I am a qualified Counselling Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have experience working across NHS, third-sector and private settings, supporting adults with a wide range of psychological difficulties, from anxiety and low mood to more complex and long-standing challenges.

My work is shaped by a deep interest in identity, culture and belonging. I recognise that our experiences do not exist in isolation, but are shaped by our relationships, communities, and the wider world around us. This includes being attentive to how social and political realities, and events happening globally, can shape our emotional lives in ways that are often difficult to hold alone. This perspective is informed by my own lived experience of moving between different cultural contexts, which has shaped how I understand the nuances of identity and belonging. I am attentive to the ways in which culture, context and life experiences can influence how we understand ourselves and the difficulties we face.

Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful and genuine. I aim to offer a space where you feel heard and understood, while also gently supporting you to notice patterns and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others. I see therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to make sense of your experiences and move towards meaningful change.

Alongside my private practice, I also work at Power The Fight, an organisation focused on empowering communities to end violence affecting young people.

Hi, I’m Lynn.


My Approach

My primary working language is English however, I also work in French and Arabic.

Trauma-informed

I approach your experiences with care, curiosity and sensitivity to what you may have been through. Rather than asking “what’s wrong with you?”, I am interested in understanding what has happened to you, and how this may be impacting you now. Together, we can gently explore patterns and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Client-centred

I see you as the expert of your own world. Therapy is a collaborative process, where we shape the work together around your goals, values and what feels most important to you. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected and able to explore your experiences at your own pace.

Culturally rooted

I recognise that our experiences are shaped by our relationships, culture and the wider world we live in. I pay close attention to questions of identity, belonging and context, and how these may influence your sense of self and the difficulties you are facing. This includes being mindful of how power, culture and lived experience can shape distress.

Integrative & flexible

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioural, dialectical behavioural, compassion-focused, psychodynamic, systemic and narrative perspectives. This allows me to adapt the work to you, rather than expecting you to fit into a single model.

Some people come to therapy with a specific focus, while others are looking for a longer-term space for deeper exploration. We can think together about what feels right for you.
