About Lindsey
Lindsey Wheeler has practised as a counsellor for ten years and holds BACP membership, bringing long experience supporting adults with complex life challenges. She draws on years working in supported settings and community services to offer steady, practical help. Lindsey is calm and direct in sessions and focuses on helping people find clearer ways forward.
Her work often centres on relationship difficulty and trauma. She supports people coping with abuse, grief, addiction and issues around intimacy.
How Lindsey works
Lindsey also helps those living with ADHD, and people whose partners have ADHD. She can work with concerns linked to mood, sleep, eating and anger. Lindsey pays attention to how past patterns affect current life.
She uses talking therapies to help people notice repeated cycles, understand emotional reactions and try different ways of responding. Where trauma is present she draws on trauma-focused tools tailored to each person. She also offers support around career strain, caregiving stress and long-term health conditions.
Her approach balances listening with practical steps so people can build confidence and daily routines that feel manageable. People who find relationships confusing or who feel stuck after loss often choose Lindsey because she keeps work focused and straightforward. She encourages small experiments between sessions so new ways of living can be tested and adjusted.
To begin she asks people to say what matters most and what they hope to change. From there she and the person plan short-term goals and check progress as they go.

Approaches to therapy and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It often suits people dealing with anxiety, low mood or difficulty making meaningful life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try different ways of relating to others and themselves. These approaches are often used alongside talking therapies to address trauma and relationship patterns.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss options and try approaches that fit the person's goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed as work progresses so techniques are adjusted if something is not helping.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact and can suit people who prefer typed communication or need flexible daily support. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving and other commitments, and they let people access therapists who are not local.
