Private UK Based Talking Therapy for Adults by Video Call or Telephone
I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Dynamic Interpersonal Therapist (DIT). Through my time with the NHS and working privately, I have helped hundreds of clients battling with various common mental health difficulties, such as generalised anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, obsessive compulsive disorder and many others.
WHAT – During therapy, we often have to go ‘Beyond the Surface’ to reach a greater depth of understanding of ourselves and our problems to make healthy changes. At Beyond the Surface Therapy my role is to help you understand, and work through your mental health difficulties using evidence-based approaches. Allowing you to not just 'get by' or be 'ok', but to live in a way that you choose. Supporting you in making the decisions to take back control of your life.
WHY - You may be having negative and unhelpful thoughts that make work, interacting with others and being alone difficult. Perhaps you have anxiety, depression or unresolved trauma that is still impacting you. Your self-esteem and confidence may be suffering. Our difficulties can feel suffocating and overwhelming.
HOW – By using my experience and techniques which are informed by researched effective approaches, change is possible. In therapy sessions with me I will strive to help you:
- Increase your understanding of the factors that lead to and maintain your problems.
- Work towards having a more effective way of dealing with your mental health problems.
- Identify unhelpful/negative cycles of thinking, feeling and behaving
- Practice having a balanced perspective of your problems.
- Develop a healthier relationship with yourself.
- Continue your personal growth.
WHO - All therapy sessions are private and one-to-one with me, Sam Lynch MSc, BSc. We’ll speak over video call or on the phone. Video calls are flexible to fit around your schedule and have been shown to be as effective as face-to-face sessions.
WHEN – We can start now! Regardless of age, experience or history of mental illness. Just use the online booking system to find a time that suits you.

Video call or telephone appointments
We can meet via video call or telephone, however, video calls have advantages over telephone alone. These advantages include being able to see each other which can help with communication. Another is the ability to share the screen so we can both see any relevant information or diagrams we are working on.
