About Lynne
Lynne Norlund is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports clients facing parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties and addictive behaviours. With a calm, direct manner she aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
She works in a practical way and adapts conversations to fit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most now and on small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. Lynne uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies alongside structured exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred methods.
Lynne blends these methods with solution-focused planning so clients leave with concrete ideas they can try between sessions. She also brings coaching skills to help people identify workable goals. Lynne has been practising for 16 years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That membership reflects her professional standing in the UK. Therapy sessions are offered in English and can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Many people find online appointments easier to schedule around work and family commitments.

How Lynne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour into manageable parts and focuses on practical exercises to shift those patterns, often helping with anxiety, mood and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lynne will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not worked before, then suggest a route to try. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit around a busy day or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care around work, family and travel commitments, while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
