Background and approach
Lindsey is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP, and she draws on ten years of counselling experience. That work spans public, charitable and voluntary services where she supported people facing loss, addiction and relationship concerns. Prior to counselling roles she spent over 20 years working in education in teaching and family support roles.
Her approach blends different methods to suit each person. Techniques from cognitive behavioural work and solution-focused practice are used alongside attachment-aware conversations and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas. The aim is to find what helps a person feel steadier and more able to make changes.
Sessions offer a straightforward, reliable space to talk through difficult feelings and plan next steps. Lindsey helps people make sense of painful patterns and try practical alternatives. She encourages realistic goals and small, manageable changes that can build over time.

Approaches that guide online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life direction.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of responding, which is useful for panic, anxiety and low mood.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Talking about these patterns can make it easier to change how someone reacts in close relationships and at work.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will talk through the options and agree a plan based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions can be flexible to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit times with lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people attend therapy from different locations and make it easier to fit sessions into work, parenting or study schedules.
