About Lyndsey
Lyndsey McCartney is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She works with people facing grief and loss, as well as those dealing with anxiety, depression and stress. Lyndsey also supports clients navigating relationship difficulties, parenting strain and career changes.
Lyndsey takes a warm, interactive approach in sessions. She treats people with respect and sensitivity, and avoids labels that feel limiting. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on practical next steps they can try between meetings.
How Lyndsey works
Her work draws on client-centred ways of working that place the person’s experience at the centre. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to try small behavioural experiments. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and reducing overwhelm.
She has supported people through bereavement and many kinds of loss, including relationship breakdown and changes at work or in health. Lyndsey also addresses issues such as self-esteem, anger, attachment worries, loneliness and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to be collaborative and tailored.
Lyndsey will listen, help set achievable goals and adjust the plan as needs change. Her style suits people who want a practical, empathetic space to make sense of difficult feelings and to build clearer ways forward.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Client-centred therapy places the person’s views and priorities at the heart of work. It focuses on being listened to, respected and understood, and it helps people explore what they want to change in their lives. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments and practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that reduce overwhelm and help people notice patterns in a calmer way.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lyndsey will discuss what matters to the client, try different ways of working and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps match techniques to a person’s goals, pace and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or need brief, frequent contact. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel while still accessing experienced registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
