Elders (65+) Counselling in Bedworth

Hi, my name is Lynsey and I would like to help support you in this difficult time. Sometimes we go through life at such a fast pace that we ignore our underlying feelings and this can sometimes cause us upset and frustration. I wonder if you are Living a life with uncomfortable feelings and not knowing how to process them which can be holding you back from a more fulfilled life, are you finding it hard to understand yourself or Maybe you have felt things are too much right now and have a lot going on in your head. We get bogged down sometimes and tend to push our emotions to one side, which can lead to unwanted behaviour.

There are many reasons in which people may wish to come to counselling. Sometimes people feel lost or stuck in life and want to explore this in a confidential setting. Others may feel no longer like themselves and are struggling with difficult feelings. Whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, or another challenge you are currently facing, I am here to help. I recognise sometimes in life it can feel difficult to know where to turn when we need someone to listen without judgement. There are times when we feel anxious, low in mood or stressed and want to get to the root cause of this.

Life doesn't really go as expected and finding the right support is key to move forward. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in combination with Systemic therapy allowing a tailored approach based on clients needs. CBT is aimed to support clients identifying the triggers and the dynamics that hide behind their difficulties, learning coping strategies to deal with them. Systemic therapy is often considered an approach to treat families and groups however, it also effectively apply to individuals.

I'm a Psychological Therapist with over 10 years experience working in mental health services in the NHS. I specialise in anxiety (including panic, worry & post-traumatic stress disorder) and depression, as well as pregnancy and post-natal issues. I provide a safe space for people to share their difficulties and take a collaborative approach to help them through their distress.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions, finding it challenging to navigate through life's transitions, or experiencing a sense of disconnection? Perhaps you're caught in self-sabotaging patterns, despite your genuine desire for positive change. Are you neurodivergent trying to navigate a world designed for neurotypicals? Whatever has led you to seek therapy, I'm here to provide a supportive space where we can explore your journey, embrace your strengths, and work towards what matters to you. I offer a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming and collaborative safe space utilising evidence-based modalities such as EMDR and ACT.

As an experienced qualified counsellor, I am passionate about establishing a professional therapeutic relationship. I feel this connection enables us to build trust and work collaboratively to explore the difficulties you may be experiencing. A fundamental component of my work is to support clients to find inner peace and balance in life. Also to explore your current situation, find acceptance and bring about meaningful change. Through a process of growth, self-awareness and self-discovery together we can achieve your goals.

I am a very experienced therapist, I have worked within the NHS and in Private Practice since 1994 and am a Senior Jungian Analyst, a Training Analyst, an Examiner and a Supervisor. I have a special interest in working with people experiencing relationship difficulties, difficulties in the workplace and those suffering from depression and anxiety. There is a wisdom in anxiety, any emotional crisis is a call for personal growth, for insight and to a new path through life. The belief that symptoms have meaning leads to a more positive approach and outcome, so that suffering is not in vain but the prelude to a more meaningful life.

At times life can be challenging and can sometimes feel overwhelming. Finding yourself looking at counsellors it seems you have already made the decision that things need to change.

Sometimes they're part of the problems we are dealing with. Whether you're seeking a simple improvement or healing from deep wounds, within yourself and/or with others, I can help.
