Lynda Bailey

I have availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2pm - 5pm.

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, relationships or overwhelm?

Life is difficult and it can feel impossible to discuss with friends or family. Counselling can help.

I believe that everyone is an individual and needs a bespoke therapy that suits their way of being. I can use a range of therapies but mostly I listen and try to understand you as best I can, so we can work together; raising awareness, increasing understanding of what works and what doesn't in your life and creating goals or changes to improve your well-being, relationships and future.

I find it useful to have an introductory session where we can work out if we can work together and then contract for up to 6 sessions. (You are not committed to attending 6 if you don't need them) After the 6 sessions we can look at how you are and can contract for more sessions if you feel they are necessary.

I work face to face in my confidential counselling room in Llandegfan. It has it's own entrance but is not wheelchair accessible. There is a bus stop just outside - Menai Bridge and Beaumaris buses are 2 hourly.

I am a BACP Accredited counsellor who has been working in private practice and EAP's since 2004. I comply with the BACP code of conduct and ethics and have regular supervision, insurance and continuing professional development.

Our first session is for us to find out if we get along. Please ask questions. I will answer honestly and to the best of my ability.

I will ask you what you would like to get out of the counselling sessions. I may use an assessment form if I think it would be helpful to you. You can then decide if you would like to have further sessions. There is no obligation for you to continue.

I normally book the same day and time each week for you, but that can be changed if it doesn't work for you.

I have availability for supervisees on Wednesdays between 2pm-5pm, F2F in Llandegfan. I can do occasional remote supervision but prefer working face to face.

I have been counselling since 2004 and supervising since 2007, working with students, volunteers, recently qualified and experienced counsellors.

I am a BACP Accredited (2014) and have my own private practice.

In supervision I am mindful of the needs of the counsellor; personal development, professional development and safeguarding as well as clinical work. I can support counsellors who are working within different therapies; CBT, Person Centred, Transactional Analysis, Psychoanalytic, Gestalt and others.

My aim is to be supportive and encouraging whilst helping to develop confident, proficient and professional counsellors.

I can offer monthly sessions of 1 hour or 1 and half hours in my counselling room in Llandegfan.

I charge £40 for one hour or £45 for an hour and a half.

I take cash, paypal or bank transfer.

Our first session will be a discussion about your needs and expectations, and to see whether we get along and can work together.
