About Lindsey
Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has around 10 years' experience working with adults. She works with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, ADHD and addictions among other issues. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
Lindsey began her career working in custodial settings and therapeutic communities, including supporting people in prison. That background shaped her direct approach to practical problems and complex life situations. She has particular experience supporting people affected by difficult relationship dynamics, including narcissism and scapegoating.
In sessions she uses a mix of methods that fit the problem at hand. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small steps towards it. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas guide how she talks about close relationships and past hurts.
She also works with trauma-focused methods, including eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, for people needing focused trauma work. Lindsey describes helping people with grief, sexual and domestic abuse, bullying, neglect, and the emotional fallout from those experiences.
Many people come to her with parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, anger or career concerns. She also supports those navigating long-term health problems, carer stress and issues related to neurodiversity. The emphasis is on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon.
To begin, Lindsey asks people to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. That lets her and the client agree priorities and decide which approaches to use together.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions. It is often used for anxiety, motivation and chronic stress by focusing on values and practical steps.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ones. It can help people understand repeated patterns in close relationships and improve communication and connection.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works through distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact. It is commonly used when trauma or abuse is a central concern.
Finding the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences and how the problem shows up in daily life. That discussion helps decide whether ACT, attachment work, EMDR or another method is the best fit.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or letting people choose quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and adapt approaches so sessions focus on useful steps for home and relationships.
