Hi, I'm Lynn and I am passionately committed to bringing about change. Change to thought processes and emotional responses. Change to core belief systems and to self worth. I genuinely believe that knowledge is power and my aim is to help clients understand why they think and feel the way they do in the present and then explore and embed new and kinder ways of thinking and being. Ways to emotionally regulate and discover SELF.
I would describe myself as a Combinational Therapist. You've heard of 'one size fits all', well I believe this really does NOT apply to therapy. Due to the numerous tools and techniques I have built up over the years, I am able to adapt my approach to be individual to each client. From the Talking Therapies approach most are familiar with to the EFT(tapping) to the deeper Inner Child change work.
I believe we all deserve the time and space to work through the many challenges life throws at us, many of which are not as a result of our choices. It is important to establish which are ours to own and which have been developed due to others. The impact of others can take away our sense of control to function, make decisions and contain a healthy level of self worth.
I can give clients confidence to find their own answers. To find who THEY really are. My role is to share alternative ways of thinking that can enable change and allow people to actually live their lives instead of just existing.
I have worked with and supported various vulnerable client groups over the past 20yrs ranging from supporting teenage mothers, young people living in care, those affected by domestic and sexual abuse and rape. Holding a space with someone and helping them to move forward, was what lead me to make the decision to train and practice as a therapist, a change specialist.
