Lindsey Wheeler, BACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with ten years of experience who practises in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and works with adults on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, self‑esteem and a range of behavioural concerns. Lindsey focuses on practical help and steady support for people facing painful life changes.

She has a history of working in challenging settings and brings that perspective into sessions. Lindsey helps people who are navigating ADHD-related relationship issues, patterns of narcissism and scapegoating, and the fallout from abuse or bullying. She aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on the problems people bring.

Her approach balances short-term tools and deeper exploration. Lindsey uses methods that increase emotional awareness and improve day-to-day coping. She also works with people managing addictions, bipolar mood difficulties, sleep and eating problems, and chronic health challenges.

Sessions often look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Lindsey helps clients spot unhelpful cycles and try different ways of relating. She pays attention to strengths and builds small, achievable goals so progress feels manageable.

People can expect direct yet compassionate conversation. Lindsey supports those struggling with career pressures, parenting stress, caregiver burden, illness-related strain and communication breakdowns. Her aim is to help clients find clearer choices and greater stability.

To begin, Lindsey asks people to think about what they most want to change and brings practical strategies into each session. She encourages steady steps rather than quick fixes, and works collaboratively to tailor support around each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Lindsey uses several approaches that focus on values, relationships and processing difficult memories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values, which can help when life feels stuck. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma‑focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey will work with clients to identify goals, try different techniques and adjust the focus as therapy progresses. She encourages clients to give feedback so sessions match their needs and comfort levels.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check‑ins. Live chat and text messaging provide a lower‑intensity way to share thoughts between sessions or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit support around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
