My name is Lynsey and I am a qualified, level 6,  Integrative Pluralistic counsellor that has completed a BA (Hons) degree in Counselling and Therapeutic Studies.  This means I work within a school of therapy that is designed to have counsellors and clients  working collaboratively with each other to find the best way to address client's concerns, using ideas and techniques from different therapeutic theories, literature and the clients own life experiences. The different therapeutic modalities that I can offer include Person-Centred, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focused Behaviour Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamics, Trauma, amongst many others. 

One of the main principles of pluralistic therapy is that every person is different, so they will need different processes at different times throughout their therapeutic journey, and the best way to decide on what processes to use is to speak to our clients and ask what is or isn't working and change the process accordingly. I aim to work collaboratively with clients, and seek to always give autonomy by asking preferences throughout and when working on goals. I work with all clients in a non-judgemental, genuine, empathic and sensitive way to walk alongside you on your therapeutic journey.  Every person has different values, beliefs and circumstantial differences that makes them the person they are, with this understanding  I work holistically to understand the whole person I am working with. 

I am based in Alltwen, South Wales, which has easy access to the surrounding areas of Pontardawe, Ystradgynlais, Skewen, Neath, Clydach, Glais,  Morriston, etcetera and is within 15 minutes of the M4.  I have my own private and confidential, dedicated counselling space that offers easy access and private parking for clients. I offer our sessions to be carried out via face to face, telephone, online video/call and text/email sessions. 

Initial Assessment (30 mins) 

This session is to be completed before any full session of counselling takes place. This is a way of you getting to know me, the way that I work and to see if I am the right counsellor for you. We can discuss expectations of our sessions and any concerns you may have. A copy of the counselling contract will be provided as well as information collected about yourself that is kept in line with GDPR.
