About Lindsay

Lindsay Westwood is a counsellor with a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and six years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has built a broad clinical background that includes psychology and creative work.

Lindsay aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult experiences and find their own way forward. She uses a person-centred way of working, which means listening closely and following what the client brings to the session.

Background and approach

That approach helps people feel heard and able to explore difficult feelings. Lindsay describes her practice as adaptable and draws from different ideas to meet each person’s needs. Her work has included supporting people through grief and loss during the pandemic and helping with the effects of adverse childhood experiences.

She has experience with trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, addiction-related issues, and the emotional impact of chronic illness and caregiving. Lindsay also offers workshops on inner child work and mindfulness practice groups. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding.

Lindsay helps people set small, achievable goals and develop coping strategies that fit their life. She aims to help clients gain clarity, rebuild trust in themselves, and reconnect with their own strengths. Lindsay continues regular professional development in trauma-related models and mindful awareness.

Her stated values are empathy, honesty and integrity, and she approaches each person with patience and a collaborative spirit.

Ways of working Lindsay names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred care online and what it offers

Person-centred therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. It involves careful listening, reflection and helping people find their own answers. This approach can help with feelings of low mood, anxiety, grief and trauma by giving space to understand and name difficult experiences.

Lindsay also uses mindful awareness practices in her work. Mindfulness involves simple breath-based exercises and attention to bodily sensations to reduce reactivity and increase calm. This can be helpful for people managing stress, overwhelm, or repeated anxious thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lindsay will collaborate with each person to decide which tools and ways of talking fit their goals and preferences. She adapts sessions to the issue being discussed rather than following a single formula.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful. Phone sessions can be easier when a video connection is not practical, and text or chat options suit shorter check-ins and more flexible scheduling. These options can make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily commitments.
