I work with relationship issues, identifying difficult dynamics between couples and
family
members, and ways to resolve them.
I have many years experience working in public and private sectors with a wide range of people. I am trained in a variety of approaches, for instance CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Psychosynthesis, Compassion-Focused Therapy for Trauma, and Systemic Therapy for couples and families. My aim is to identify what will make your therapy most worthwhile whether short or longer term, how to reach for desired goals, improve your relationships and build self-esteem and confidence. My PhD is Critical and Creative Writing (UEA, 1997) and I am a published author. Website: lyndamiathompsonwriting.com

While other relationships, such as friends &
family
, may be partly based on assumptions of who you are and what is best for you, my practice is guided by the firm belief that no one is capable of understanding you better than yourself. I am therefore committed to facilitating an exploration of self that is free from assumptions, agendas, and judgements - my sole goal is to understand you, and in doing so help you to better understand yourself and your right to be accurately understood by others.

You may be struggling with a relationship. There might be a lot of pressure around. Perhaps you have lost a sense of who you are. Life might have lost a little direction.

Does something need to change in your life? Would it help to talk it through? Being 'heard' is crucial to our development and ability to validate ourselves as worthwhile human beings. I provide a non-judgemental counselling service in a safe environment to help you explore your concerns and gain control of your situation. As an integrative counsellor, I am able to draw from a range of theories to suit your needs as an individual. Through counselling, I can help you to understand yourself and as your self-awareness grows, provide you with the opportunity for positive change.

Growing up has never been easy but perhaps due to the ever-changing circumstances, it is becoming even more difficult for children and young people with so many things they have to navigate or are exposed to. When children struggle emotionally, whether they are toddlers or teenagers, either their behaviour detoriate or unhealthy ways to deal with those strong emotions emerge. Either option can be scary and not many will be willing to talk about what is in their mind or is upsetting them.

Welcome. Finding yourself on here means you have taken that first, and most likely scary, step towards seeking counselling. You may be experiencing ongoing issues (of any kind) or an unsettled period in your life and are looking for a safe environment to talk about and understand what you are experiencing. I am a qualified person-centred counsellor, but more than that, I am someone with a wealth of life experiences behind me. I believe that the combination of my training and these life experiences have helped me become a person who can offer empathy and compassion to those facing challenges.

Reaching out for help and support can be a difficult first step to take. You may feel overwhelmed and need help knowing where to turn. At such a time it is important that you find the person that is right for you. I provide a safe, supportive, open and respectful space for you to talk confidentially without being judged and to explore what is troubling you. You do not have to do this alone. I can help and support you in managing what is happening for you there and in moving forwards from it. Managing issues such anxiety, depression, stress or insomnia can feel overwhelming, but you can make this happen.

In counselling we talk about psychological, emotional and behavioural problems that you wish to address. These conversations lead to better self-understanding, new ideas and an opportunity to shift perspective, ultimately leading to more contentment in life and more adaptive behaviours. These are therapeutic conversations which can console us or provoke us to change old unhelpful attitudes and behaviours. The work is done at an easy pace with no coercion. You are the expert on your own life and you set the agenda.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
