Welcome to Lyn Towl Counselling, where care, compassion and over two decades of experience come together to support adults facing life’s most difficult challenges. Led by myself, a professional counsellor with a deep-rooted background in social care, my service offers specialist counselling for vulnerable adults, isolated individuals, carers, and the wider adult population.
With 30 years of experience as both a support worker and a care home owner, I bring a rare depth of understanding to the emotional and mental health struggles faced by adults who are often overlooked, including those confined to their homes, living with chronic health conditions, feeling isolated, or taking on the emotional weight of caring for others.
As a counsellor based in Barnstaple, I specialise in providing 1-to-1 counselling for individuals in the local area. I am passionate about creating a supportive, confidential space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to work through whatever you may be experiencing.


Support and growth
With a career spanning over 30 years in the health and social care sector, I have worked at the frontline of adult wellbeing offering emotional, physical, and practical support to some of the most vulnerable members of our communities. My time as a care home owner allowed me to create safe, nurturing environments where both residents and carers were supported holistically.
This unique combination of professional counselling expertise and hands-on care experience allows me to provide emotionally intelligent, deeply personalised counselling that genuinely connects with the needs of her clients.

Whilst I was going through one of the trickiest/hardest times of my life, not knowing what to do and
how to see a way through, Lyn helped me to unpick what felt like utter craziness in my mind. She
used different techniques like ‘drawing my thoughts’, which sounded ridiculous, but it really helped
me understand what I was actually thinking and feeling in order to find a way forward. I was in a
pure fog depression and constant fear, but Lyn helped me to see a way forward.
