Lynne Campbell-Gillies Durban Psychologist
.

I have counselled for several organizations including the Depression and Anxiety Support Group, Headway (for brain injured individuals), and the Martindale Counselling Centre in Johannesburg building up a wealth of experience in many areas of human problems including trauma counselling, bereavement, marriage guidance, career guidance, sexual identity problems, dealing with traumatic brain injured individuals and their families, HIV-AIDS counselling, living with cancer, and many more.

My doctorate, D. Litt et Phil (Psychology), was obtained from the University of Johannesburg. My thesis was entitled: The Effect of Guided Imagery and Relaxation on Patients Receiving treatment for Non-metastatic Cancer. This study enabled me to work with many inspiring individuals using a very effective tool, namely, ‘guided imagery’ to help people manage the side-effects of their cancer treatment.

Over the last twenty years I have been in private practice in my hometown, Kloof, KZN where my focus and strong interest has been helping adult individuals and couples who are struggling to deal with difficulties in their relationships, juggling the daily stressors of life whether this is through unfortunate life events (death, trauma, illness) or simply stressful lifestyles; as well as helping individuals who simply wish to live their best lives and invest time and energy in achieving certain life goals.

PHILOSOPHY UNDERLYING MY COUNSELLING & LIFE COACHING PRACTICE

.
.

I believe very much in the power of the human spirit! Despite the curved balls that are thrown to us we are immensely creative and resilient. With the right skills, we can approach life more calmly and proactively.

We owe it to ourselves and those around us to live life to the full and experience abundance and joy. Unfortunately, ‘life happens’ and apart from external and seemingly arbitrary events setting us back, we may also sabotage ourselves with limiting beliefs. Becoming aware of negative thinking patterns and developing adaptive and life-affirming attitudes empowers us to live our best lives.

I offer my clients a containing, compassionate yet motivational environment to resolve their difficulties and move forward with a greater sense of meaning and purpose.

Pick Harmony Over Agony

Someone who has good emotional self-regulation has the ability to keep their emotions in check. They can resist impulsive behaviors that might worsen their situation, and they can cheer themselves up when they’re feeling down.

Feedback

Thank you for all the patience you gave me as I slowly rediscovered myself. I have learned a lot during this time.

Thank you for all you have taught me. Your work has proved to me that psychology in practice can and really does make a difference in people’s lives, and mine in particular

Lynne has shown our family great support.

From the moment I met Lynne, she put me at ease and I felt completely comfortable sharing anything with her. Lynne is incredibly empathetic and insightful and was able to help me find the answers I needed to help myself. Lynne has a knack for making sense of your confused thinking and feelings and putting things into perspective. Even though I no longer see her regularly, when I’m troubled with something, I’ll still make an appointment to see her just to touch base, to re-centre my thoughts and to find a bit of clarity. She’s an incredible counselling psychologist that I would recommend to anyone.
