Lindsey Wheeler, BACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with a BACP registration and ten years of therapy experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are navigating difficult relationships, trauma, grief and issues around self-esteem. Lindsey writes plainly and listens closely to help people find steady ways forward.

She has a long background in prison work, both as a former prison officer and as a support worker in a Therapeutic Community. That practical experience shaped how she talks about difficult behaviour and safety, and it informs her work with people coming from challenging situations.

Lindsey focuses on relationship difficulties, including partners affected by ADHD, and on patterns such as narcissism and scapegoating. She also supports people with anxiety, sexual and domestic abuse, bullying, bereavement, motivation and confidence. Her approach aims to make problems clearer and more manageable.

In sessions she helps people notice their strengths and face uncomfortable feelings in small steps. She draws on a mix of methods to suit the person in front of her rather than one fixed model. This means she may use trauma-focused techniques or attachment-based thinking where these seem helpful.

She encourages a practical tone in therapy, with straightforward conversation and tasks you can try between meetings. Lindsey invites people who are ready to take the first step to reach out and explore what change might look like for them.

How Lindsey's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being led by them, and then take small, value-led actions. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and decisions that feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to build safer, more trusting ways of relating to others. It can help with intimacy issues and recurring relationship cycles. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming; it is often used for past abuse and big shocks.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lindsey will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and work collaboratively to try methods that fit. That means plans can shift over time as progress and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Different formats may suit different people, so please confirm the exact session options available before booking. Lindsey aims to make remote work practical and focused so people can use what they learn in everyday life.
