Lynne Norlund, BACP

Lynne Norlund helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, addictions, eating issues, parenting strains, career pressures and compassion fatigue. Lynne has particular experience around attachment and abandonment, divorce and separation, and challenges faced by first responders. She works in English and accepts clients internationally from the United Kingdom.

Lynne practises a mix of talking therapies that are practical and straightforward. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs and goals. Sessions are collaborative and aim to identify small steps that make daily life easier.

Her background includes 16 years in therapeutic work and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has also completed a certificate in life coaching with distinction. Lynne draws on this experience to blend coaching ideas with therapy when helpful.

In sessions she will listen, reflect, and help people try techniques between meetings. Expect simple exercises, mindfulness practices, and tools drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and solution-focused work. The aim is to build realistic coping skills rather than long, abstract programmes.

Lynne describes herself as empathetic and honest in her clinical style. She encourages practical progress while respecting each person’s pace. If you want a down-to-earth counsellor who focuses on usable strategies, she may be a good match.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on identifying what matters to someone and taking small committed steps toward those values. It often helps with anxiety, stress and low mood by shifting attention from symptoms to chosen actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful cycles. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and empathy, giving space for people to find their own solutions with the counsellor's support.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice happens together, and it can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and can be a good option when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are preferable. Many registered or accredited professionals use these ways of working to keep continuity of care and help people use therapeutic tools in everyday life.
