About Lindsay
Lindsay Westwood is a counsellor with a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and six years of practice. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and has built more than 2,000 hours of counselling experience. She brings a background in psychology, creative practice and tattooing to her therapeutic work.
Her approach centres on the person rather than techniques. She believes people have an innate drive for growth and the answers inside them. In sessions she listens, reflects and helps clients make unconscious patterns more visible so they can try new ways of living.
Lindsay has worked closely with young people and their families earlier in her career, and more recently supported people through grief during the pandemic. She has experience with trauma, adverse childhood experiences, sexual abuse, substance misuse effects in families, anger and online sexual risk.
She uses a mainly person-centred style while drawing on wider learning to fit each person’s needs. That may include psychoeducation about grief, mindful awareness practices, and work that looks at different parts of the self. She aims to be empathic, honest and clear in sessions.
Lindsay also runs inner child workshops and mindfulness practice groups that bring creativity and simple breathing tools into daily life. She helps people set realistic goals, learn practical coping strategies and regain confidence in their decisions.
How person-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and trusting the clients own ability to find answers. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what a person says, notices feelings and encourages exploration of choices and goals. This approach can help with stress, grief, relationship difficulties and many forms of emotional distress.Alongside a person-centred stance, Lindsay draws on mindful awareness and practical psychoeducation when useful. Mindfulness work involves simple breathing and body awareness tools that help people manage anxiety and sleep difficulties. Psychoeducation offers clear explanations about grief and trauma so people understand what they are experiencing.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then tailor sessions accordingly, checking in as work progresses. That means methods can be adjusted if something feels unhelpful or a different focus is needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use mindfulness practices and worksheets between sessions to support daily routines.
