About Lindsey
Lindsey Wheeler is a BACP counsellor with ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and self-esteem concerns, and a broad range of related issues including ADHD and addictions.
She has a long background supporting people in challenging settings, previously working in a therapeutic community in prison and earlier as a prison officer. That experience shaped her practical, straightforward approach to difficult situations. Lindsey often works with people affected by narcissistic dynamics and scapegoating in relationships, and with partners of people who have ADHD.
In sessions she uses several approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred principles to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. She also integrates trauma-focused methods and psychodynamic ideas when looking at how past experiences affect current patterns.
People come to Lindsey for help with anxiety, domestic or sexual abuse, bullying, coping with grief, motivation, sleeping and eating concerns, anger and career uncertainty. She also offers support around attachment problems, communication issues and the stresses of caregiving and chronic illness.
Her style is direct and practical. Lindsey aims to help people identify strengths and try manageable changes. To begin, she asks a few questions about what matters most and works with the person to plan the next steps.
How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and recognise what matters to them, then practise small actions that match those values. It is useful for worry, low motivation and struggles with direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people change patterns around trust, intimacy and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the person's aims and preferences. That collaborative view means the plan can change as needs and goals become clearer.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into study, work or busy days. Some formats need less bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others are better for longer therapeutic work. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose a format that fits your life and the issues you want to address.
