Lindsay Welton, BACP

Lindsay Welton is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief and parenting strains. Lindsay encourages people who want clearer thinking and steadier emotions to take a first step towards change.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly about worries and painful memories. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce distress and build everyday coping skills. Lindsay listens closely and works at the client’s pace so conversations feel manageable.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She also uses client-centred principles to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when helpful for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Mindfulness practices and psychodynamic thinking may be introduced to increase self-awareness and reduce reactivity. These methods are adapted to suit each person rather than applied rigidly. Lindsay aims to combine short-term, practical work with exploration of deeper patterns over time.

She has 12 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English. Prospective clients are invited to begin a simple matching process to find the best next step.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to notice recurring relationship habits and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening, acceptance and the client’s own goals; it helps people feel heard and find their own solutions during regular conversations. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and routines and is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift and progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing appointments around work or family commitments. It also makes short check-ins and regular weekly sessions more practical for people with busy schedules. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices to work well in remote appointments.
