About Me
Lynda Piears
FdSc in Counselling, MNCS (Accred)
I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist and work from my private practice in Alton near the town centre.
I work using an integrative and holistic approach, working with my clients’ experiences, feelings, emotions, and thoughts, offering a space where you can feel safe to explore your feelings and any issues that are troubling you and causing pain. I believe that by offering the right conditions of a comfortable, safe, trusting, caring, respectful relationship this helps to create the right conditions for the desired change and growth.
I offer therapy to individuals, couples and families that maybe experiencing difficulties in their life that may include bereavement, loss, grief, depression, abuse, trauma, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, parenting and communication difficulties.
I offer a free 20-minute phone call for an initial discussion so that you can see if you feel we might work well together. Please contact me either by phone, text, or email to make an appointment.
As a qualified therapist I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Service (NCS), I work to the ethical standards of the NCS to ensure a professional, ethical, and confidential service to all my clients. I am fully insured and registered with the Information Commissioners Office and am compliant with data protection and GDPR regulations.

Cypselae: noun [sipsi-li]
The tiny seeds attached to the fluffy ‘parachutes’ from the seed head or ‘faceclock’ of the dandelion.
The cypselae are dispersed by the wind and remain viable for many years.
When the conditions are right, when there is enough fertile soil, enough water and light, the seeds will germinate and grow another plant.
