About Lynda
Counsellor (BACP) with four years' experience, based in the United Kingdom. Lynda Somerville focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She works with adults using practical, evidence-based approaches and collaborative sessions.
Lynda holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her background includes a postgraduate diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which she uses alongside person-centred methods to help people manage anxious thoughts and difficult emotions. Sessions aim to identify manageable steps rather than long lists of theory.
In her practice she pays attention to everyday pressures such as work stress, caring responsibilities and burnout. She also supports people through grief, loss and major life changes. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and on practical strategies to cope between sessions.
Lynda describes her way of working as collaborative and person-centred. She helps people set goals and try small experiments to test new ways of thinking or acting. Meetings are straightforward, with clear aims and follow-up ideas to use during the week.
For someone considering starting, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The therapist encourages clients to check which session formats are currently offered before booking.

How Lynda uses evidence-based approaches in online work
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and practising small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for managing work stress, panic, and repetitive negative thinking.The person-centred approach prioritises the client's perspective. The therapist listens without directing and helps the client clarify their own goals. This supports people who are facing relationship problems, grief or big life changes and who want a reflective, collaborative space.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lynda will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a shared process where techniques are tried and reviewed together.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caring routines, avoid travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
