Nessreen Lyne, NCPS

Nessreen Lyne is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles and addiction. She offers practical support for everyday problems and helps people develop life skills to move towards a more fulfilling life. Nessreen approaches work with warmth and a belief that each person already has strengths to draw on.

In sessions she listens first and then helps clients find workable steps. Conversations may include looking at thoughts and behaviours, building emotional awareness, and practising new ways to cope. The goal is to make changes that fit a person’s life, not to push one fixed method.

Nessreen draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work to tailor help to each person. She also uses client-centred ideas to keep the focus on what matters to the individual and DBT skills when emotional regulation is needed.

Her experience spans a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma, grief, intimacy and identity matters, parenting strain, burnout and complex relationship dynamics. She works with issues linked to chronic illness, caregiving, body image and sexual diversity including kink and non-traditional relationships.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Nessreen describes therapy as a collaborative process where she supports and empowers people to try small changes and notice what helps. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with phobias, mood problems and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and can help people who struggle with trust, closeness or emotional regulation.

Choosing an approach is part of the work rather than a single decision up front. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. Progress is reviewed together and plans are adjusted if something is not helping.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or travel, reduce time spent travelling, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also means people can meet from different locations, which helps those living abroad or with busy schedules.
