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 have experience supporting clients with relationship and psychosexual issues, where an individual or partner is neurodivergent.
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, which includes psychological, physiological, sociological and relational frameworks, always adopting a GSRD/LGBTQIA+ affirmative approach.
