Rachael Lynn

Offering a warm, non-judgemental space to explore loss, low self-esteem, and emotional challenges. I draw on extensive NHS experience and specialise in bereavement support, integrating Person-Centred, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Creative Arts approaches tailored to you.

Grief and change can shake our sense of who we are. You may feel adrift, unseen, or unsure how to begin moving forward. Whether you’re navigating bereavement, a major life transition, or a loss of confidence and self-worth, I offer a calm, understanding space to help you find your way through.

As a Person-Centred counsellor, I believe you hold the capacity for healing and growth within you — my role is to walk alongside you with warmth, empathy, and respect for your pace and process.

I also draw on Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to support you in softening self-criticism, building self-kindness, and developing a gentler relationship with yourself. Together, we can explore your experiences, honour your grief, and rebuild self-esteem from a place of understanding rather than judgment.

Areas of focus:

🌸 Bereavement & Loss

🌿 Self-Esteem & Self-Compassion

💬 Life Transitions & Identity

💭 Anxiety & Emotional Overwhelm

Your first session is a gentle introduction — a chance for us to meet, explore what brings you to therapy, and begin building a safe, trusting relationship. There's no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with.

We’ll talk about:

What’s going on for you right now

What you hope to get from counselling

How we might work together — including person-centred, compassion-focused, and creative arts-based approaches if you choose

It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions, get a feel for the space, and see if it feels like the right fit for you.

You lead the pace — I’m here to support you with compassion, care, and respect.
