Access Counselling, Counselling Education & Supervision Services.

My Story

I am Lynne Learmonth, a qualified counsellor who graduated from Nottingham University with a post graduate advanced diploma in counselling in 1993. I have since worked for the r**e crisis group and within the women's centre in Derby and also for Burton college as a counsellor, offering telephone, one to one and group counselling and progressed to undertake some play therapy and family systems training at the Derby sexual abuse unit. Having had a private practice for several years as an independent counsellor and supervisor, I have taught counselling in various centres in Derby and Derbyshire from basic skills right through to Diploma. I have also taught in colleges, universities and for private training organisations, enabling others to become qualified counsellors in their own right. I have written a whole programme of counselling training myself and had those courses approved and accredited through the Open College Network and then delivered and managed them on a self employed basis. Since then my courses are online through Udemy.com and I have written several pocetbook learning manuals which are available through Lulupress and Amazon. Now returning to teach in adult education after several years as a special needs teacher, I am keen to grow my client base once again, and to offer group training and/or supervision to those who require input to improve listening skills, understand counselling theories and/or develop personal awareness. Available to supervise existing practitioners and students in training, I am available to work weekdays and some evenings in any capacity which involves counselling, training or supervision services. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you in future.
