About Lyndsay
Lyndsay Macaulay is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults on common early-adult concerns such as anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship difficulties. She also supports people navigating identity questions, family strain, grief and life changes.
Lyndsay's base approach is person-centred, which means the client sets the pace and direction of sessions. She combines that with cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Sessions focus on understanding what lies beneath surface feelings and on practical steps to manage them.
In conversation she aims to be steady and collaborative rather than directive. Clients are invited to notice patterns, build self-awareness and practice different ways of responding to difficult thoughts and situations. Work can include talking, short exercises and setting small goals between sessions.
She has supported people dealing with burnout, difficulties around intimacy and eating and sleeping problems. Lyndsay also works with issues linked to neurodivergence, attachment and caregiving stress. Her experience covers a mix of emotional, relational and practical life concerns.
Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the platform's online booking flow.
Approaches you might use and how online work fits
Person-centred work focuses on what matters to the client and follows their pace. Sessions begin by listening to the person's concerns and then shape the conversation around those priorities, which helps when life feels unclear or overwhelming.Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. These techniques use simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and to build practical coping skills for anxiety, low mood or sleep difficulties.
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in habits or reduce stress responses. It can be used alongside conversational work when someone wants help with sleep, anxiety or breaking unhelpful patterns.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to try different methods and decide what fits best based on the person's goals and preferences. Expect regular check-ins about how a method is working and adjustments where needed.
The original profile did not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or busy days by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. They also allow shorter check-ins or telephone use when video is not convenient. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for online use to keep work practical and focused.
