Lyn | Counsellor - Relate relationship counsellor - sex therapist

Counselling Standon

My name is Lyn, I am a very experienced and fully qualified Relate relationship counsellor, sex therapist, supervisor and trainer. I welcome both individuals and couples for counselling in my practice.

I understand that the thought of approaching a counsellor/therapist for the first time can be quite daunting, but I hope that I can allay any anxieties you may have when you email me. My aim is to form a strong therapeutic alliance where you feel it is safe to discuss your issues in an atmosphere of warmth, respect and empathy.

Counselling for individuals and couples

Although my expertise is with couples, my relationship work enables me to work with individuals with issues causing them difficulties within different relationships. i.e. work, family, romantic, friendships and more.

I get particularly good feedback from individual clients when I have been working with them on lowering their anxiety, increasing their self esteem and when suffering from mild depression.

When working with couples my specialist areas include communication difficulties, affairs and infidelity, abuse, and the impact low self-esteem can have on many types of relationships. There might not be a specific issue, and is not unusual for me to hear I still love my partner, but I am no longer ‘in love’ with him/her.

Counselling tailored to you

I have many theories to choose from, such as psychodynamic counselling, systemic counselling, cognitive behavioural theory (CBT), transactional analysis, using active techniques etc. Rather than prescribe one to fit all, I like to adapt the work according to your needs and your own preferred learning styles. 

I have a discreet, dedicated, counselling room with parking immediately outside. My practice is situated close to the A10/A120 junction in Standon, East Hertfordshire, and within easy reach of Bishop’s Stortford, Buntingford, Ware, Harlow, Stevenage and surrounding areas.

If you would like to make an appointment or learn more, please send me a message.
