About Lynette
Lynette Guy is an ACA counsellor and PACFA member with 15 years of professional experience in Australia. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and depression. Lynette also works with concerns such as social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, and obsessive thoughts.
Lynette keeps her sessions straightforward and practical. She focuses on helping clients name what is happening and try small, manageable changes. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and everyday behaviours so people can test new ways of coping.
She pays close attention to relationship patterns, attachment concerns and issues that come from past hurt. These themes often show up in feelings of abandonment, guilt or shame. Lynette helps people notice those patterns and consider different choices in relationships and work.
The approach also addresses life transitions such as midlife questions, finding purpose, or coping with chronic illness and pain. People can bring concerns about mood disorders, workplace stress and womens issues. Sessions aim to be practical rather than theoretical.
Her experience includes working across anxiety presentations, trauma responses and addictive behaviours. Lynette asks clear questions and offers concrete strategies to try between sessions. To begin, she asks people to describe current difficulties and what they hope to change.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with different responses, which can reduce anxiety symptoms and worry about social situations. Behavioural techniques include gradual exposure and activity planning to help people face feared situations in small steps and build confidence over time.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. This collaborative way helps people try methods that match their pace and daily life needs.
