CONTACT ME BY EMAIL

Painful experiences can make us feel stuck in the present.

But you don't need to be defined by what happened to you.

While you can't change the past, it is possible to heal and grow.

Welcome

My name's Lynda Foster and I'm a counsellor and trauma therapist, helping clients to cope with the impacts of past wounds, heal, and move past them.

Common impacts of trauma include depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and more below. But these things aren't always trauma-related, so it's still possible to work with me!

As well as specialising in trauma therapy, I have personal understanding of how it feels to heal from it. And I would work with you to develop your self awareness, and process your experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does counselling work?

A: Successful counselling is built on a trusting and open relationship between client and counsellor. You need to feel comfortable enough with me to share your experiences and feelings, which could take a few sessions.


Counselling does not work in the same way for everyone, but I’ll work with you to determine your needs and priorities.

Q: Can I be honest with you?

A: It’s important to be as honest as you can about your feelings and experiences both positive and negative. But you need to be confident that what we discuss is confidential. As a member of BACP I’m bound by their Ethical Framework to protect your confidentiality.

Q: Do I need counselling every week?

A: To build a relationship which makes it comfortable for you to share your feelings and experiences, it makes sense to meet weekly. But as flexibility might be important to you, it's possible move sessions around if I have availability.

Q: When would my appointment time be?

A: I usually plan consistent timeslots each week and aim to give you the same appointment time/day each week, which is yours for as long as you continue sessions. But if you need more flexibility due to different work patterns etc. that's usually possible.

Q: How do I find you?

A: My home-based private counselling room is in Long Eaton, Nottingham NG10. It's on a major bus route approx.20mins from Nottingham city centre (Skylink and Indigo). If travelling via the M1, take junction 25.

Alternatively we could work together online.

Q: How many counselling sessions might I need?

A: This is difficult to determine in advance as every client has unique needs. If you would like a set number of sessions you can let me know. Alternatively, we can take an open-ended approach with regular progress reviews.

Q: What happens in the first counselling session?

A: In the first session, I would address any questions you have about counselling/psychotherapy and gather information to allow me to get a sense of why you came to counselling, including what you want and need from it.
