Lynsey Judson

I work with companies, local authorities and schools to provide a bespoke counselling support service for your staff either within the workplace or from our therapy rooms based in Brighouse. 

All sessions are offered Face to face or online, I do not offer telephone counselling at the moment:

I work in a way that fits the client. The person sat with me at the time of the session is my focus and what matters. 

As I work within businesses and schools, staff are often concerned about the confidentiality of the sessions, I do not share the content of the sessions (unless there is a safeguarding concern or anything relating to the clauses set out in the privacy policy on our website); however if there is a general theme recurring I may share this with management but all staff remain anonymous. 

Management are usually forgiving and allow staff to take up to 2 hours fortnightly for the sessions, as although sessions themselves are either 30 or 50mins in length, sometimes staff need some time afterwards to compose themselves or simply take a time out. 

The longer I am based within a company or school the more I feel a shift in the culture of visiting me as 'staff support'. The stigma around having a hard time and needing to 'cover it up' becomes lessened and staff begin to feel comfortable visiting the 'professional listner'. 

Please contact me for more information to see how we can make this work for your staff. 

I have a Diploma in Therapeutic counselling along with a Mental Health first aid certificate. I have just completed adult and child safeguarding Level 3.

I have experience of counselling within Women Centre Calderdale and at a Health Centre working alongside Gps.

I currently work with schools and businesses across Calderdale, Kirkless and Bradford, supporting staff.

 I also work for the charity Gamcare, offering support to both men & women affected by problem gambling.

I am an operations director for a Charity based in Halifax which offers counselling placements to students and low cost counselling to individuals.

Please contact me for information.
