About Lindsey
Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She holds BACP registration and works from a practical, down-to-earth perspective. Lindsey has a long history working with adults, couples and groups, and brings experience from therapeutic work in custodial settings and earlier roles in prison services.
Her day-to-day approach focuses on helping people find steadier routines and clearer ways of relating to others. She often supports people dealing with relationship strain, ADHD and the effects of being in difficult partnerships. Lindsey also helps with trauma, grief, low self-esteem, motivation and problems connected to eating, sleep and anger.
In sessions she aims to listen carefully and help people notice what is getting in the way of change. Lindsey uses a mix of methods to suit each person, including approaches that look at thoughts and values, early patterns of attachment, and processing difficult memories. She works at a measured pace and adapts tools to fit someone’s life and priorities.
Her background includes several years supporting people in a therapeutic community in prison and prior service as a prison officer. That experience informs a practical, non-judgemental style and a focus on safety and structure. Lindsey encourages small, steady steps and practical strategies that can be used between sessions.
Taking the first step to ask for help can feel hard. Lindsey aims to make the early sessions straightforward and hopeful, helping each person build on their strengths and move toward clearer routines, better sleep and improved relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps even when feelings are difficult. It can help with low motivation, anxiety and establishing routines that support better sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current partnerships and trust, which can be useful for intimacy issues and recurring relationship conflict. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional charge, often used for trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsey will work collaboratively to identify which methods feel most helpful for the individual’s goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the focus of sessions.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping momentum between appointments.
