About Lindsey

Lindsey Stafford is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and grief. Lindsey also helps with parenting strain, low self-esteem, anger and family problems.

Lindsey works in a straightforward and collaborative way. Sessions aim to be warm and respectful, while focusing on practical steps you can try between appointments. She brings honesty, good humour and steadiness to each conversation.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. Lindsey uses attachment-based thinking to notice how relationships shape current difficulties. She also offers solution-focused work when people want short-term, goal-led help.

She gained counselling experience across public, voluntary and charity settings. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of issues and taught her to adapt support to each person’s situation. Lindsey also has over 20 years of experience in education, including teaching and family practitioner roles.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Lindsey practises in the United Kingdom and works in line with the BACP ethical framework as a registered member.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and focuses on living by chosen values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life direction issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with panic, anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape reactions and coping styles, which can help with issues like abandonment, communication problems and relationship strain.

Lindsey treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. Over the first sessions she will check what works and adjust the plan together, so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video gives a close, face-to-face feel for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make counselling easier to fit around work, family and location while keeping the focus on progress and clear next steps.
