Lindsey Wheeler, BACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in mental health and therapeutic settings. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on supporting adults who face relationship struggles and life disruptions. Lindsey speaks English and sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally when appropriate.

She works plainly and directly in sessions. Lindsey helps people talk through relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem issues. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and career uncertainty. Her broader interests include chronic illness and caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, and complex relational patterns like scapegoating and narcissistic dynamics.

Lindsey draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She integrates acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and make small, workable changes. Attachment-oriented thinking is used to notice patterns in close relationships, while client-centred work keeps the person’s voice central in every session. She also has experience with trauma-focused methods and psychodynamic perspectives when they suit the client’s situation.

Her background includes long experience in custodial and therapeutic community settings, where she supported people through difficult transitions and behavioural change. That history shapes a straightforward, non-judgemental style and a focus on practical skills alongside reflection. Lindsey aims to help people find clearer choices and rebuild confidence after painful experiences.

Taking the first step can feel risky. Lindsey offers a calm, steady presence and works collaboratively to set goals that are realistic and meaningful for each person.

How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for low motivation, anxiety about choices, and living with long-term health or life challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people recognise and change repeated dynamics that cause pain. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the client’s experience at the heart of sessions, using empathic listening and collaboration to build trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lindsey will discuss different ways of working and help choose what fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work and caregiving, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and the option to avoid travel. If you need a particular session format, please confirm current options before booking so you know what is offered. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to help clients make therapy fit into everyday life rather than replacing other forms of support.
