About Lyndsay

Lyndsay Macaulay is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low mood and relationship and family difficulties. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where adults can talk openly and begin to make sense of their thoughts and feelings.

Sessions are paced to each person, so the client sets the direction of the work together with Lyndsay. Her approach is rooted in person-centred counselling, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help explore unhelpful thinking patterns and hypnotherapy to support relaxation and focused change. These methods are blended in a way that suits each person’s needs. People see Lyndsay for a range of concerns including parenting stress, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, chronic pain and life changes.

She also works with issues linked to neurodivergence, attachment and dissociation, and with those coping with caregiver strain or domestic violence aftereffects. Lyndsay’s style is warm, steady and collaborative. She helps clients spot repeating patterns and build practical skills to cope day to day.

Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and reconnect people with what matters to them. With three years of professional experience and BACP registration, Lyndsay offers flexible online formats that fit busy lives. If someone wants to explore working together, they can begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Practical approaches for online therapy and recovery

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. Sessions are built around what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and helping to clarify worries or goals. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and general life stress.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Lyndsay can work with clients to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change how they cope. This is helpful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.

Hypnotherapy supports focused relaxation and imagery to reduce stress and strengthen new habits. It can be used alongside talking therapy to assist with sleeping difficulties, stress relief and managing physical symptoms like chronic pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lyndsay works together with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so people can try different ways of working and see what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls make it possible to have conversational sessions that feel close to an in-person meeting. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use a camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and more frequent contact between sessions. These options help therapy fit around work, family and daily life without long travel.
