Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online care
Lynda commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood and stress. She also practices a person-centred approach that emphasises empathy, active listening and collaborative goal setting - this approach supports self-esteem, emotional processing and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Lynda works together with each client to explore which methods fit best with their needs, goals and personal preferences, adjusting the work as progress is made so the therapy remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy allows Lynda to offer sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose what suits their routine and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family life and other commitments while still accessing support from registered professionals and therapists.
