About Lyndsay

Lyndsay Macaulay offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and low mood. She also helps with relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, career questions and coping with life changes. Lyndsay works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected and who want a steady, compassionate space to talk things through.

She uses a person-centred way of working, which means the client leads the pace and focus of sessions.

Background and approach

Lyndsay also draws on cognitive behavioural approaches and hypnotherapy where these may help clarify patterns or shift unhelpful thinking. Her manner is warm and calm, aiming to create a space without pressure or judgement. In sessions she helps people notice repetitive patterns and make small, practical changes.

Conversations can cover emotions, past experiences and everyday behaviours. The aim is to build self-awareness and skills that carry into daily life. Lyndsay has three years of professional experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Therapy can be used to reflect, problem-solve or manage distressing feelings. Lyndsay encourages a collaborative relationship that focuses on the client’s goals and what matters most to them.

How Lyndsay’s approaches work online

Lyndsay commonly uses a person-centred way of working which focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. This approach helps people who need a calm space to make sense of feelings, explore identity questions or work through relational concerns.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques that help identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT-style work is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and everyday coping skills. Hypnotherapy is used as a short-term tool to support relaxation, change habits or manage distressing symptoms when it fits the client’s goals.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the method matches changing needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on practical progress and personal goals.
