“This process of the good life is not, I am convinced, a life for the faint-hearted. It involves the stretching and growing of becoming more and more of one’s potentialities. It involves the courage to be. It means launching oneself fully into the stream of life.”
— Carl Rogers

  • Counselling can be short or long term, in-room or remote. It can help you feel heard and understood, and provide an opportunity for you to make sense of yourself within your world, and offer potential towards insights and self-compassion to enable change. Psychotherapy can also help you (as above) however we may explore emotions, patterns, behaviour, identity, or areas of inequality a little more deeply. This is typically longer term, and affords space and time to look at core wounds and influences. Both offer the chance to get closer to yourself.

  • There can be times when difficulties emerge within your relationship(s). This can be problematic for you and those close to you, as well as significantly impact other aspects of your life. You may want to enhance your relationship, to improve the quality of connection, and help build awareness so that you can more consciously make choices and communicate.  Sometimes you may be looking to end a relationship, or an ending may emerge. Clear communication throughout this process can be helpful. On the whole counselling with another can be a very healthy process.

  • Supervision is arranged as a regular meeting between supervisee and supervisor to aid the efficacy of the counsellor-client relationship with the client at the centre. It is a supportive and collaborative process that aims to develop knowledge, and competence to work as safely and effectively as possible. In alignment with the BACP ethical framework and lawful practice, concerns and responsibilities are afforded exploration, and issues and dilemmas addressed.

  • Walk and talk, or meeting at an agreed outdoor location within nature, offers numerous proposed benefits. These include but aren’t limited to: A reduction in formality and less pressure to ‘find the words’. An aid to wellbeing through natures green and blue stimuli. Ample metaphorical opportunity, offering interception on your experience. Conversely, stimuli outside of your emotions which can aid regulation. In other words there is a grounded quality of being outdoors, plus instinctual regulated breathing can be calming. The duration of walk and talk is roughly estimated, as sometimes we may meet a wild animal (hopefully friendly) get stuck in mud, or take a detour.  See -  Walk & Talk

Contact

Counselling & Psychotherapy.

Welcome. My name is Lindsey, and I am experienced in providing committed, client-centred therapeutic relationships grounded in compassion, respect, and honesty.

If you choose to work with me, I aim to be fully present, authentic and empathetically responsive to you, which can help you become more holistically aware of yourself — including your feelings, emotions, thoughts, and physiological responses.

As someone who is culturally conscious and trained in psychological trauma, I value the impact of your environment on you, including what is happening in your present and what has been influential in your past.

I am also attentive to the many ways in which adversity, marginalisation, societal norms, abuses of power, and other factors can manifest and cause disruption. However, I am also aware that adversity can sometimes serve as a fertiliser for growth.

For background, I am BACP accredited, holding a BA (Hons) 1st in Person-Centred Counselling & Psychotherapy, and I am also a qualified teacher (DipHE), which supports my roles as trainer and supervisor. I am also nearing completion of a PGCert in Psychological Trauma.

I have 10 years of experience working with individuals and couples. My ongoing learning has been diverse, including Meditation, EMDR, Ecotherapy, Polyvagal Yoga, and 7 years of teaching Counselling level 2 -5. I work for culturally competent practice, including Gender, Sexual, and Relationship diversity. I am mixed British-Egyptian.

Where to start?

I am pleased you have found your way to Flourish Counselling and Psychotherapy. However, I acknowledge it can be unclear where to start and challenging to envision a way out of certain feelings, situations, or habits.

I want to offer reassurance: You have taken the first step by reaching out with the intention of making a change.

The next step can be to make contact with me or another therapist. If you choose me, please consider my fees, location, and therapeutic approach. If all is ok, and I have availability that works for you, we can agree on a date and time for an initial session.

This initial meeting can help determine whether I am the right fit for you. We can then begin.
