Lynsey Byrom Clinical Psychology

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years experience. My approach is compassionate & supportive. I aim to teach you effective skills to handle your distress while creating a life that is meaningful to you.

Life presents challenges and sometimes we struggle to overcome them. Sometimes we need that extra source of support and guidance to help us when we’re feeling overwhelmed.

I’d like to help you learn new ways of responding to life’s challenges; to free you from your old restrictive patterns that leave you feeling stuck. I bring over 10 years experience helping clients achieve their therapy goals and proven knowledge and skills in clinical psychology.

My approach is gentle, compassionate, and supportive. I aim to help you create a life that is meaningful and with awareness of what is truly important to you while also effectively handling the pain and distress that you are currently struggling with.
