Lynda Spain

I offer counselling sessions Monday to Wednesday, from 9.00 a.m. until 6.00 p.m. 

I have over 27 years NHS experience, counselling in general practice and the voluntary sector. I feel I have warmth, empathy and sympathy with clients and can enter their world to understand their concerns. My aim is to "Enable People to help themselves" so that they feel empowered to make choices and changes for themselves. Extensive experience of bereavement, grief and loss/ Management of stress, especially within Organisations. I specialise in  Anxiety concerns, stress symptoms and bereavement, grief and loss of any kind, having worked in these areas for many years.  I mainly work with adult clients  face to face and via ZOOM/telephone,  I am on the approved list of counselling supervisors at University of Salford and York St. John University.

I see clients of various ages, over the age of 18, and can offer sessions over the telephone, or via ZOOM.  An assessment session can be arranged, where you will have the choice to decide to engage in future sessions.  I offer calm, empathic counselling in the hope that this will enable you to make decisions about how you want to help yourself.  All contact is confidential and professional. Have been in private practice for the last 18 years, and am interested in helping people overcome their anxieties and low mood.  I enjoy helping people to make decisions and hopefully change. The management of stress is a special interest of mine.

I offer Outdoors Therapy if you are interested in being amongst nature, trees and pleasant walks. This would be discussed over the telephone prior to making this arrangement.

Assessment session, in order for you to decide whether what I offer, is what you are looking for, within a confidential setting on the phone or via ZOOM.  Assessment within counselling basically means allowing us both to listen to your concerns, identify what is an issue or issues for you.  When this has been decided, a plan for how you wish to use your session, with a focus in mind, can be agreed upon.  We will regularly review sessions so that I can check that you are receiving what you expect from counselling therapy.
