Lynne Mollison brings six years of experience to her counselling practice. She trained in nursing with placements in neuroscience and intensive therapy care, and has worked within mental health settings and the pharmaceutical industry in the UK. Lynne describes her approach as holistic and person-focused, aiming to help people understand themselves and find ways to change that feel achievable.

She offers counselling and hypnotherapy privately, and has provided support in organisations such as student services and workplace programmes.

Background and approach

That background includes experience in school counselling where she supported staff and children as part of a whole-school approach. Lynne works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career questions, anger, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.

Her practice draws on several therapeutic approaches. She uses client-centred methods to build a trusting relationship and solution-focused tools to set practical goals. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going, while mindfulness techniques help with stress and sleep.

Psychodynamic ideas are available to look at longer-term patterns that began in earlier life. Lynne aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them and try small steps toward change. Sessions are conversational and tailored to each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and person. It involves attentive listening and reflecting back what is said so individuals feel heard and can explore their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try different ways of working, and adjust the plan as understanding grows. That means sessions can focus on immediate problems, long-standing patterns, or a mix that suits the person’s needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and shared tools, phone can work when a camera is not wanted, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, education or family life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
