About Lindsey

Lindsey Stafford works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, depression, family tension, anger and low self esteem using an open, collaborative and professional approach. She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member (MBACP) and has ten years' experience in counselling work.

Lindsey uses practical talking therapy to help people manage difficult feelings and make clearer choices. Sessions focus on what is causing distress now, and on small steps that can reduce pressure and improve daily life. She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems rather than a single method.

Her background includes counselling roles across the public, charitable and voluntary sectors. This experience gave her exposure to a wide range of issues, from depression and anxiety to alcohol and drug-related addiction and bereavement. Before qualifying as a counsellor she spent over 20 years working in education, including teaching and family practitioner roles.

In the room Lindsey aims for honest, straightforward work that keeps the client's best interests central. She listens, reflects and offers practical strategies when useful. Sessions may include talking through difficult memories, testing out new ways of responding, and setting achievable goals between meetings.

She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication problems, loneliness, workplace stress and young adult issues. Lindsey works with prejudice and discrimination impacts and helps people explore life purpose and self-worth alongside practical recovery from substance issues.

How Lindsey’s approaches shape remote counselling

Lindsey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and prioritise actions that matter to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and decisions about recovery or life direction.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach can help with abandonment, codependency and repeating relational problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will discuss different methods and agree what to try based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling around work or childcare and reducing travel time. If you are unsure which session formats are offered, confirm current options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals use remote sessions to make regular check-ins and focused therapeutic tasks easier to fit into everyday life.
