Changeworks is an independent, specialist service offering Family and Systemic Psychotherapy, Social Work Services and Learning and Development Consultancy.

Hello, my name is Lynsey Waterhouse. I started my company Changeworks in June 2007. I wanted to use my wide range of skills and experiences, gained in Statutory and Voluntary Social Care organisations to develop innovative and bespoke services for families, professionals and organisations. I am particularly committed to and have significant experience in direct interventions with families and children where there are issues connected with child disability and illness, palliative care and bereavement and responding to the needs of professionals and organisations that also work with these complex issues.

Changeworks supports:

  • Developing opportunities for families to communicate together about their lives
  • Promoting the helpful capacity of the relationships between family members

As a Family and Systemic Psychotherapist and Social Worker I am curious to understand and support the changing needs of all families, couples and individuals if they experience stress or difficulties in their lives. The importance and value of personal relationships to people at times of enjoyment and times of difficulty can be helpful to acknowledge in therapeutic interventions and can be vital in the achievement of emotional wellbeing. I believe by considering family relationships and including family members when exploring issues or behaviours, can reduce the divide that can be felt during difficult times.

Changeworks is based in Chichester, West Sussex. I accept referrals direct from members of the public, along with individual professionals and organisations. I work within the counties of West Sussex, Hampshire and Dorset and have developed working relationships with organisations in London. I am registered with UKCP and GSCC, I am also a member of BASW and AFT.
