Background and approach

Sessions are paced to suit each person, with attention to safety and emotional readiness. Over her career Lynette has worked with many people facing panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood disturbances. She also supports those dealing with chronic pain, guilt and shame, and life changes such as midlife shifts and questions about purpose.

Her approach balances short-term coping skills with deeper work on attachment and abandonment issues when that is helpful. Lynette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and post-traumatic stress alongside anxiety and depression. She explains options clearly so clients can make informed choices about what to try.

The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes. People who reach out can expect straightforward guidance and a focus on skills they can use between sessions. Lynette helps clients set realistic goals and track small changes over time.

She supports people as they build routines that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

How Lynette uses practical approaches online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people manage anxiety and trauma. One approach focuses on grounding and skills training to reduce panic and acute anxiety. It teaches breathing, pacing, and behavioural steps to lower distress in the moment and to stabilise day-to-day routine.

Another approach targets unhelpful thought patterns and repetitive behaviours that fuel depression and obsessive thinking. This work involves identifying patterns, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practising new, more adaptive responses between sessions. For trauma-related difficulties there is a focus on safety, pacing, and slow integration of difficult memories rather than rushing through painful material.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals and preferences, and adapt methods to suit your needs. Together you set priorities and decide which techniques to try first, reviewing progress as you go.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video suits longer conversations and visual connection, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a shorter check-in during a busy day, and messaging lets people reflect in their own time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
