Person-Centred Counselling in Stirling & Online.

The Empathic Therapist

Your wellbeing matters - take the first step towards positive change

Welcome to The Empathic Therapist

I’m Lynn Guthrie, a registered BACP therapist, and I offer counselling in a calm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever is weighing on you. I work with adults across the UK and internationally, offering online counselling via Zoom, alongside in-person sessions in Stirling city centre.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, or a significant life change, counselling offers a confidential space where you can talk openly about your thoughts and feelings. If you’re grieving — whether that’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a life you once imagined — our sessions give you time to gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface, make sense of your experiences, and find ways of coping that feel supportive and right for you.

How Counselling Can Help

Counselling offers you time and space to explore your inner world and make sense of your experiences in a way that feels safe and supported. In our sessions, you’re invited to gently untangle complex emotions, reflect on patterns that may be affecting you, and gain new perspectives at your own pace.

Many people find that, over time, counselling helps them feel more connected to themselves and more able to navigate relationships and everyday life with greater understanding and self-compassion.

My Areas of Expertise

My work supports adults through a range of life experiences, including mental health difficulties, grief, loss, and periods of significant change. I have a particular focus on grief and bereavement, including the loss of a loved one, relationship endings, and the many identity shifts that can follow.

Alongside professional training, I bring both professional and personal understanding to this work. I also have experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse and individuals living with eating disorders, always working with care, sensitivity, and respect for each person’s story.

Working Together

Counselling with me is collaborative and person-centred, shaped around your needs and what feels most important for you. There’s no set agenda and no pressure to talk about anything before you’re ready. I offer online counselling sessions via Zoom for adults across the UK and internationally, as well as in-person sessions in Stirling city centre, providing a calm, supportive space where you can speak openly and be met with care, respect, and understanding.

How I Work

My work is shaped around you — your pace, your needs, and what feels right in each session. I work collaboratively and with care, offering a calm and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings in your own way. Where it feels helpful, I may gently draw on different ways of working to support reflection and understanding, always guided by what feels safe and appropriate for you. The relationship comes first, and everything else grows from there.

Wellness At Work

I also offer counselling support for workplaces, with a focus on employee wellbeing, stress, and mental health. This support is designed to offer employees a confidential space to talk, reflect, and feel supported — both within the workplace and beyond it.

If you’re an organisation looking to support staff wellbeing in a thoughtful and compassionate way, workplace counselling options can be explored separately.
