About Lindsey
Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with ten years of experience working with adults. She holds BACP registration and practises from the United Kingdom. Lindsey focuses on helping people who are dealing with relationship concerns, trauma, grief and parenting challenges.
She often supports clients coping with ADHD, addictions, eating or sleeping problems, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Her background includes many years in custodial settings and therapeutic communities, which shaped her straightforward, practical style.
Background and approach
Lindsey listens attentively and helps clients make sense of painful experiences. She aims to help people recognise their strengths and find ways to move forward when life feels stuck. Sessions tend to be collaborative and down to earth.
Lindsey uses approaches that suit the person’s situation rather than following a single method. Conversations may include looking at patterns from the past, building everyday coping skills, or working through trauma memories when appropriate. Parents reading this will find a practitioner who understands how parenting strains can affect mood, relationships and daily routines.
She offers help with common parenting struggles and with balancing personal needs alongside caregiving demands. Lindsey encourages small, practical changes that fit into busy lives. She supports people through loss, anger, career crossroads and complex relationship dynamics.
The aim is to reduce overwhelm and find clearer, more manageable ways to cope.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions in everyday life. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of parenting, relationships or daily functioning.Attachment Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It can be useful for people who want to change repeating dynamics in close relationships and increase emotional safety with partners or others.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma‑focused method that can help reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories. When trauma is a core issue, EMDR may be used alongside other approaches to help people feel less overwhelmed by past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text based messaging. Video sessions allow face to face conversation and visual connection. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or people who find typing easier than speaking.
