I contacted Lynne after struggling with chronic pain and anxiety for many years. I had made some inroads into my pain using a mind-body approach but was really struggling to manage the anxiety that was fuelling my pain. If I had a flare up of pain, it was really difficult to keep calm, especrive. I love doing craft activities and as these all involve using my arm/shoulder/neck, I was getting fed up of 'resting'.
After working with Lynne for just 2 sessions, I really felt the benefits, especially having someone to talk to who understood. And I even felt it was OK to pour out the stuff I normally would keep hidden (the not nice and unreasonable stuff!)
We did some powerful work identifying the part of me that was vigilantly trying to keep many, many 'plates' spinning all at the same time and allowed them to drop. What a relief! And then we worked on what keeps me trying so hard to be better/perfect.
I really feel that I have found a precious resource in Lynne. She is calm, warm, humorous, very knowledgeable and has a wealth of training to call upon. I would encourage anyone who has pain or other symptoms that have persisted beyond the usual healing time of 6-8 weeks, to contact Lynne and discuss their problems with her - you will not be disappointed.

I decided to contact Lynne at a time when I was feeling very anxious and wanted this to stop ruling my life. With Lynne's background of working within the NHS and following my first chat with her I decided to begin my journey with her life coaching programme. I found my sessions with Lynne to always be very helpful and left with a lovely feeling of calm and positivity. Lynne is very kind, non-judgemental and empathetic. I have been reminded that I have all I need within me to be the person I want to be and to be kind to myself. Even though life can still be challenging at times, I now feel more confident and at ease within myself. Thank you Lynne for helping me to find the real me again.

Lynne worked with my teenage daughter for a few sessions and has given her excellent support and strategies to help her with quite high levels of anxiety. Lynne is thoughtful and is highly skilled at supporting people to understand their own thoughts and emotions. She is also very easy to talk to! My daughter feels this input has been invaluable.

Kind, compassionate, and calming. Working with Lynne over the past few months has completely changed my life around, she managed to help in a way that has allowed me to understand myself and how my mind works. From the first session I was instantly comfortable with her due to the friendly environment she effortlessly creates, this helped me regarding my own anxieties as I knew I was in an open, judge-free space. I have had previous therapeutic help, and yet my experience with Lynne outshines it all; I would highly recommend. Ethan

"Professional Warm Kind Understanding Non-judgemental Friendly Caring Relaxing". These are a few of the things that come to my mind when I think of a session with Lynne. I’ve felt stuck in a rut for quite a while now, always thinking I’ll do something about it soon. When I have a few days to myself, when I finish that work thing etc. Procrastinating really I suppose. A friend of mine shared Lynne’s page last year & I ‘liked’ it & enjoyed her content. I kept thinking, I must get in touch with her & see if there’s anything she can do with me!! But I held myself back because I thought maybe it’s just me being silly, I have a good life & good people around me, so I shouldn’t (😏) feel like I need help with anything! And so, more procrastinating.... until I finally got in touch. Well, in just a few sessions I cannot explain how different I feel about things. Lynne listened, empathised, encouraged & helped me feel like me again. When I think of the time I wasted making excuses not to get in touch with her sooner, I could scream!!! I didn’t need a reason at all, Lynne just chatted away & listened like I knew her for years & it felt so good. I feel so much more put together & lifted!! If you feel like I did, please don’t waste your time feeling like you need a big reason, as it’s reason enough if you're thinking about it. Thank you so much, Lynne. I’m forever grateful.

In recent months, I'd found myself struggling to come to terms with how hard it has been to recover from fairly major surgery.
I’d retreated from colleagues, friends and family, I was having so many negative thoughts and wasn’t enjoying doing the things that normally made me happy. Having always been a fit, active and happy person, this was all such a shock.
A friend, who had previously had some coaching sessions with Lynne, recommended I see her.
I found Lynne so easy to talk to, I was finally speaking to someone about how I really felt and what my fears were. Lynne encouraged me to stop setting goals and just find something each day that made me happy. We talked about living in the present moment, which I thought I was, but now realise my head was always racing ahead. She helped me understand that I can change the dynamics of relationships by thinking about things differently, choosing not to let things upset me that might have previously. I can live in fear of something or I can choose a different outcome.
With each session, I’ve taken away something slightly different and have felt a massive shift, which is hard to describe but is noticeable to those closest to me, but most importantly, to me.
I’ve found joy in life again, loving seeing my friends and family more than ever.
I’ve learned to accept where I am physically and that it’s a period of time that will pass.
I’ve taken control of my feelings around certain relationships and they’ve improved substantially.
I can also feel the positivity passing on to others as I interact with them.
If you feel anxious, stressed, down, lost or are struggling at all, some time with Lynne will undoubtedly help. Thanks so much for everything Lynne!

I can highly recommend coaching sessions with Lynne. I approached Lynne for help in changing my career but also hoped she could help me with the constant anxiety I had lived with since my youngest child was born 12 years ago. I had been doing the same job for 20 years that I didn't enjoy, I felt stuck, low in confidence and didn't know what else to do.
Initially, I was unsure how zoom would work and was apprehensive about not meeting face to face. However from the very first call, it was so easy. Lynne has this wonderful way about her, I'm not sure I can explain it! But she made me feel at ease immediately and I felt that someone finally "got" how I was feeling. I felt at last I could be completely open about how I felt. I no longer felt ashamed of anxiety.
Lynne helped me to see the world in a different way and I've found a sort of inner calm or confidence. I'm not saying I don't worry about things anymore because I do. But the difference is that the worries don't seem to matter so much anymore. They come and go and I don't dwell on them. I overthink much much less about everything and it feels great! Even quite challenging situations I feel more able to get on with. I live much more in the moment and don't think too far ahead in a fictional future.
Six months on from where I started and I have already moved to a different job within the same organisation (something I had wanted to do for years) and am making slow but steady steps in pursuing a completely different career. I now feel excited for the future.

Lynne is so easy to talk to and completely makes you feel at ease. She has been an incredible support to me and helped me immensely through a particularly stressful final year of university during the pandemic. Lynne has provided me with numerous coping strategies and invaluable advice allowing me to view the world from a different perspective and observe my thoughts rather than getting caught up in them. I have noticed a huge difference in myself since having sessions with Lynne and am making progress towards living life without anxiety ruling me. I am forever grateful for Lynne and cannot recommend her highly enough
