THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING
A calm, supportive space with Lyndsey Knowles
Qualified Therapeutic Counsellor
Lyndsey offers warm, individual counselling for adults, parents and carers who want a safe, non-judgemental space to feel heard, understood and supported through life’s challenges.
Warm • Safe • Non-judgemental
Support shaped around the person — not a one-size-fits-all model.
MEET LYNDSEY KNOWLES
Experience in education. A counselling approach centred on you.
Before retraining as a therapeutic counsellor, Lyndsey spent almost 20 years working in education. That background gives her a grounded understanding of the pressures that can surround learning, family life, work and wellbeing.
Lyndsey works from a pluralistic approach, tailoring each session to the individual and drawing on a range of evidence-based techniques.
Alongside her professional experience, Lyndsey’s lived experience as the parent of a neurodivergent young person gives her particular understanding of the challenges that can be faced by adults, parents, carers and educators navigating neurodivergence, relationships, work and emotional wellbeing.
A space to be heard — without judgement.
Counselling can create time to slow things down, explore what is happening and find a way forward that feels manageable and personal.
HOW LYNDSEY CAN SUPPORT YOU
Support for the things that can feel difficult to carry alone
Sessions are tailored to the individual. The focus may be on one area or a combination of challenges that are affecting everyday life.
Anxiety & Stress
A calm space to explore worry, overwhelm and the pressures that may be affecting day-to-day life.
Neurodivergence & Family Life
Understanding support for adults, parents, carers and educators navigating neurodivergence and its impact on family or working life.
Emotional Wellbeing
Space to explore emotions, relationships, patterns, confidence and the things that may be affecting how you feel.
Life Transitions
Support through change — including shifts in relationships, work, parenting pressures, identity and new stages of life.
A PLURALISTIC APPROACH
Different people need different things
Lyndsey does not work from a single fixed model. Instead, she can draw on different therapeutic approaches and adapt the work to what feels most useful for you.
The aim is to create a collaborative, person-centred experience where the pace, focus and style of support reflect the individual.
