You may be feeling overwhelmed by mental health challenges and wondering whether you can enjoy a life of quality where you're in control rather than the mind bully. You're hoping for a compassionate, honest non- judgemental therapist with lived experience and clinical expertise. You want a safe space to unmask and be authentic, whilst being supported to face your fears. You're hoping for a collaborative journey where your therapist is a true partner, guiding you through setbacks empowering you to understand your experiences and work towards recovery - not necessarily "free" of the struggles, but maybe a "little bit less" of them.

Do thoughts like “Am I good enough?” or “I can’t do this” follow you wherever you go? Are painful past experiences or constant worries about things going wrong keeping you awake at night? If so, you're not alone. I help people understand what may be keeping these difficulties going and equip them with evidence-based skills and strategies to break free from unhelpful patterns. Life can feel overwhelming at times, but it also offers an opportunity for growth and change. Together, we'll work towards letting go of what no longer serves you, building resilience, and creating a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

I support clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, bereavement, trauma, the impact of abuse, and life transitions.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in an understanding of how early relationships and life experiences shape the way we think, feel and relate to others. Including parts-based approaches, IFS, and structural dissociation, with particular relation to the impact of trauma, how patterns of experience, survival and coping can be passed down generations.

Many of the people I work with appear to be functioning well externally while internally experiencing anxiety, emotional exhaustion, overwhelm, or a growing sense that things no longer feel sustainable. Often, they are managing responsibility, work, relationships, and the ongoing demands of life while carrying stress that has built gradually over time. My work focuses on understanding the emotional and relational patterns that sit beneath these experiences, and supporting greater steadiness, clarity, and psychological wellbeing over the longer term.

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.

Face to face sessions for adults and young people aged 11 +, located close to Buckingham, in a peaceful countryside setting. Where appropriate, I encourage my clients to take some of their counselling outdoors. This allows you, if you wish, to engage with the healing from nature to complement your therapy and is proving to be very effective. Many of my clients find beneficial outcomes are often achieved in 6 to 10 sessions.

Being heard and accepted for being who you truly are, can feel incredibly empowering. When this is taken away, our thoughts can trigger unhelpful behaviours, increasing low mood.
