Lynne Sturges, BACP

Lynne Sturges is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She specialises in helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Lynne also supports those facing life changes and people wanting to work through relationship difficulties.

Lynne aims to build an open and non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. She listens closely and helps people put words to feelings. Her approach is practical and straightforward, focusing on what will help in day-to-day life.

Sessions often begin by identifying the immediate concerns and what each person hopes to achieve. Lynne and the client then agree on simple steps to try between sessions, so progress can be noticed week to week. She encourages honest, calm conversation and checks that approaches feel manageable.

She also works with people dealing with chronic pain, long-term illness and disability, and addresses issues linked to pregnancy and early parenthood, including postpartum depression. There is experience supporting people affected by military service issues and women's health concerns.

People who choose Lynne can expect a warm, steady presence and clear, practical focus. She believes taking the first step is an act of courage and supports clients as they find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

How Lynne’s approaches work in online therapy

Many of the ways Lynne works are based on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and then try small experiments to test different ways of thinking and acting; this can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Another approach emphasises talking through feelings and life events to make sense of loss and change, helping people find new routines and ways to cope.

Finding the right method is part of therapy. Lynne will work together with each person to choose what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision helps keep sessions relevant and manageable as things change over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, remote work can allow shorter check-ins, quieter surroundings when appropriate, and flexibility to schedule appointments around work or family commitments.
