Recent reviews
I’ve been working with Lyn for a wee while now, and I’m genuinely grateful for the guidance and support I’ve received. She truly creates a safe, non-judgmental space that allows for honest conversations and self-reflection. I love her way of listening and asking the right questions that help me see things from a new perspective. She also provides with loads of interesting and relevant material to read for content if you want to. What I appreciate most is her ability to offer insights that are truly empowering, rather than simply giving advice. It's clear that Lyn truly cares about their clients’ well-being. I always leave our sessions feeling heard, respected, and more equipped to handle whatever comes my way.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

We've only just began a couple of weeks ago, but I'm already grateful for Lyn's warmth and support. She really makes me believe there's actual how for me to become the real, better version of myself that I always doubted to be.
Lyn has a wide array of life experience and medical and psychological experience. For me it is important to find a therapist who has a deeper understanding of my medical issues. She is also willing to keep an open mind, while simultaneously challenges me when I need it.
She is amazing! Very empathetic!
Incredibly helpful. Not just for the immediate challenges I faced, but for my whole future life.
Lyn is the best. Having been to counselors before, no one has understood me as much, and been as useful to me as Lyn. I appreciate her help so much , she continues to provide so much value for me to grow healthier each day. Her heart is truly in this work and that what makes her so great at her job
Lyn’s vast knowledge and experience enabled her to assess my issues and challenges very quickly. Lyn gained my trust very early on in our first session , and she has shared so much information with me, about how and why things happen, which has all made perfect sense, with many “lightbulb” moments. I highly recommend Lyn
She is very empathetic, kind, and caring.
I have had different kinds of therapy in my life. But Lyn is absolutely the best. A combination of her broad experience, intellectual insight and the soft approach where she can be very confrontational. This already changed my life significantly. And I’m very thankful.
Lyn is a very experienced therapist that does not only understand the areas you want to work on but pin-points exactly what the areas of attention are. She gives concrete and actionable recommendations on how to work in the points of therapy. Lyn has helped me seeing things from a different perspective which has greatly help me improve the points I want to work on. I can recommend Lyn 100%.
Lyn is the best and I think she can help me.
Lyn has a phenomenal way of making you feel safe and heard. I felt at ease from the first time we spoke. Lyn has helped me realise so many things about myself and has helped me immensely. I highly recommend Lyn, she is absolutely fabulous.
It helped me a lot in my extremely difficult situation and she had always right
Lyn is fantastic, she listens and understands me very well - and her support is always perfect: exactly what I need. She’s been a blessing to me and has made a huge impact on me and my life. Lyn is very special, I am grateful for her time and help.
