Lynsey Martin, NCPS

Lynsey Martin is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds NCPS accreditation, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, with a clear focus on listening and understanding each person's situation.

She helps people cope with stress and anxiety, low mood, and challenges with self‑esteem and motivation. She also supports those facing family tensions, relationship worries, and life changes such as career transitions or caring responsibilities. Concerns such as addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and issues connected to trauma and abuse are also within her practice focus.

Lynsey uses several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on client‑centred work to build trust and understanding. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness and narrative techniques help people reconnect with values and the stories they tell about their lives.

Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what a person wants to change, and small steps that can fit into everyday life. She encourages people to set realistic goals and to review progress together.

Lynsey is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) working in the UK. She offers appointments in English and does not take international clients. To start, people are asked to use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves open listening, reflecting what someone says, and helping them feel heard. This approach is useful when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps people spot patterns that keep problems going and practise small changes to thinking and action. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and to simple breathing or noticing exercises. It can reduce rumination and help with sleep, stress and everyday overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences, and then recommend ways of working. This is a shared decision rather than a fixed prescription.

The source biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑ins when that better suits a day. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt approaches so practical coping strategies can be tried between meetings and reviewed in follow up sessions.
