About me

Hi, I'm Lindsey. The body often knows before we find the words. I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist and former trainer, whose humanistic work is grounded in compassion, genuineness, and trust.

I work with adults, young people, couples and groups who may be struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, low self-esteem, 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.

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 a chance to understand these experiences and their ongoing influence, and to develop greater awareness and choice in how we live. Within our relationship, we can also get to know different parts of you, even conflicting ones.

Alongside talking therapy indoors, I offer walk-and-talk sessions in natural outdoor settings, drawing on ecotherapy, for those who find movement and connection with nature supportive to reflection and wellbeing. For many people, walking side-by-side makes it easier to think, feel and talk 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 us notice experience without becoming overwhelmed by it, making room for long-held feelings.

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.
