About Lindsey

Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with BACP registration and around ten years of clinical experience. She began working with adults, couples and groups after completing her qualification in 2013. Lindsey has a long history supporting people in challenging settings, including several years in a therapeutic community within a prison and prior work as a prison officer.

Lindsey focuses on practical help for relationship struggles and complex relational patterns. She supports people affected by ADHD in themselves or in their partners, and helps those caught in narcissistic or scapegoating dynamics. Lindsey also works with trauma, sexual and domestic abuse, grief, low self-esteem and motivation, and challenges such as addictions and bipolar mood difficulties.

Her approach draws on a mix of methods to suit each person. Lindsey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and take meaningful action. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and uses client-centred talking to create a steady, listening space.

Clients can expect straightforward, calm sessions that focus on what matters to them. Lindsey aims to help people notice strengths and build manageable steps forward. She encourages honest conversation about difficult feelings while keeping goals practical.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Lindsey frames therapy as a shared process. She will work with each person to set goals and find ways to cope that fit their life and relationships.

How Lindsey blends therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, motivation problems and relationship decisions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and distance; it helps people understand why they react the way they do in relationships and try different approaches. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s pace; this approach aims to build trust and support people as they find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss options with each client, matching methods to their needs, goals and preferences. She encourages steady check-ins to see what is helping and what needs to change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, childcare or other commitments and avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed or to choose audio-only contact if video is difficult. The therapist’s profile does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm the current options with Lindsey before booking. Online sessions aim to make therapy easier to attend and to fit into everyday life.
