About Lynsey
Lynsey Adams describes her practice around an integrative approach that blends different therapies to fit each person's needs. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings three years of experience to her work. Lynsey focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and a wide range of life changes.
She uses client-centred ideas to make space for what the person bringing concerns knows about themselves.
How Lynsey works
Sessions aim to help people feel heard and to identify realistic goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical steps to change patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to help people manage overwhelming feelings and stay present.
Psychodynamic ideas may be explored to look at repeated patterns that come from earlier experiences. Lynsey draws on these approaches in different combinations so the work suits the person in front of her. Common matters she supports include relationship problems, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem issues and anger.
She also works with career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD and mood differences such as bipolar. Additional focus areas include codependency, communication problems and midlife questions. Sessions are available in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging.
The emphasis is on practical, understandable steps and a calm, steady conversation that helps people move forward.

Online support options
Using integrative and practical approaches online
Client-centred therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience and building a trusting conversation. It helps people feel understood and sets goals based on what matters to them rather than the counsellor telling them what to do.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It brings straightforward tools and exercises to change patterns that keep someone stuck and is useful for anxiety, low mood and habit-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lynsey will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and try approaches that fit. She adapts methods as the sessions progress so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video can feel most like a face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options help people fit sessions around work, family and travel without losing continuity of care.
