About me
Im Lynsey. I believe healing begins through feeling genuinely seen, heard and accepted.
I offer a warm, compassionate and collaborative space where you can bring whatever feels important to you, without fear of judgement. Together, we can explore your experiences, understand yourself more deeply and work towards meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
I support people with a range of concerns, including emotional wellbeing, relationships, family life, life changes and difficulties that may feel hard to make sense of. I have a particular interest in relationships and how our experiences can shape the way we connect, communicate and relate to ourselves and others.
I also offer support to adults/ parents navigating life changes/neurodiversity/ anxiety/ SEND/ loss/ trauma, providing space to process the emotions and changes that can come with understanding and exploring the situation.
My approach is centred on curiosity, compassion and acceptance. You dont have to have everything figured out before coming to counselling, we can make sense of it together.

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.
