About Lindsey
Lindsey Stafford is a counsellor with ten years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers warm, direct support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. Lindsey also helps with grief, parenting concerns, anger and self-esteem struggles.
Lindsey approaches each person with honesty, humour and kindness. She works collaboratively, listening first and then helping clients find practical ways forward. Sessions are guided by the BACP’s Ethical Framework and by respect for each person’s experience.
Background and approach
Her background includes several years working in public, charitable and voluntary counselling services. That time gave Lindsey wide experience with common problems such as bereavement, relationship strain and substance misuse. Before counselling work she spent over 20 years in education in roles from classroom teaching to family practitioner work.
Those roles shaped her practical, down-to-earth style and her focus on clear communication. She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including cognitive behavioural ideas, solution-focused strategies and work that looks at attachment and values. Lindsey aims to help people identify what matters to them and take small, useful steps towards it.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, focused tools and support that fits day-to-day life. Lindsey offers video, phone, chat and messaging sessions to make counselling easier to arrange.

Approaches that translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps in that direction. It focuses on values and practical actions rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers clear exercises to change patterns that cause distress. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people work on emotional connection and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adapts techniques from different approaches, and checks in regularly to make sure the plan still feels helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to arrange counselling around work, childcare and busy schedules.
