Lindsay Welton, BACP

Lindsay Welton helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also supports people struggling with addictions, relationship or intimacy issues, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting challenges, anger and career concerns. Lindsay uses simple, direct language and aims to make the first step feel possible for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

She works in a warm, non-judgemental way. Sessions focus on listening carefully, helping people name their main concerns, and finding practical next steps. Lindsay aims to make problems easier to talk about and to break big issues into manageable parts.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of acting. Mindfulness and psychodynamic approaches are woven in where they help people notice patterns and build self-awareness.

Lindsay has 12 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That background informs a steady, thoughtful approach to therapy and ongoing professional learning.

Sessions are delivered online in ways that suit the person. Lindsay aims to work at a pace someone finds comfortable and to help them develop clearer ways to cope. Many clients come away with clearer choices and more confidence to manage day-to-day challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of relating. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and why certain situations feel triggering. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments to change mood and behaviour. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can be useful for anxiety and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Lindsay will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant to what someone wants to change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have a face-to-face style check-in. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, people who find writing easier, or those who need flexible timing. These options aim to make counselling more accessible and fit around daily life.
