Hi, I’m Lynn (she/her), a qualified relational counsellor working in an integrative way that draws on different therapeutic approaches (particularly person-centred and family systems). This approach focuses primarily on the therapeutic relationship and allows me to shape my approach to meet your individual needs and to work collaboratively with you.

 

I understand that opening up and trusting someone can be difficult, and I hope to make it easier by offering a warm, safe, non-judgemental and confidential space. 

 

I am an inclusive, genuine, and compassionate person; I also believe that counselling can benefit everyone. You don’t need to know exactly what you’re looking for or to have specific goals. Counselling can help you to understand and make sense of your situation and what you are feeling, and this understanding can help you to feel empowered to make lasting changes in ways that work for you. 

 

I have worked with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, and the effects of domestic abuse. I also have an in-depth understanding of the challenges that come from difficult family relationships, including family estrangement. Counselling can help you to acknowledge and work with the pain towards a sense of peace and acceptance.

 

I am flexible and can work either open-ended or for an agreed time period. Sessions are usually conducted weekly, as this helps build a sense of routine and consistency but this is something we can discuss when we start working together. 

 

Taking the first step can be the most difficult. To arrange a free 15min, no obligation introductory call where we can discuss your therapy needs and you can ask any questions or if you are ready to book your first appointment, please get in touch by text or call on 07506137444 or by email: lynn@lynnearnshawcounselling.co.uk
I aim to respond within 24 hours where possible.
