Lynn Walker, NCPS

Lynn Walker trained as a counsellor after a long career in nursing. She brings four years of counselling experience and a calm, steady manner born from frontline healthcare. Lynn is registered with NCPS and offers online support from the United Kingdom. She speaks English and is open to working with clients internationally.

Lynn aims to make people feel truly heard without judgement. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the client. She draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and hypnotherapy to suit different needs.

Her main areas include stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and LGBT issues. She also pays attention to related problems like abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication and commitment issues, and coping with life changes including illness or loss.

Lynn describes her style as warm, patient and practical. She uses straightforward tools such as thought-work, grounding and mindful practice, and guided imagery when appropriate. Sessions focus on small, usable steps rather than lengthy theory.

She also has experience working with blended family dynamics, fertility-related distress, dissociation, domestic violence aftermath and chronic pain or illness. Her nursing background informs a gentle, trauma-aware approach that keeps clients' pace and safety in mind.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Lynn works collaboratively to set goals and adjust methods as progress is made.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people who feel stuck by old relational habits to notice those patterns and try different ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own experience and pace, giving a non-judgemental space to talk things through and find personal solutions. This approach suits people who need listening, validation and a gentle way to explore feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online work it often involves setting small tasks, noticing unhelpful thinking and trying new behavioural experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation while remaining at home. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare or other commitments.
