Lynda Dorbin — BACP counsellor in Epping.
And why I do this work.

Hi, I’m Lynda.

Life experience has taught me that struggles can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Having faced my own challenges, I understand what it feels like to feel stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or trapped in situations that seem impossible to change. I know what it’s like to stay in a marriage out of fear, shame, and concern for those around you, and how emotional abuse can slowly erode your confidence and leave you questioning yourself.

As a counsellor, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and be truly heard. Whether you are struggling with relationships, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss, or simply feeling lost in life, I will work alongside you to help you make sense of your experiences, find your strengths, and create positive change. I am passionate about helping people feel better about themselves and supporting them to live happier, more fulfilling lives.

“Through counselling, I found my strength, my voice, and ultimately, my way out. Inspired by the impact counselling had on my own life, I knew I wanted to pay it forward.”

In addition to running my private practice as a person-centred counsellor in Epping, I’m proud to have been part of the Haven Survivors of Abuse network, where I offered support to survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. And to further hone my skills, I’ve trained at St Joseph’s Hospice, where I now serve as a member of the bereavement counselling team.

The satisfaction of helping others navigate through their own struggles is amazing. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it.

My Approach

Person-centred. At your pace. Always.

I work with the person-centred approach, which means our sessions are entirely focused on your needs, your experiences, and your agenda. I don’t bring a fixed script or a predetermined plan — I follow your lead.

Whether you want to explore past experiences, navigate something you’re going through right now, or simply have a space to think out loud — I’m here to listen, support, and walk alongside you.
