About Lynn Buckley
Author and podcaster, I am a well-known Sexual and Relationship Therapist, COSRT accredited & UKCP registered psychotherapist, specialising in psychosexual therapy and relationship therapy.
My past experience includes 37 years of working in the NHS as an advanced specialist cancer nurse. I have extensively published and am an experienced speaker/educator, contributing on a national and international level to guide practice within my specialist fields of cancer and sexual issues.
I now combine my nursing and psychosexual therapy expertise working with individuals and couples with all aspects of sexual difficulties including issues with menopause, gender, sexuality, out of control sexual behaviour, trauma recovery and sexual rehabilitation following disease, in particular cancer.
I am a trauma informed therapist working with trauma response, PTSD and complex-PTSD as a result of single, repeated and multiple traumatic events using somatic / embodied therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Flash Technique and mindfulness.
My psychosexual therapy uses a bio-psychosocial approach, drawing on CBT, biomedical management, psychoeducation, attachment theory, and systemic couple therapy.
I provide an integrative approach to therapy, this includes psychological, physiological, sociological and relational frameworks, always adopting a GSRD/LGBTQA+ affirmative approach.
