About Lynsey

Lynsey Martin is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Lynsey also supports people facing family conflict, relationship challenges, addiction concerns and issues around motivation and confidence.

Her approach is straightforward and client-centred. She encourages people to talk about what matters to them and listens without judgement. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, practical steps that feel possible to try between meetings.

Lynsey often uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of reacting. She also draws on mindfulness practices to support managing overwhelming feelings, and narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult chapters of their life.

People who come to Lynsey for help with parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, anger, or career uncertainty find the sessions focused and practical. She will help explore what is causing strain and work through options at a pace that suits the client.

Her background includes supporting those affected by trauma and abuse, attachment and adoption issues, chronic illness and bereavement-type concerns. Lynsey explains approaches in plain language and checks in regularly about progress and next steps.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people explore what matters to them. The therapist reflects what the client says and supports them to make their own choices about next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems in place and introduces practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then try methods together. That means sessions can shift over time if different strategies suit better.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a workday, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use audio-only options if they prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and how often to meet during the first conversations.
