Fostering growth in Long Eaton, Beeston & Nottingham

I help individuals come to terms with traumatic life experiences

Hello, I'm Lynda

Are past experiences affecting your present life? Would you like support and tools to help you regain control? I believe profoundly that - while you can't change past experiences - it's possible to lessen their impact on your life today.

As a trauma therapist, I offer strategies to assist clients to unravel and navigate the impacts of disturbing events experienced as a child or adult.

Having had difficult experiences myself, I know it takes courage to confront the past. I can promise a compassionate and accepting approach. Honouring my clients' safety, uniqueness, and autonomy is of utmost importance in how I practise.

Does this resonate? Why not book a call to explore how I could help you.

Common themes I work with

I specialise in traumatic experiences and many common themes come up in my work with clients. But these are not always trauma-related. So even if you haven't experienced trauma, they're still things that I could help you with. They include:

Feelings of stress or anxiety

Relationship problems

Perfectionism

PTSD & Complex-PTSD

Low confidence or self-esteem

Feelings of sadness and depression

People pleasing

Family issues & estrangement

Common queries about therapy

Q: How does therapy work?

A: Successful trauma therapy is built on a trusting and open relationship between us. And you might need some time to feel comfortable enough with me.


It's not one-size fits all, so I’ll work with you on what you feel is most important.

Q: Can I be honest with you?

A: It’s important to be as honest as you can about your feelings and experiences both positive and negative. But you need to be confident that what we discuss is confidential. As a member of NCPS I’m bound by their Ethical Framework to protect your confidentiality.

Q: Do I need therapy every week?

A: To build a relationship which makes it comfortable for you to share your feelings and experiences, it makes sense to meet weekly. But as flexibility might be important to you, it's possible move sessions around if I have availability.

Q: When would my appointment time be?

A: I usually plan consistent timeslots each week and aim to give you the same appointment time/day each week, which is yours for as long as you continue sessions. But if you need more flexibility due to different work patterns etc. that's usually possible.

Q: How do I find you?

A: My home-based private counselling room is in Long Eaton, near to Beeston in Nottingham, NG10 2BS. It's on a major bus route approx. 25mins from Nottingham city centre (SkyLink and Indigo). If travelling via the M1, take junction 25.


Q: How many therapy sessions do I need?

A: This is difficult to determine in advance as every client has unique needs. If you would like a set number of sessions you can let me know. Alternatively, we can take an open-ended approach with regular progress reviews.


Q: What happens in the first therapy session?

A: In the first session, I would address any questions you have about counselling & trauma therapy and gather some information about your life as a starting point for your therapy. This might include how you are currently functioning and whether you've had therapy before.

How much does therapy with me cost?

The cost of investing in face-to-face or online sessions for counselling and trauma therapy is:

£55 per session

Feel free to book a 20 min chat with me to see if you'd like to work with me. You can ask me any questions that you have about therapy.
