Lynne Barker-Privalova

I work with a lot of shift workers, so can be flexible in my hours. I do not work evenings. 

As an integrative therapist I take the view that there are as many different approaches towards working with clients as there are clients who come to therapy.

You speak, I listen

In order to work well together, I have to be able to consider your strengths, your difficulties, where you came from, where you are now, and where you want to be.

I do this by creating a confidential, safe therapeutic space where you can slow down, unravel your thoughts and breathe. I listen carefully as you work through your inner thoughts and feelings at your own pace…

You understand

…but it’s not only me listening. It’s also you listening to yourself.

As you hear yourself working your way through your experiences and thoughts, I am gradually integrating techniques from a variety of therapies to allow both our understandings of your situation to grow. Gently intervening in your thought process, I can help towards increasing your ability to deal with issues you are grappling with…

We resolve

Viewing your life from different angles, you can begin to develop insights that will free up decision-making, and unlock potential, in your personal life and at work.

Our sessions can be hard work and even feel quite strange to begin with, but underpinning our work is a strong and trusting working relationship. We operate as a team towards a common goal; aiming to transform your issues from an obstacle or weakness into the rock of experience that you stand on.

I am a BACP qualified/licensed practitioner with over 10 years extensive experience in the field of therapy and mental health, both abroad and in the UK.

I have moved most of my practice to online. Experience has shown that this does not detract from the close relationship between me and my clients. It also allows you to stay in the familiar comfort of your own home and makes working hours more flexible.

My introductory session is free and is held online or on the phone. Although I do not like to put a time limit on it, it is generally significantly shorter than a full session, giving you the opportunity to share what it is you would like to cover and for us to see if we could work well together.
