Lynsey Martin, NCPS

Lynsey Martin is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape mood and behaviour. She encourages people to take the first step and recognises that reaching out for help often takes courage.

Lynsey aims to make sessions feel open and non-judgemental. She offers a calm space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, low mood and confidence. She works with people facing life changes, relationship worries, parenting strain, and difficulties around sleep or eating.

Her approach draws on several therapy styles to match individual needs. Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) help identify unhelpful thinking and build small, practical changes. Client-centred methods place the person’s own goals at the centre of the work, and mindfulness practices support present-moment coping.

Lynsey also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at personal stories and past patterns that still affect day-to-day life. She combines these perspectives to help people untangle repetitive habits and find new ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person’s comfort.

If you are managing addiction concerns, trauma, issues linked to identity, or chronic illness, Lynsey includes those topics within her work. Her practice lists areas such as ADHD, bereavement linked to adoption or foster care, codependency and communication problems among her focus areas. She supports clients in setting clear goals and building steady coping skills.

How Lynsey’s approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences, offering a supportive space where the counsellor listens and reflects what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and daily habits, breaking them into smaller steps. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or eating because it gives clear strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. The therapist will work together with the client to decide whether more practical CBT tasks, reflective narrative work or a person-centred focus fits best. This is a collaborative process based on the client’s goals and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats she currently offers before booking. Many people value remote work because it can fit around work, reduce travel time and allow more frequent short check-ins when needed. Others find a conversational, goal-focused approach transfers well to remote sessions because exercises and homework can be shared and reviewed between meetings.
