About Lynne
Lynne Sturges is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and managing life changes. Lynne aims to make the first step less daunting by offering steady support and practical conversation.
Her approach is straightforward and down to earth. She creates a calm space where people can talk about what is worrying them without feeling judged.
Background and approach
Sessions are built around listening and working out realistic, manageable steps forward. Lynne also supports people who are struggling with relationship issues and with parenting concerns, bringing a practical focus to conversations about how to improve everyday interactions. She has additional experience with chronic pain, long-term illness and disability, issues affecting veterans and armed forces personnel, postpartum depression and women's health matters.
In sessions she concentrates on what the person needs now. That might be short-term coping strategies or exploring patterns that keep problems repeating. Conversations can include looking at small changes to daily routines, ways to manage strong emotions, and clearer communication with others.
She encourages people to move at a pace that feels right for them. If someone wants help to feel steadier, make sense of loss, or cope with change, she offers practical guidance and compassionate listening.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques aim to give clear tools and ways of thinking that people can use between sessions. One useful approach focuses on recognising and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; it teaches practical steps to spot thoughts and test them against reality. Another common method emphasises skills for managing emotions and stress through breathing, grounding and step-by-step problem solving; this suits people who need calmer moments and clearer plans.Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, what has helped before, and how they prefer to work. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and make adjustments as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can work when a lower bandwidth option is needed or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and the chance to write things down between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines.
