To the outside observer the field of psychotherapy offers a bewildering array of approaches. My suggestion is that you don’t try to choose between them, but focus instead on the person you might work with. In many ways, your relationship with your counsellor is the key to getting the results you want. So, you need someone you can trust and be absolutely open with. Tune into your feelings. Let them to help you decide which candidates are empathic, respectful and honest. Did you feel treated as an equal? Did you leave a meeting feeling warm?

This may be something that has been going on for some time, perhaps over many years, or it may be brought on by an event. It can help to share these feelings with a trained therapist. Psychotherapy offers a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk, think and be.

All of us can encounter moments in our lives where our habitual ways of doing things don’t seem to work any longer and we get stuck. Counselling can help working through these difficulties, by becoming aware of what we do and how we do it and whether our ways of thinking or doing things are helpful or not. This awareness is the foundation for change and together we can find new perspectives and kinder ways of engaging with yourself, that enable you to experiment with a wider variety of choices and support you leading a happier and more satisfying life.

I know from experience that it can be hard to know where to start, and to take the first step. Especially if feeling uncertain, vulnerable or anxious. I welcome you to contact me for an initial chat. We can figure things out from there.

I have worked with people, from different backgrounds, suffering from anxieties and feelings of despair and depression. Self criticism and criticism towards others may lead to isolation and low self esteem. People may not understand their feelings or why similar patterns in relationships occur. Grief arising from a loss, such as a bereavement, may too evoke a wide range of difficult feelings making it hard to cope. Whilst the facts of the past cannot be changed, your story can become updated in therapy. This can help un-addressed difficulties feel more manageable. Consequently, therapy can be a catalyst for growth and healing.

Life often throws challenges at us which can be difficult to cope with. Maybe you’d like to have greater confidence in yourself, be more assertive and at work or improve your relationships? It could be you’ve lived through a traumatic experience or are struggling with addiction. Looking for a change in life direction but not sure how to do it. Therapy might sound challenging to begin but I’ve worked with many people who have gained a lot from it. Whatever is going on I’m curious to explore with you how to untangle the knot.

Modern life in a big city like London can be exciting but also unsettling at times. It is easy to sometimes feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, alone and at loss of where to start. Therapy can help in times of uncertainty. By exploring your thoughts and feelings from both past and present, links can be made to increase your understanding and thereby helping you moving forward. Increased self knowledge and insight can be crucial in forming close and authentic relationships with others, often bringing higher self esteem as a result. Therapy can be a good support and give you hope when you are going through a difficult time.

Hi I am Dr Gary Lynch I think that everyone has a unique life experience, and therefore chooses the approach best suited to the individual and issue. I believe men can often struggle to ask for help especially help with how they are feeling and the problems they are internally struggling with. Why should it be like that? it doesn't have to be. I can help you in the following common areas: Depression, Anxiety, Relationships, Sexuality, Sexual intimacy issue, Addiction, Stress. My role as a psychologist is to explore each client’s personal world and problems and give them tools to understand and better their lives.

Identifying in yourself that you need support and are in a difficult situation is an immensely brave and difficult thing to do. As a therapist I am well aware of that, and will be there to support you through a challenging time. You may be coming to therapy in order to address one issue, only to realise later that there are other questions you have about yourself. I will work with you, and help you explore and try understand whatever it is you wish to. I have a warm, non-judgemental manner, and together we will explore, in an open-minded and creative manner, anything that you want to examine and make sense of.
