About Lindsey
Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with ten years' experience. She works with adults on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and related concerns. Lindsey uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people find clearer ways forward.
She has a background supporting people in prison therapeutic settings and previously worked as a prison officer. That experience shaped her calm, direct manner and her ability to work with difficult, complex issues. Lindsey now focuses on helping people affected by ADHD in themselves or their partners, and those coping with narcissistic and scapegoating dynamics.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes trauma-informed methods with acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-focused work. She aims to help people notice what matters to them, manage distressing memories or reactions, and build more helpful relationship patterns. Sessions are led by the client’s needs rather than a fixed formula.
Lindsey also supports people with addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger, parenting stress, career struggles and bipolar-related challenges. She pays attention to overlapping problems such as chronic illness, carer stress and communication difficulties. Her style is pragmatic, warm and persistent - she helps people try small steps that add up.
People who like clear structure and compassionate challenge often find her helpful. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress. Getting started involves a short matching process and scheduling that suits the client.

How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online work
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people address the impact of painful or stressful events. It involves talking through difficult memories at a pace that feels manageable and developing ways to reduce overwhelming reactions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on living by your values while accepting hard feelings. It helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small, values-driven steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lindsey will discuss different methods and help choose what fits a person’s goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days, manage energy levels and keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
