About Lindsey
Lindsey Stafford is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP with 10 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, depression, family issues, anger and self-esteem. Lindsey also focuses on young adult issues and related challenges such as isolation, life purpose and workplace pressure.
She trained and practised across public, charitable and voluntary settings. That experience includes work in education, where she spent over 20 years in roles from teaching to family practitioner work. Those roles shaped how she listens and how she responds to practical problems.
Her sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Lindsey aims to be honest and good-humoured while keeping the client's best interests central. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with room for reflection and clearer next steps.
She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred work. That means sessions can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, clarifying values, and using short, focused strategies to manage symptoms or make changes.
Lindsey often helps people dealing with grief, addiction or feeling stuck after big life transitions. She also supports those coping with attachment concerns, communication problems and panic. Young adults who feel behind, overwhelmed or uncertain about next steps may find the sessions focus on skills they can use day to day.
Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking. The starting steps are completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging a first session through the site's booking flow.
How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you clarify what matters most and build actions around those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and decisions about direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like panic and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own experience and uses careful listening to help people find their own solutions.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. Lindsey will work with clients to try methods, see what helps, and adjust the plan based on needs, goals and personal preference. That collaborative testing can make sessions feel more useful from the early meetings.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how Lindsey runs appointments. Many people choose online meetings because they fit around study or work, allow a quieter or less travel-heavy option, or make it easier to keep regular check-ins. If you need a shorter check-in or something that fits a lunch break, discuss that when you arrange your first session.
