I offer in-person and online therapy sessions weekdays and evenings in Winchester.

Hi, I'm Lin. I provide a warm non-judgemental space for women navigating mental and emotional challenges. My practice is rooted in a person-centred humanistic approach, emphasising empathy, authenticity, and your innate strengths.

I offer personalised therapy focussing on but not limited to: anxiety and depression, low self esteem and body image support, bereavement and loss, relationship and family dynamics, infertility, IVF and miscarriage support and menopause counselling.

I believe you hold the capacity for growth. Therapy focusses on your lived experience, values, and inner resources, supporting you to find meaning and direction on your own terms. 

My style is calm and collaborative. I will listen to you carefully, follow your lead whether we explore the present, past or possibilities ahead. Sometimes it helps just to walk side by side with support and gentle guidance, as you discover your own direction.

I offer a warm, trusting space where you can experiment with new ways of relating to yourself and others, building greater awareness and maybe some inner inner peace.

I work inclusively and without judgement offering every woman respect, honesty and understanding. I specialise in a wide range of concerns including anxiety and depression, low self esteem and body image support, bereavement and loss, relationship and family dynamics, infertility, IVF and miscarriage support and menopause.

As a counsellor, I'm deeply passionate about supporting women through turbulent times, helping them navigate challenges and find a path towards healing and growth. My motivation for becoming a counsellor stemmed from a desire to accompany individuals in crisis, offering a safe space for them to process their experiences and and recovery.

I provide counselling in Winchester and online, and I'm committed to offering compassionate support tailored to each client's unique needs. In addition to my private practice, I've volunteered with specialist bereavement and women's charities for several years, further deepening my understanding of the diverse challenges women face.

Before becoming a counsellor I worked as a HCPC- registered health professional working in a clinical setting. This experience taught me the power of a safe evidence-based space - a foundation I now embed into my counselling practice

I am a member of the BACP, a member of the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA) and an accredited member of the Foundation of Infant Loss (FIL).

In a first session I will listen to what is on your mind, feelings, recent events or anything else you would like to explore. Our sessions will be 50 minutes in-person or an hour online. We will discuss what you hope to gain and how we will work together. This  session will be about getting to know each other, hearing your lived experience and creating a safe foundation for further work.
