Before counselling she spent over 20 years working in education, in roles from classroom teaching to family practitioner work. That background informs how she explains ideas and supports parents and young adults through practical challenges.
Lindsey is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy as a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. She follows the BACP Ethical Framework in her work and draws on experience across several sectors when planning a programme of support.
People who choose her can expect structured sessions that emphasise noticing patterns, trying different responses and tracking small changes over time.
How Lindsey uses CBT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Lindsey works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, panic and some workplace or parenting stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take practical actions in line with those priorities. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current responses, which can be helpful for issues like abandonment and codependency.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Lindsey will discuss what feels most useful based on a person’s goals and preferences and may combine techniques to suit the presenting problem. The plan is reviewed as progress is tracked.
