Lynne Sturges, BACP

Lynne Sturges is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and BACP registration. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or depression. Lynne aims to make the first step into therapy less daunting with a calm, straightforward approach.

She supports people managing major life changes and the everyday strain they bring. Her work includes helping individuals talk through relationship difficulties and parenting concerns in a way that feels manageable. Lynne also offers support around chronic pain, illness and disability, veteran and armed forces issues, postpartum depression and women’s issues.

In sessions she focuses on building an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be voiced. That space is used to identify practical next steps and make small changes people can act on between meetings. She emphasises clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Lynne listens for what matters most to each person and tailors conversations to match those priorities. She encourages realistic plans that fit everyday life and responsibilities. The aim is to help people feel more able to manage their symptoms and move towards a more satisfying routine.

If someone wants to begin, Lynne asks them to start with a short matching process and then schedule sessions according to availability. This initial step helps ensure the first meeting feels purposeful and relevant.

Approaches that guide online support

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often combine listening with practical tasks. One common approach focuses on talking through patterns of thought and behaviour to find small, doable changes that reduce stress and improve mood. This method can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck after a big life change.

Another frequent technique emphasises processing loss and grief at a steady pace. It uses careful conversation to help people make sense of what’s happened and to plan how to carry on with daily life. This approach can be useful after bereavement, postpartum changes or significant health-related losses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try methods that match those priorities. Decisions about how to proceed are collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and removing travel time. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when needed or regular meetings without rearranging a whole day.
