Lynn Esslemont
About the Therapist
Hello, I am Lynn (she/her), a psychotherapist in advanced clinical training. I work in-person with adults in the Aberdeen area, offering Transactional Analysis counselling and psychotherapy.
I completed my 4 years core training with Physis Training in Edinburgh (now Physis Scotland) and am now a EATA Contractual Trainee working towards my Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA) qualification and UKCP accreditation. I am fully insured to work therapeutically with adults and am a registered member of UKATA, whose Code of Ethics I abide by.
I have worked in social care and education for over 30 years and started retraining in 2014 to be able to better support people in the mental health field. I am now a Psychotherapist in Advanced Clinical Training working towards CTA and UKCP accreditation. I am self-employed and run my own counselling and psychotherapy practice in Aberdeen City. I use the framework of Transactional Analysis to inform my practice while working relationally and collaboratively to help clients achieve change at a deep level. I offer a safe space for queer and neurodivergent adults without pathologising differences.

Transactional Analysis, or TA for short, is a therapeutic model for counselling and psychotherapy, originated by Eric Berne in the 1960's. TA has evolved in recent years, and the basic tenets remain the same. TA works with our Parent, Adult and Child Ego States and the Life Scripts we write for ourselves. Through counselling and psychotherapy, we can understand ourselves and our challenges using these models. We can begin to see how our thinking, behaviours and feelings, have been shaped by our life experiences, especially those in our younger years. We may also recognise the impact these ways of being have in the here and now. One of the aims of TA is to maintain an I'm OK, You're OK position, and counselling and psychotherapy are good opportunities to put this principle into practice.

In order to make therapy more accessible for everyone I work with a sliding scale up to £50 per session. This can be agreed during our initial conversation.
