environments, without preference. It is your decision. Whether it be face to face, zoom call, and/or telephone sessions - I will be there. These options and preferences will be discussed, whatever makes you most comfortable.
Please get in touch for a free 15 minute consultation call with no obligation to book. First steps can be scary but I will be here without judgment to listen and guide you every step of the way.
Hope you to hear from you soon. Lynsey

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.
