About Lyndsay

Lyndsay Macaulay supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She works with adults facing parenting pressure, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and major life changes. Lyndsay also helps with issues linked to trauma and abuse, attachment concerns, and challenges related to autism and neurodivergence.

She follows a person-centred way of working where the client sets the pace and topics. Lyndsay combines that with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and hypnotherapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.

02

How Lyndsay works

Sessions aim to be calm and non-judgemental so people can speak openly. Her style is warm and steady. She listens, reflects, and works alongside each person rather than telling them what to do.

Together they explore patterns, build awareness, and focus on practical steps that fit the client’s life. Lyndsay has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation; BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practises in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.

Therapy can include short-term practical work or longer conversations depending on the issue. Lyndsay offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make it easier to work around busy schedules. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time.

Online support options

How Lyndsay adapts talking therapy for online care

Many people find cognitive behavioural techniques useful for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thought patterns. These methods focus on spotting thinking and behaviour patterns, testing them out, and practising small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Hypnotherapy is used as a complementary tool to help people access focused relaxation and new ways of responding to stress or unwanted habits. It can be helpful for sleep problems, stress management, and breaking repetitive behaviours when combined with talk-based work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lyndsay will explore the client's goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process makes room for short-term practical techniques or longer conversational therapy depending on what the person wants to achieve.

Online therapy with Lyndsay is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth needs, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare and busy days, while still allowing consistent, ongoing support.
