Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I’m Lynne, a counsellor based in Arundel, West Sussex. I offer face-to-face and online counselling sessions, making it easier for you to find a time that works, wherever you are in the UK.

Whatever you're going through, please know that you are not alone—even if it feels like it right now. I’ve been there myself, and there was a time when I wished the world would just stop so I could take a breath. While the world doesn’t stop for anyone, finding a Counsellor to talk to was the next best thing! Being heard without judgment can make all the difference if you're struggling.  I want you to know you don’t have to face this alone. 

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, processing childhood experiences, or navigating struggles in relationships, we can work together to explore and address these challenges. My goal is to support you in building resilience, finding calm, and rediscovering joy. Together, we’ll work toward helping you move forward in a way that feels right for you, allowing you to embrace life with courage, self-confidence, and authenticity.

Counselling isn’t one-size-fits-all. We are all drawn to different people and approaches, and it’s important to find the right fit for you.

If you’d like a free, no-obligation 20-minute telephone or Zoom call to see whether I’m the right person to support you on your journey, please get in touch.

I work with clients who are facing challenges related to anxiety, and struggles with self-confidence and self-esteem, as well as issues in relationships and family. My focus is to help you build a stronger sense of self and find the tools to navigate life's challenges with confidence.

In addition to my private practice, I volunteer with a counselling service in West Sussex that supports children, adults, and families. I have also worked with teenagers in secondary schools, helping those experiencing a range of challenging circumstances. Through these experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand how offering compassion and understanding can make a profound difference for both young people and adults, helping them build self-confidence and resilience while navigating difficult situations.

I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS check, always prioritising safety, trust, and professionalism in my work. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.

My qualifications include:

Certificate in Counselling Skills - CARA Counselling Training

Certificate in Counselling Studies - West Sussex Counselling Training

BACP Approved Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling - West Sussex Counselling Training

Certificate in Understanding Children and Young People's Mental Health - West Nottinghamshire College

Certificate in Trauma Informed Counselling - Open University

Choosing to begin counselling is a big step, and it’s essential to find the right person to support you. To help you make that decision, I offer a free, no-obligation Zoom or phone call. This gives us a chance to get a feel for each other, and for you to see if I’m the right fit for you.

If you decide to move forward, our first session will focus on getting to know each other better and discussing your goals for counselling. Together, we’ll work towards what you’d like to achieve, ensuring that each session is meaningful and focused on your needs.

Feel free to reach out by phone or email to schedule your free call—I’m here to support you!
