Connor Lynch

I currently have availability for new clients and offer sessions in-person, online, or outdoors in nature.

I offer flexible appointments across the week, including evenings, weekends and occasional late-night (8pm-2am) online sessions. This flexibility helps me support people with busy or unpredictable schedules, whether that’s due to shift work, caring responsibilities or simply life being full. If you’re unsure what might work, just get in touch...I’m happy to adapt where I can.

At the moment, I have space for new clients and can usually offer an initial appointment within a couple of days.

If you’re thinking about starting therapy, feel free to reach out with any questions. There’s no pressure, just a chance to explore whether it feels like a good fit. I aim to respond to messages within a few hours.

If you’re reading this, you might be thinking about talking to someone. I know from personal experience that reaching out can feel like a big, uncertain step. So let me start by saying: I’m really glad you’re here.

I offer a relaxed, down-to-earth space for anyone who’s struggling with… well, life. You don’t need a diagnosis, a big reason, or the perfect words. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, disconnected. Or maybe you just know something isn’t right. Whatever it is, we can explore it together, at your pace.

I work with people from all walks of life. My door’s open to anyone who wants support, whatever your story. That said, I have particular experience in supporting people affected by addiction, trauma and high-pressure roles. This includes those working on the front lines of care. I’ve built up over 400 hours of experience supporting people through addiction-related challenges on a one-to-one basis. One of my current roles involves co-facilitating a community outreach programme in Glasgow. I also support a team of frontline professionals consisting of paramedics, nurses and others…who show up for others every day, often at the cost of their own wellbeing.

I also have a close connection to the animal-care world through my own working background. Whether it’s veterinary, rescue or something in between, I understand the emotional toll this kind of work can take, the quiet compassion fatigue that builds over time, the grief, the pressure to keep going.

I use an integrative, person-centred approach. In other words, I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I draw from different types of counselling and shape each session around what feels most helpful for you. You’re the expert on your own life. My role is to bring empathy, insight and flexibility to support you as you figure things out. We’ll work in a way that makes sense for you.

Sessions with me aren’t rigid. They’re human. Sometimes they’re serious. Sometimes they’re unexpectedly fun. I go out of my way to adapt each session to meet you where you’re at. No pressure. No judgement. Just genuine support.

You can choose how we meet:

• In-person in a cosy, trauma-informed space

• Outdoors in nature, at a pace that suits you

• Online, if that fits your lifestyle best

Why I offer outdoor counselling

Throughout my life, I’ve always felt a deep connection to nature. It’s where I go to reset, decompress and come back to myself. Most weekends you’ll find me off-grid in Galloway Forest Park, getting lost in the wilderness with my dog. Nature plays a huge part in keeping me grounded, and I love being able to share that with my clients. It’s not about hiking boots or pushing limits. It’s about slowing down, breathing, and letting the natural world support your process. Nature is ever-changing, and so are you.

Therapy doesn’t have to look or feel one particular way. It just has to feel safe enough to start. So if something about this has caught your attention, even if you’re not sure why, you’re welcome to get in touch. Come as you are.

In our first session, we’ll explore how we can best work together. This is a chance for you to get a feel for how I work and for us both to begin understanding what you’d like from therapy.

You don’t need to prepare anything or have the “right” words, just come as you are. We’ll go at your pace. I may ask some gentle questions to get to know you better, but there’s no pressure to share anything you’re not ready to.

We’ll talk about what’s brought you here, what you’d like support with, and what feels most important for you right now. We’ll also discuss practicalities such as how often we might meet, what type of session suits you best (in-person, online, or outdoors), and whether you’d prefer a fixed or more flexible approach.

I don’t carry out formal assessments or use questionnaires in the first session unless we’ve agreed this might be useful. My approach is more about building a genuine connection and creating a space where you feel safe enough to explore what’s going on.

The first session is charged at the standard rate. If you’d like to have a chat first, I offer a free 15-minute phone call with no pressure to commit...just a chance to ask questions and see if it feels like a good fit.
