Counselling & EMDR Therapy in Fareham — About Linnet
Whatever has brought you to this point — whether it is something that happened a long time ago that has never fully settled, a relationship that needs support, or anxiety and low mood that have been shaping your daily life — Linnet offers a space to work with it carefully and at your own pace.
Linnet is a qualified integrative counsellor and EMDR therapist based in Fareham, Hampshire, offering face-to-face sessions locally and online and telephone counselling across the UK. She holds an L5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, an L4 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, an Advanced Certificate in EMDR, and Family Systems Trauma Advanced Training. She is a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Linnet works with individuals, couples, and those preparing for marriage. She brings particular depth to trauma work — including birth trauma — supported by her Family Systems Trauma training and clinical experience. Her EMDR qualification gives her an additional evidence-based tool specifically for processing trauma and PTSD.
Background & Experience
Linnet’s practice spans both organisational settings and private practice — a breadth of clinical experience that informs her integrative approach and her ability to work with a wide range of presentations. Her Family Systems Trauma Advanced Training reflects a particular interest in how trauma operates within relational and generational contexts, and informs her work with birth trauma, intergenerational patterns, and the systemic dimensions of difficult experiences.
She has clinical experience working with neurodivergent clients — including those with ADHD and autism — and brings a thoughtful, adapted approach to sessions where this is relevant. Linnet maintains regular professional supervision and is committed to ongoing professional development.
Therapeutic Approaches
Linnet draws on four therapeutic frameworks, applying each according to what each individual client or couple needs.
Integrative Counselling
Linnet’s integrative approach combines Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and CBT frameworks — drawing from each according to what is most useful for the individual client rather than applying a fixed method. This flexibility is central to how she works. Integrative counselling Fareham and online Hampshire.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy with a strong research base for treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and phobias. It works by helping the brain process distressing memories that have become stuck — using bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements) while the client briefly focuses on a difficult memory. This process allows traumatic memories to be reconsolidated in a way that reduces their emotional charge and intrusiveness, without requiring the client to talk through the trauma in detail. Linnet holds an Advanced Certificate in EMDR. EMDR therapist Fareham · EMDR therapy Hampshire · EMDR for PTSD Fareham.
Family Systems Trauma Approach
Linnet’s Family Systems Trauma Advanced Training gives her a specific lens for understanding how trauma operates within relational and generational systems — how it is transmitted, how it shows up in present relationships, and how healing in one person can affect the wider system. This is particularly relevant in her work with birth trauma, complex relational trauma, and clients exploring intergenerational patterns. Family Systems Trauma counselling Fareham and online.
Psychotherapeutic Counselling
Linnet’s L4 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling provides an additional depth of psychotherapeutic training alongside her integrative and EMDR qualifications — supporting her work with longer-term, deeper exploratory therapeutic relationships where these are appropriate.
