Lydia Browne

With the challenges of Covid 19 we are all very mindful of one another's personal safety.

For the foreseeable future, I am offering online face to face sessions via Skype, Zoom, Team or WhatApp, or telephone counselling.

My name is Lydia and I have over 12 years experience as a counsellor for adults experiencing emotional upheaval, anxiety or stress.  

If you are experiencing difficult feelings that stop you from enjoying your life to the full. 

If you would like to make some changes in your life and don't know where to start.  

If you have had an upsetting event or upheaval in your life, now or in the past that you are struggling to come to terms with.  

If you are struggling in your relationships with your partner, family, friends or at work.  

If any of the above applies to you, I can help you.  

I offer a talking therapy that focuses on change. I work on the premise that everyone has the ability to learn how to cope with challenging situations in their lives and develop emotional resilience that will enable them to move towards a happier future.

I offer both short term and longer term counselling, depending on your needs.  

Originally from London; Northampton has been my home for over 16 years.  When I am not counselling,  I enjoy many creative pursuits in my spare time such as photography, art and music.  

Our first session will be an opportunity to find out more about each other.  You will be able to ask me questions about how I work, and I will explore with you what it is that has brought you to counselling, what has or hasn't worked for you in the past and what you would like to change.

We would discuss a potential timescale for your counselling and the cost and go through the terms and conditions of our work together.  I will give you a copy of our counselling agreement to take away with you.

At the end of the first session, we could make an appointment for our next session, or if you prefer to go away and have a think about whether you want to continue before you book your next session.

About me

ONLINE SUPERVISION SESSIONS AVAILABLE - UK WIDE

I am an experienced supervisor with a Level 6 CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision.

My core counselling training was Psychodynamic, but in the 10 years since I qualified, I have integrated elements from other orientations into my work, such as person centred and solution focused, offering a relational based therapy to my counselling clients.

Where I work

I work from my home based counselling room, located in Boothville, Northampton.  I also offer online supervision sessions.

I can travel to various locations in Northamptonshire to provide group or individual supervision within organisations. Please contact me to discuss this.

How I work

I offer individual and group supervision to qualified counsellors.

I supervise counsellors from any modality.  This is because the supervision model that I use focuses on exploring relational and contextual issues that affect your work, not just what happens in sessions with your client.  My way of working is both relational and systemic and can stand alone regardless of the theoretical leanings of either counsellor or supervisor.

My aim is to provide you with a dynamic, flexible supervision relationship that will really help you reflect on and develop your work as a counsellor.

Want to know more?

If you would like to know more about how I work and how I can help you with supervision, please get in touch.  I offer a 30 minute pre-contract interview that is free of charge, which can be held face to face, on Skype, or over the telephone.
