About Lyndsey

Lyndsey McCartney draws on eight years of counselling and coaching experience to support people facing losses and difficult life changes. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she works with a wide range of concerns including grief, anxiety, depression and relationship stress.

Lyndsey aims to make meetings feel calm and respectful so people can speak honestly about what is troubling them. Her style is warm and interactive.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on listening first, then identifying practical steps and gentle reflections to help with day-to-day coping. Lyndsey mixes talking therapy with simple skills people can try between sessions. She uses client-centred methods to follow the person’s pace and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when thoughts and habits are getting in the way of functioning. Mindfulness-based techniques help people notice and manage overwhelming emotions. Lyndsey also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships.

Together these approaches help with bereavement, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem as well as practical worries like money or work stress. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or messaging.

Lyndsey aims to help people build steadier routines, clearer choices and more helpful ways to cope so they can manage the next steps of life.

How Lyndsey’s approaches work online

Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person rather than a checklist. The counsellor follows what matters most to the client and helps them speak freely about their priorities and feelings. This approach is useful for grief, relationship concerns and when someone needs a steady listening presence.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Sessions break problems into smaller steps and develop simple techniques for managing anxiety, low mood or unhelpful routines. Mindfulness techniques teach noticing thoughts and sensations without immediately reacting, which can reduce overwhelm and improve coping during stressful periods.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lyndsey will discuss different methods and tailor what she uses to the person’s goals and preferences. That way therapy stays practical and collaborative rather than one‑size‑fits‑all.

Online therapy lets people access help from wherever they are, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is good for a face‑to‑face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while live chat or messaging suit quick check‑ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare or other commitments.
