About Lindsey

Lindsey Wheeler is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works with adults who are facing relationship strain, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD concerns, addictions and blended family issues. Lindsey also notes experience with eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and career pressures.

She began her career in custodial settings, including time supporting people in a therapeutic community. That background shaped a practical approach to emotional and behavioural difficulties. Lindsey has worked with adults in individual and group settings and draws on that experience when planning sessions.

Her style is straightforward and conversational. Lindsey helps people name what is happening, look at patterns, and try small changes that can make daily life easier. She pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics when relationships and parenting cause strain.

Lindsey uses several therapy approaches to guide work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, EMDR for trauma, and psychodynamic thinking. She will discuss which approaches make sense for the issue and the person.

People contact her about problems tied to past abuse, bullying or loss, difficulties around commitment and intimacy, or complicated family structures such as blended households. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress and the emotional effects of cancer.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and can then book an initial session. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people outside the UK.

Therapeutic approaches Lindsey uses online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low motivation and problems that come from getting stuck in avoidance.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how earlier relationship patterns affect current bonds. It can help when trust, closeness or loyalty feel difficult in a partnership or blended household.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories. It is commonly chosen when past abuse or shocking events continue to cause strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will talk with the person about goals, history and preferences and suggest which methods to try. The plan can change over time based on what helps.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used for online work. Before booking, check which formats are currently available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid having to be on camera for every session. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to focus on relationship dynamics, trauma processing or day-to-day parenting and step-parenting concerns.
