About Lyndsay

Lyndsay Macaulay is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship and family difficulties, parenting pressures, and work-related wellbeing concerns. She works with adults facing issues such as identity questions, burnout, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy struggles, and the challenges of life change. Lyndsay draws on three years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as her credential.

Lyndsay offers a calm, steady space where people can speak openly and be listened to without judgement. Her approach is person-centred, so clients steer the pace and focus of each session. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy alongside that core stance.

In sessions she aims to help people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour and build practical skills for coping. Conversations often look at how daily routines, relationships, and work pressures affect mood and energy. The aim is to find manageable steps that fit into a busy life.

Her style is warm and collaborative rather than directive. Lyndsay works alongside people to increase self-awareness, set small goals, and reconnect with values and strengths. She frames therapy as a place to reflect, breathe, and gain clearer perspective.

To begin, prospective clients are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Person-centred work focuses on the client’s priorities and pace, offering space to talk and be heard. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects back what she hears, and follows the issues you bring up to help you make sense of them and choose next steps.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teach practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. These techniques are useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and work-related stress because they target day-to-day habits and coping strategies.

Hypnotherapy involves guided attention and relaxation to explore unhelpful patterns and support behaviour change. When used alongside talking therapy it can help with sleep, anxiety and certain habitual behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different methods, and will adjust the approach collaboratively over time.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to keep continuity during life changes while still focusing on practical steps to improve wellbeing.
