Lynne Sturges

Lynne Sturges is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Lynne focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and she also supports those facing life changes and parenting challenges.

Lynne works with people who want to talk through relationship concerns and the strain that caring roles can bring. She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where emotions and thoughts can be shared. Her approach is practical and warm, and she encourages small, manageable steps toward change.

In sessions she helps clients untangle stressful patterns and develop clearer ways to cope. Conversations together can include looking at what feels overwhelming, trying new ways of responding, and building everyday strategies that fit each person’s life. She pays attention to how mood, loss, and life transitions affect day-to-day functioning.

Lynne has experience supporting people living with chronic pain, illness or disability, and she is familiar with issues affecting veterans and the armed forces. She also offers support for postpartum depression and for concerns that particularly affect women.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. Lynne invites people to explore what they want to change and to set goals at a pace that feels manageable. If you decide to start, she helps you take the next steps toward clearer thinking and more stable routines.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. One common approach emphasises identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding to worry and low mood; this helps with anxiety and depression by breaking patterns that keep problems going. Another approach concentrates on coping skills for life change and loss, offering simple strategies to manage grief, adjust routines, and rebuild steady habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and current needs and then recommend a way of working. That recommendation is flexible and can be reviewed as therapy progresses, so the plan is shaped by your feedback and what actually helps.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around family, work and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel to attend a session. For precise details about how Lynne runs sessions and which formats she currently offers, check the booking information or ask when you complete the matching questionnaire.
