Lynette Willet
I believe therapy gives people a regular and confidential space to talk about their worries, problems, or a chance to explore more about themselves; to gain a new or different perspective. This can lead to positive and proactive changes in how they feel about themselves, their relationships, as well as future-proofing their thinking and behaviour.
I am a qualified and UKCP accredited Child Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I am also completing a Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy with adults at TACT (Therapy & Counselling Teesside). I have over 150 hours working with adults and over 450 fifty with children and families. I work with the following presenting issues: anxiety and low self-esteem, complex-trauma, sexual abuse, bereavement and loss, self-harm, domestic violence, family, and relational issues, eating disorders, depression and more. I integrated therapies, use a relational model, and believe that a good rapport with my clients is vital for growth.
I work from the TACT Redcar and Norton offices as well as online.
Hi, I’m Michelle, I’m a UKCP accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor for children and young people. Life is not straightforward, not always easy, we can often feel ‘off track’ or not ‘ourselves’ making our everyday living difficult and/or challenging. Sometimes we can find ourselves searching for something or someone who may be able to help us gently back on the path we want to explore. I believe that in each of us there lives hope, what it needs to thrive is nurture; a supportive other who may be able to offer a different perspective of how things are and how they can change for the better. I hope to offer you and your child that different experience, one set in a safe and confidential environment. With extensive experience of working with young people, in a wide range of roles, for more than 25 years, I am passionate about supporting young people through difficult times. Allowing them to grow and flourish in an accepting and containing relationship. I extend a warm welcome to you and your child no matter the problem or issue.
I am also in the final year of my adult integrative psychotherapy diploma and am therefore able to provide lower cost sessions to adults.
Lynette is qualified Psychotherapist after completing our Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy,
and she works form both the Redcar and Norton offices and works with a variety of issues from facilitating self-esteem and personal growth to issues such as stress and anxiety.
