About Lyn
Her practice includes work with both those directly affected by addictive disorders and family members seeking understanding and coping strategies. Over three decades she has developed experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including grief, intimacy and self-esteem issues, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and life transitions that can feel overwhelming.
Lyn holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates professional membership in a UK counselling and psychotherapy body. She aims to create an open and supportive space where taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life is recognized as an act of courage, and she partners with clients to support that process.

Client-Centered and Motivational Support Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual as the expert in their own life. In this approach the therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and attentive listening to help clients explore values, feelings, and personal goals. It is often helpful for people dealing with relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, grief, and life transitions.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people find their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and resolve ambivalence, making it useful for addictions, behavior change, and situations where confidence to change feels low.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Lyn Kirby and other registered professionals view therapy as a collaborative process - they will discuss options, try methods that fit a client’s needs and preferences, and adjust the plan together as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent ways to stay connected between longer sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining ongoing support.
