Lynne SturgesBACP

Lynne Sturges is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. Lynne aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and practical for someone who may be feeling overwhelmed.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She works to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on small, realistic changes that can make daily life feel easier.

Lynne has supported people working through relationship concerns and parenting challenges, and she also offers help for those facing trauma or abuse. She has additional experience with chronic pain, illness and disability, issues affecting veterans and armed forces, postpartum depression, and women’s issues.

In sessions she listens carefully and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of coping. Conversations often include practical ideas to manage anxiety, tools to cope with low mood, and steps to work through grief. The approach is collaborative and paced to suit each person.

To start, Lynne asks a few simple questions and makes a plan together about what to focus on. Her aim is to help people move towards a more manageable and fulfilling day-to-day life.

How Lynne’s approaches translate to online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical change and clear steps. One common approach helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood; it is useful for stress, depression and everyday worry. Another approach centres on working through loss and strong emotions by naming feelings, making space for them and finding ways to adapt day-to-day routines; this can help with grief and postpartum depression.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time as needs change, so the plan is reviewed and shaped together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It also offers flexibility for quieter conversations or shorter practical sessions when everyday schedules are busy.
