Hello, my name is Lynne and I am a fully qualified and BACP accredited counsellor, providing counselling & psychotherapy at Summer House Therapy in Brentwood, Essex.
Considering therapy may seem daunting. However, with the guidance of a warm and understanding therapist, therapy can be a collaborative and positive experience.
Therapy for Adults
When you are facing difficulties and find yourself feeling low, overwhelmed or lost, it can be hard to find a way forward.
Counselling and psychotherapy can offer a safe space, a time to feel really listened to, understood and accepted.
I can provide you with the opportunity to make sense of your feelings, thoughts and experiences, in a calm space, away from the pressures of your everyday life.
Therapy for Children
You may be concerned that there has been a noticeable change in your child's mood, behaviour or both.
I seek to develop a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship with a child.
This begins with communication of empathy and understanding, setting boundaries and being alongside and engaging in playful activities as directed by the child.
