About Lyndsay
Lyndsay Macaulay is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports adults with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and other life challenges. She works in a calm, accepting way so people can talk openly about what they are facing. Her practice focuses on helping clients make sense of thoughts and feelings without pressure or judgement.
Her approach is person-centred, which means the client sets the pace and direction of the work. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, often called CBT, and hypnotherapy alongside that person-led approach. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and help clients spot unhelpful patterns.
People come to Lyndsay for many reasons, including burnout, low mood, relationship and family concerns, identity questions, and issues linked to neurodivergence. Sleeping and eating difficulties are also within her areas of focus. She emphasises a steady, collaborative style so clients feel heard while they work through change.
Lyndsay has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is part of how she connects to professional practice in the UK.
If someone wants to explore working together, Lyndsay offers a space to reflect, build coping skills, and take small steps towards clearer thinking and better rest. She encourages people to start at a pace that feels manageable.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Person-centred counselling puts the client in control of pace and topics. It means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and understood. This approach suits people who need a gentle, client-led space to make sense of their feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is a practical way to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It often includes simple exercises and short experiments to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.
Hypnotherapy is used to help people access calm states and shift patterns that feel stuck. It can be helpful for stress, sleep issues and building new coping habits when combined with talk therapy.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online work helpful because it fits around daily life, reduces travel time and allows for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to keep a regular routine while working on sleep, stress and coping skills.
