Lynne Norlund, BACP

Lynne Norlund helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, life changes and relationship difficulties. She supports people struggling with low self-esteem, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, parenting strains and workplace stress. Lynne also works with those affected by trauma, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.

She uses a down-to-earth style in sessions. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical steps that make daily life easier. Lynne blends several approaches, so conversations can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, noticing the present moment, and setting small goals.

Lynne has 16 years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes grief and loss work and life coaching study completed with distinction.

In sessions she aims to be warm and honest while helping people shape realistic plans. That might mean learning techniques to manage anxiety, practising mindful moments, or setting achievable actions between meetings. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People meet with Lynne for different lengths of time depending on their needs. Conversations can focus on short-term problems or on longer-term patterns that keep causing pain. She invites people to take the pace that suits them and to bring what matters most to each meeting.

How Lynne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression and relationship worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lynne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then adapt methods that fit their situation. The focus is collaborative so the plan can change as needs evolve and progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expressions and tone, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be simpler during a busy day, and chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones while keeping the therapeutic focus on real-life problems and achievable steps.
