Welcome
My name is Lynda and I am an experianced Person-Centred Counsellor (MNCS ProfAccred). I provide a confidential counselling service for adults, couples and children. If you are reading this you might be wondering what coming to counselling is all about and how it might help you.
At times life can reach a point where we become overwhelmed with problems and worries and it isn’t always easy or obvious how to navigate a path through. You may have family or friends trying to offer advice and support but it can sometimes feel difficult to be truly open and honest with those closest to us. Commonly when we are experiencing overwhelming worry we can be left feeling unheard, confused and isolated.
Counselling offers a non-judgemental, confidential space to talk freely and honestly about how you are feeling. It offers a safe relationship where you will be heard, understood and accepted. Clients visit counselling at all life stages and for all kinds of reasons, it could be current problems or worries, bereavement, life changes, anxiety feelings, stress, periods of depression, relationship issues or past life experiences that are affecting your present to name just a few. Whatever you wish to explore, talking about it really does help.
Counselling is not about advice giving or direction, but more about having someone by your side to travel with you whilst you find the right solutions that fit you as an individual. We work together collaboratively to make sense of your past and present, so you can move forward positively with clarity and new insights. My aim with all my clients, both adults and children, is to build a relationship where it feels comfortable to be yourself so you can build a sense of who you are and how you relate to others. Talking through what troubles you can help you explore your worries in depth and in getting to know yourself better, self-acceptance, self-esteem and confidence grows.
I am a member of the National Counselling Society and hold professional accredited status (MNCS ProfAccred). I have a full disclosure and barring service check (DBS) and safeguarding certificates for children and vulnerable adults. Please take a look at the ‘About me’ page for more information and the ‘What to expect’ page for more about how to book a session and frequently asked questions about starting counselling and the counselling process.
I am active on social media, please use the links above and below on this page to catch up with me on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. To make counselling as accessible as possible I am now offering counselling sessions online and by phone.
