Who we are..
James Lewis
Psychodynamic, CBT, Integrative Counsellor, Supervisor. IEMT Practitioner. Mental Health Nurse.
I am a dedicated and experienced counsellor specialising in Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Integrative approaches. My diverse skill set allows me to tailor therapeutic interventions to meet the unique needs of each client, fostering self-awareness, emotional resilience, and personal growth.
As a supervisor, I support fellow counsellors in their professional development, offering guidance and reflective spaces to enhance their practice and maintain ethical standards. My supervision style emphasises collaboration, encouragement, and maintaining a focus on client welfare.
In addition, I am a certified Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) practitioner, using this innovative modality to help clients resolve trauma, address limiting beliefs, and achieve lasting emotional change.
As a counselling tutor, I am passionate about sharing knowledge and nurturing the next generation of therapeutic professionals. I bring a wealth of practical experience and theoretical insight to my teaching, ensuring students are well-equipped for their roles in the counselling field.
Through my work, I remain committed to empowering individuals, promoting well-being, and contributing to the growth of the counselling profession.
Wendy Lewis
Practice Manager, Student Co-ordinator
Hello, I’m Wendy, the practice manager here at Linking Pathways. I look after the smooth running of the practice, from supporting our students and counselling clients to keeping track of the finances that keep everything flowing.
As well as my role here, I’m a SEN mum of three wonderful children and James’ wife. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of resilience, compassion, and the importance of creating a supportive community — values that I bring into my work every day.
Whether you’re a client, a student, or part of our wider network, I’m here to help make your journey with Linking Pathways as welcoming and stress-free as possible.
Lindsey Jackson
Clinical Hypnotherapist, Integrative Adult and Child Counsellor, IEMT Practitioner, Somatic Trauma Informed Therapist.
I am a Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist and Counsellor at Linking Pathways. I am a registered member of the Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (APHP) and an accredited registrant member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), membership number: NCS23-01026.
As a mother of three, including a child with Special Educational Needs (SEN), I understand firsthand how overwhelming life can be and the anxiety that often comes with it. Alongside my colleague Wendy, I co-founded the SEN Support Group to offer a safe and welcoming space for local parents and carers to connect, share experiences, and receive support.
Before retraining as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, I spent many years working with children in care settings. I also trained with Place2Be as a school-based counsellor, an experience I greatly enjoyed and which enhanced my skills in play-based therapy.
Most recently, I’ve joined James in a tutoring role, supporting students and trainees as they develop their knowledge and confidence in the field of counselling. I’m passionate about contributing to the next generation of practitioners and helping others grow both professionally and personally.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centred. I provide a calm and supportive environment where clients can safely explore the emotional and behavioural patterns they wish to change. Through psychoeducation and neuroscience, we work together to better understand the brain. body and nervous system, empowering lasting change and promoting a more peaceful, fulfilling life.
