About me

Hi, I'm Lindsey. I am a trauma-informed counsellor and psychotherapist whose work is grounded in compassion, genuineness, and trust. Alongside therapy in the counselling room, I offer walk-and-talk therapy in natural outdoor settings, integrating insights from ecotherapy, mindfulness and trauma-informed practice.

I work with adults, young people, couples and groups who may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, loss, trauma, life transitions, or a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected.

My approach is shaped by the understanding that people do not exist in isolation. Our experiences, relationships, environments and life histories influence how we see ourselves and respond to the world. Many of the difficulties people experience today can be understood as adaptations to what they have lived through rather than evidence that something is wrong with them.

As a trauma-informed practitioner, I recognise the impact that adversity, loss, overwhelming experiences and relational wounds can have on our emotional wellbeing, sense of self and relationships. Therapy offers an opportunity to understand these experiences, explore their ongoing influence, and develop greater awareness and choice in how we live.

Alongside traditional talking therapy, I offer walk-and-talk sessions for those who find movement and connection with nature supportive to reflection and wellbeing. For many people, walking side-by-side creates a different therapeutic experience, providing space to think, feel and talk in a way that can feel more natural than sitting in a therapy room.

My work is further informed by mindfulness and meditation training, supporting awareness of thoughts, emotions, bodily responses and patterns of relating. Where appropriate, mindfulness can help develop a greater capacity to notice experience without becoming overwhelmed by it.

I have over a decade of counselling experience and previously spent seven years training counsellors and helping professionals. This background continues to inform my practice, bringing together therapeutic knowledge, critical reflection and a commitment to understanding each person's unique experience.

Whether you are seeking support for a specific difficulty or looking to understand yourself more deeply, I aim to provide a thoughtful, collaborative and compassionate space in which meaningful exploration and change can take place.
