About Lynne
Lynne Sturges is a United Kingdom-based counsellor with three years of professional experience. She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. Lynne keeps sessions direct and focused so conversations lead to practical steps forward.
She aims to make the first contact easier for someone thinking about seeking help. Lynne creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what feels hard. She encourages clear, honest conversation about feelings and behaviours.
Background and approach
Sessions are designed to be straightforward and to help clients notice small changes that make daily life easier. She often works with relationship concerns and with parenting-related stress, helping people spot patterns and try different ways of relating. Lynne also offers support around trauma and abuse, and she can help those facing chronic pain, illness or disability.
Postpartum depression and women27s health topics are also within her focus areas. Lynne values practical strategies alongside open listening. She helps people set simple, achievable goals and reviews progress together.
That practical focus can make coping tools feel more usable between sessions. People can expect sessions that are compassionate and action-orientated. Conversations are paced to suit the individual, and Lynne works collaboratively to find approaches that fit each person27s situation.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Many of Lynne's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and coping tools. One common approach is problem-focused work, which looks at specific difficulties and tests practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, stress and everyday struggles.Another frequently used element is structured emotional processing, which helps people name and work through feelings such as grief or depression. This approach supports pacing difficult topics and building skills to manage intense emotions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lynne discusses goals, preferences and priorities with each person and adapts methods as needed. That partnership helps ensure work in sessions feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when internet bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can be a good fit when video is not feasible or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for regular, low-intensity contact and for people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue contact between sessions.
