About Lindsay
Lindsay Lightley is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She is a BACP member and listed with NCPS. Lindsay helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes, and she also works with related issues such as panic, obsessions and attachment concerns.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding patterns that keep problems going. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make day-to-day coping feel more manageable.
In practice Lindsay draws on client-centred work to listen and build therapeutic rapport. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. Psychodynamic ideas are used when looking at long-standing relationship patterns and past experiences that affect present feelings.
Lindsay invites clients to review how approaches are working and to shift direction if needed. Progress is discussed in plain terms with attention to achievable goals. The emphasis is on skills you can use between sessions and clearer thinking about next steps.
She works in English and does not accept international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the session. It involves reflective listening and responding to what the client brings, which helps build a working relationship and supports clearer thinking about current problems.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses specific techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes, useful for anxiety, panic and low mood.
Psychodynamic work looks at recurring relationship patterns and early experiences that influence current reactions. It can help when someone wants to understand why certain situations keep repeating.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs, and will try different methods if something is not helping. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a fixed plan.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around study or work and making appointments without travel. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule into busy routines and helpful for maintaining continuity when life gets hectic.
