MBACP
BSc (Hons) Psychotherapy & Counselling
What is Offered
Hello, I'm Lynda, and I thank you for landing here.
I offer psychotherapy and counselling for adults in N. Wiltshire and Derby, either face-to-face or through a blend of in-person and telephone/online sessions if required. Appointments span 7am to 9pm seven days a week. Some of the issues and challenges with which I help are listed on the next page.
Employee Assistance Programme: I also provide an EAP service for organisations. Having previously worked in HR management, I understand how personal and emotional challenges can affect both individual wellbeing and workplace productivity. I offer confidential, professional support designed to promote staff wellbeing and organisational health, and am conversant with Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a practical and effective approach often preferred in EAP settings.
​
Students: You are invited to make contact should you require mandatory therapy for your course.
The approach
I facilitate individuals to be able to explore their thoughts, feelings, and life experiences in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space, and help them respond to difficult and painful situations in a resourceful way. I believe that therapy should reflect that every person is unique, their difficulties often having roots in several factors.
Rather than adhering to one particular theory or technique, I use an eclectic, person-centred approach that draws from a range of psychological perspectives. These include components of creative therapies (art, nature etc.), compassion-focused therapy, psychosynthesis, coaching, elements of philosophy and several other modalities. This flexible, holistic approach allows each session to be tailored to your wants and your needs. Proceeding at YOUR pace, care, compassion and confidentiality, are at the heart of my values and underpin my work.
My aim is to help you to develop greater self-understanding, resilience, and fulfilment - whether in the short-term focused on a specific issue, or longer-term therapy for buried wounds, or something in-between. Sessions are usually weekly.
