About Me: Therapy That Gets Honest

My name is Lynn. Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent 25+ years in the high-pressure, ego-driven world of media. I learned firsthand how easy it is to keep performing while quietly burning out. Eventually, I knew something had to shift—and I began retraining as a therapist.

You're not broken. You're using old, outdated strategies that once kept you safe.

Now, I work with adults ready to challenge inherited beliefs, roles, and emotional rules. Therapy is about unlearning what no longer serves you—so you can stop shrinking, stop apologising, and stop performing for approval.

This is therapy with accountability. You’ll learn to:

It’s not about being difficult. It’s about being authentic—and not shrinking to make others comfortable.

My style is direct, warm, and always honest. I’ll meet you where you are, but I won’t let you stay stuck if you’re ready for change.

How I Work: Grounded Therapy. Lasting Change.

01

I practise Contemporary Psychotherapy

An adaptive, evidence-based, integrative model. I draw from multiple approaches based on your needs, emotional rhythm, and therapeutic goals.

02

I work with people, not protocols.

You won’t get cookie-cutter advice. You’ll get curious, reflective exploration grounded in what actually works.

Therapeutic Modalities I Use

Relational & Emotional Awareness

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Explore and work with the different “parts” of yourself—like the inner critic or wounded child—to create more internal harmony, self-leadership, and emotional balance.

Person-Centred Therapy

Work from a foundation of empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard—so you can explore your experience safely and at your own pace.

Transactional Analysis

Recognise and shift the roles and communication patterns you fall into with others—helping you build healthier, more conscious relationships.

Gestalt Therapy

Focus on present-moment experience and emotional awareness to better understand what you're feeling, needing, or avoiding—right now.

Cognitive & Behavioural Approaches

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

Identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours—useful for anxiety, low mood, and developing practical coping tools.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Shift internal language and behavioural patterns to develop more effective, flexible ways of responding to challenges.

Depth & Insight-Oriented Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy

Understand how early relationships and unconscious patterns shape how you think, feel, and relate—so you can respond with more freedom and awareness.

Existential Therapy

Explore the big questions—meaning, choice, mortality, and freedom—and learn how to take ownership of your life with clarity and intention.

Body-Based & Somatic Approaches

Somatic Awareness

Tune into the body’s signals—like tension, tightness, or restlessness—to help regulate your nervous system and process what words often miss.

Clinical Hypnosis

Access deeper emotional insight and stored experience through guided, focused states of awareness. Especially useful for anxiety, trauma, and shifting stuck patterns.

Clinical Hypnosis: Let the Body Speak

Clinical Hypnosis is a powerful therapeutic tool I integrate into talk therapy where useful. In a safe, focused state, it helps bypass mental defences and access emotional material held in the body.

It’s especially effective for:

Clients often find it clarifying, calming, and deeply insightful.

Psychoeducation: Tools That Stick

Understanding your nervous system, emotional wiring, and coping mechanisms helps you respond with insight instead of autopilot. I offer accessible, practical education throughout therapy, so you can integrate what you learn and keep using it long after sessions end.
