Lynsey Cuthbert offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed. She helps with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Lynsey is based in the United Kingdom and brings 12 years of counselling experience.

She is a BACP member and uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Clients can expect straightforward, down-to-earth conversation. Lynsey listens first and works at the client’s pace.

She focuses on what is happening now and what can be changed next, while also recognising how past patterns affect current feelings.

Background and approach

Her work commonly covers grief and bereavement, parenting strains, career concerns and coping with life change. She also supports people dealing with addictions, burnout, compassion fatigue and issues around gender and sexual identity. Practical topics such as sleep problems, panic attacks and postpartum depression are included in her practice.

Lynsey draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build rapport and give each person space to be heard. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns that repeat across relationships.

Sessions take a collaborative style. Goals are set together and reviewed as therapy progresses. People can expect clear boundaries, safe discussion and help planning next steps.

How Lynsey’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathy and respect so people can speak freely and decide the pace of work. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Online sessions can include practical exercises and planning between meetings to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood or sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lynsey will discuss options and try methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and technique are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people talk face to face when they prefer a visual connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow regular, brief contact and can fit around busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to continue work from different locations.
