About Lindsey
Lindsey Stafford is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. She also supports those coping with grief, anger, low self-esteem and parenting strains.

She works in an open and collaborative way, guided by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework. Sessions are warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on honesty and kindness. Lindsey aims to keep the person's best interests central in every conversation.
Her clinical work draws on several approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Solution-focused techniques are used to pick out practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Lindsey has a broad history of helping with addiction to alcohol and drugs, bereavement, relationship and family problems, and workplace stress. She also brings over 20 years of experience working in education, from classroom teaching to family-focused roles.
In practice she offers a calm, patient style and pays attention to each person's values and goals. People who want clear, compassionate support and practical tools to manage emotions often find this approach helpful.
How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It uses simple exercises to build action around values and can help with anxiety, depression and addictive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. It can help people understand family wounds and improve how they connect with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that match the person's needs and adjust as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. It also makes regular meetings simpler when balancing work, family and study commitments. Registered and accredited professionals often use similar techniques online as they do face to face, so the focus remains on practical steps and learning new ways of responding.
