About Lindsay

Lindsay Westwood trained in counselling and psychotherapy and holds a Masters degree in the subject. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of practice and over 2,000 hours of direct counselling experience. Lindsay blends psychological knowledge with creative approaches to make therapy practical and accessible.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's experience in focus.

Background and approach

Sessions are relaxed and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people talk through what matters to them and find their own answers. Lindsay has worked with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures, and relationship and intimacy-related issues.

She has particular experience supporting people through bereavement and the effects of adverse childhood experiences. She also offers group work such as inner child workshops and mindfulness practice sessions. These are designed to bring play, practical skills and breath-based practice into everyday life.

Lindsay adapts her approach to fit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. In sessions she listens, helps set achievable goals, and suggests coping strategies where useful. Her practice emphasises honesty, empathy and respect, and she keeps learning through ongoing professional development.

If someone feels stuck, she aims to help them regain clarity and trust in their own decisions.

Ways of working Lindsay names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred care and online options

Lindsay practises primarily from a person-centred perspective. This way of working focuses on listening closely, offering empathy, and trusting that people have inner resources to find their own solutions. It is helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and feeling stuck.

She also blends in creative and mindfulness elements when useful. Creative practices can open different ways of describing experience, and mindfulness exercises help people notice and work with thoughts and bodily reactions. These additions aim to make sessions more practical and tailored to each person's needs.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through options with the client, consider goals and preferences, and agree practical next steps together rather than prescribing a single method.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break from work. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer typing or want brief, frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and mobility needs, while keeping the focus on consistent, collaborative care.
