About Lynsey

Lynsey Martin helps people work through stress, anxiety, family conflict, self-esteem and depression using a client-centred approach and other talking therapies. She is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) and has four years of professional experience in the UK.

Lynsey focuses on creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. She aims to be clear about goals and practical steps people can try between meetings.

Her background includes working with a range of concerns such as relationship difficulties, coping with life changes, parenting questions, and issues linked to addiction and trauma. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and career stresses.

Lynsey draws on several approaches to support change. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's own perspective, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, Mindfulness techniques to reduce stress, Narrative Therapy to look at personal stories, and Psychodynamic ideas to consider past influences.

She works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Lynsey uses talking therapies online

Lynsey commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own view and encourages open discussion of feelings and thoughts. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and works on small practical changes to reduce distress.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help with stress and grounding. Mindfulness offers simple exercises to reduce reactivity and support calmer thinking. These approaches are often mixed to suit the person's current needs and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust them based on progress and feedback.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera if preferred. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists typically aim to make sessions practical and compatible with a client's routine.
