Lynda Costin

I am a fully qualified Therapeutic Counsellor, practising in a non-institutionalised setting in the Orpington area, easy distance from Chelsfield and Orpington mainline stations and R1 bus route.  I also cover clients from the wider South East London and Kent areas, including: Beckenham, Biggin Hill, Bromley, Tatsfield, Cudham, Coney Hall and West Wickham.

I believe that every individual is unique and important and so I am passionate about providing a safe, genuine, non-judgemental space for clients to explore and work through difficulties, gaining insight and clarity, enabling answers to be found and peace of mind for short-term issues; or more positive ways to manage your mental health with long-term struggles.

In our first session I will explain about how I work and answer any questions you may have about the counselling process. We will work together to understand what you are hoping for from your counselling and what you want to talk about, and begin with an initial session about that.

At the end of the session we will discuss if you feel you would like to continue to work with me and if I believe I have the right skills and approach for you, or if there are other services better placed for your needs, and if we decide to continue we will agree how we will work together.
