How Lindsay’s approaches work online

Lindsay draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make sessions feel accepting and non-judgemental. This approach focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions, which can suit emotional issues like grief or low self-esteem.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. CBT helps with stress, anxiety, panic and obsessive-compulsive symptoms by teaching practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lindsay will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods as progress is made. This is a collaborative process based on needs, goals and personal preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are helpful when visual cues matter, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to attend alongside family and work commitments.
