Lindsey Hemmings, BACP

Lindsey Hemmings offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life changes. She helps those coping with grief, low self-esteem and depression to find clearer ways of managing day-to-day life. Lindsey uses straightforward conversation to help clients name what is happening and take small steps forward.

With 20 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Lindsey brings long practice working alongside people through painful transitions. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background gives her experience with a wide range of relationship and emotional problems, including attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and issues around trust and infidelity.

Lindsey draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at recurring patterns from past experience and how they show up now. Sessions aim to make those patterns easier to notice so different choices can be tried. She explains ideas plainly and helps clients link feelings to current behaviour.

Clients can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where feelings are explored at a comfortable pace. Lindsey focuses on listening first, then working together to set realistic goals and steps to reach them. She supports people wrestling with guilt, shame, isolation and questions of life purpose.

Practical concerns such as coping skills, managing anxiety, and rebuilding self-worth are woven into longer-term reflection. Lindsey also helps people process trauma, midlife change, and the strain that follows separation or divorce.

How psychodynamic work fits with online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. It helps people notice how early experiences shape current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for issues like attachment, abandonment, shame and repeated relationship difficulties.

Sessions tend to be reflective conversations where the counsellor and client track feelings and recurring themes together. This approach can support people working through grief, midlife questions, long-standing anxiety or difficulties with self-esteem by making patterns clearer and opening space for new choices.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt the approach as therapy unfolds. That means decisions about pace, focus and whether to blend reflective work with practical coping strategies are made together.

Online formats make this collaborative work more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions remove the need for a camera and can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help therapy fit around work, family life and travel, while keeping continuity of care even when circumstances change.
