Hi, I’m Lynda, a counsellor based in Rochester. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or carrying a grief that’s hard to explain. Maybe something has changed in your life, or perhaps it’s been building for a while. I offer a calm, steady space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. We’ll take things at your pace. Sometimes we may sit with what’s heavy; other times, we might begin to gently untangle it. Together, we’ll explore ways to cope and feel more grounded in who you are.

My background in working for organisations across London & Kent gave me a particular understanding of the emotional challenges that many of us face including, depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, grief, bereavement, relationship & family issues. I believe that evidence based psychological therapies such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) along with an integrative counselling approach allows flexibility in dealing with each individual’s needs. This, combined with a safe & non-judgemental therapeutic relationship is key for the process of change & recovery.

I like to describe life as an intricate tapestry woven from the threads of time, experiences, and emotions within relationships. Sometimes these relationships bring fulfilment and happiness. Sometimes they bring heartbreak, confusion, grief and a sense of deep loss. This can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, fearful, guilty, confused, and overwhelmed by life or 'stuck' and unable to move on. If you have experienced grief, past trauma or loss. Or you feel held back by feelings and emotions of past experiences. Perhaps you have tried to carry on with life as usual, but are struggling to keep it together.

You’re someone who feels overwhelmed by stress, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion—maybe you’re a highly sensitive person (HSP) or struggling with anxiety, burnout, or past trauma. You want to break free from old patterns, feel more grounded, and build healthier relationships, but you’re tired of just “coping.” You crave a safe space to explore your emotions, understand your triggers, and cultivate self-compassion. Online therapy appeals to you because it’s flexible, private, and removes the stress of commuting. You’re ready for deep, meaningful change, not just quick fixes.

I work with you to help you make sense of things & find meaning and purpose in order to move forward and feel less lost.

You are not alone. There are many reasons why people seek counselling such as anxiety, bereavement or relationships and it can be a combination of things that makes someone feel overwhelmed. I work with all age groups, genders and cultures; with individuals, couples and families. Talking can be difficult for anyone so I also offer creative and animal assisted therapies to enable clients to express their feelings and experiences in a less challenging way. I am experienced in different life issues: If you are Deaf I can sign BSL or you might be on the Autistic Spectrum. If appropriate I can also work with clients in a home setting.

Good rapport with your Counsellor's the first step towards achieving change. My Counselling approach is different to anything my clients (both Adults & Children) have experienced before and it's because of this, they've felt at ease quickly and gained maximum benefit from their sessions. I've Counselled since 2019 and have a diverse range of additional skills that I integrate into my Counselling work. I work with Victims of Crime within Kent, as well as Children & Families who've been bereaved. I have over 10yrs experience working with Children & Young People, including those with additional needs, so my approach is inclusive.

My direction towards self-development has exposed me to deep & wonderful values. I now understand that feelings don’t need to be avoided or feared, they just are. I know people are all inherently creative & given the right environment of empathy, non-judgmental & unconditional positive regard everyone can find their way.
