About Lindsey
Lindsey Stafford helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and low mood. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, family conflict, anger and self‑esteem issues. Lindsey is approachable and calm in her manner, and she presents herself with warmth and plain talk.
She works in a collaborative way and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. Lindsey has ten years of counselling experience in public, charitable and voluntary settings.
How Lindsey works
Before that she spent over 20 years working in education in roles from teaching to family practitioner work. Sessions focus on what matters to each person. Lindsey uses straightforward methods to help people manage panic, navigate loss, and change unhelpful patterns.
She aims to make sessions practical and focused so people can try things between appointments. Lindsey draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural work and acceptance and commitment ideas to help with thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. Attachment‑based and client‑centred ways of working guide how she listens and responds.
Solution‑focused techniques are used when people want shorter, goal‑orientated support. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging for people in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support options
How Lindsey's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It is often used for panic, anxiety and depression and includes practical exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try together. Over time she adjusts the focus so the work fits what is actually helping the person to move forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video calls allow face to face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check‑in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check‑ins or people who prefer typing and flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day to day life while keeping a steady therapeutic focus.
