About Lindsey

Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with ten years' experience working with adults, couples and groups. She holds BACP registration and practises in the United Kingdom. Lindsey focuses on relationship difficulties and midlife transition concerns and offers straightforward support for people facing change and uncertainty.

She has a varied background including time supporting people in a therapeutic community in prison and long experience as a prison officer. That work shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach to complex problems. Lindsey often works with people affected by trauma, abuse, grief and issues around self-esteem and motivation.

Clients commonly bring challenges related to ADHD, addictions, intimacy and communication, or experience patterns such as scapegoating and narcissistic dynamics in close relationships. Lindsey also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, career questions and sleeping or eating difficulties. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

In sessions she aims to help people notice what matters most to them and take manageable steps forward. Conversations are practical and focused, with time spent on clarifying goals and trying new ways of handling problems. Lindsey draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person’s situation.

Her practice is grounded in listening and collaboration. She encourages small changes that build into more confidence and clearer direction. If someone is feeling stuck or overwhelmed in midlife or other life stages, Lindsey offers guided support to find more balance and purpose.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps forward. It is useful for midlife decisions, motivation issues and handling uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and communication. It can help people understand repeated relationship problems and develop different ways of connecting. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, focuses on processing distressing memories and trauma; it can reduce the emotional intensity of past events and ease the way forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lindsey will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. She treats the choice as a collaborative decision and remains flexible if an approach needs adjusting as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so check current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist in a different region or country. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical arrangements and tailor sessions to what suits an individual's schedule and circumstances.
