About Lynne

Lynne Sturges helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and coping with life changes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of professional experience in the UK.

Lynne works with people who want to understand and reduce overwhelming feelings. She offers time to talk through what is happening and to find practical ways to manage day-to-day stresses. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps that can make life more manageable.

She has experience supporting people after loss and during major life changes. She also works with people who are dealing with relationship difficulties and with parenting-related strain. Additional focus areas include chronic pain, illness and disability, veterans and armed forces issues, postpartum depression and women's issues.

Lynne aims to keep sessions straightforward and focused. She listens to the person's concerns, helps clarify goals, and suggests approaches that fit the situation. Sessions are a place to reflect, try out different ideas and build practical coping strategies.

Clients wanting to meet Lynne should be prepared to discuss current problems and what they hope to change. The initial stage is about making a plan together and deciding which techniques will be most useful. She works in English and practises within the UK professional framework.

Lynne's background in the BACP framework and her clinical focus mean she combines talking work with practical tools. Over time this can help people feel steadier, make clearer choices and manage difficult emotions with more confidence.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions function

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people manage symptoms and develop coping strategies. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small, practical experiments to see what changes are possible. This can help with anxiety and low mood by giving clear steps to try between sessions.

Another approach emphasises processing loss and strong emotions through structured conversations. These sessions aim to make sense of what has happened and find ways to carry on with daily life while acknowledging the impact of grief or trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences and together they choose which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around family and work commitments and making it easier to attend from different places. If you need specific session formats, please confirm current options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments while balancing everyday responsibilities.
