Mandy Lynch

“I can offer you a good listening ear. An emotionally warm, nurturing, safe, and secure place to be able to talk about what is happening to you, what is important to you, and what is concerning you that is keeping you “stuck” and not being able to move forward in your life. I am a fully qualified MSc Integrative Counsellor registered as a member of BACP, NCS and other governing bodies. I can offer you a genuine, non-judgemental attitude allowing you, perhaps for the first time, to express and explore your past, your present, your future, and who your true self is, or will be, without fear of shame. I will be by your side as you go on a journey of personal development. To hold your map when feeling lost whilst you try, but sometimes fail. I will be your therapy godmother.

I offer an extensive toolbox of counselling therapies and approaches including creative interventions to allow you a variety of different ways of working together to suit your unique and individual needs to allow you to “Learn to heal and re-parent inner past traumas to help release and embrace your true authentic self”.

Counselling is a process that requires sharing your internal world and carrying out an emotional dig that can take lots of hope and courage. It is so important to feel safe with the person to whom you can open up to, therefore it is important for you to know who I am and how I can help you to be Your Therapy Godmother during this process.

I have worked over the years with organisations such as the Psychiatric Liaison Team at Betsi Cadwaladr NHS Hospital; the Primary Care Mental Health Counselling Service (NHS), ICAN, Advance Brighter Futures and Cruse Bereavement and have gained experience in working with many people who have presented with an array of Mental Health and emotional issues.

What to expect from me......

A therapeutic room that offers confidentiality and safety for your story to be heard for the first time with respect and individuality.

I will help you to understand "Why this is happening to me?", "What has occurred in my world to cause this challenge?" and to make that choice of "Do I decide to face it and learn to deal with it?" or "Do I find a way to just close the door and walk away?"

To hear your hopes and understand your concerns about the work you are about to start to do in counselling and hypnotherapy.

To provide you with professional support as the counselling journey you undertake may be challenging but it can be moving and empowering.

My practice is very much client led, you are the expert of your own life and world and we will go on a journey together that will be unique to you.

It is your choice to what extent you would like to talk about what has happened to you and I offer you the choice to have content free hypnotherapy which means that we communicate directly with your subconscious who knows what has happened to you and information does not have to be disclosed to myself as your therapist.

I offer 1-hour therapy/counselling sessions face-to-face, online or on the telephone at £50.00 per session.

I offer short-term and long-term therapy/counselling sessions.

I offer up to 2 hours of hypnotherapy or EMDR sessions face-to-face or online for £95.00 per session.

I offer a free 20-minute introductory telephone call so that you can consider whether you would like to pursue counselling or hypnotherapy with me and provides time to look at how we might work together.

The length of the therapy, counselling, hypnotherapy and EMDR work can be discussed on an individual basis and can be regularly reviewed to be the most beneficial to you.
