About Lyndsey

Lyndsey McCartney works on bereavement and loss and helps people process many kinds of loss using counselling and coaching methods. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and she has eight years' experience.

Lyndsey offers direct, conversational sessions that focus on understanding what has changed and what matters now. She draws on client-centred work to listen and respond to each person's concerns. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used where thinking and behaviour patterns are getting in the way.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that affect current feelings, and mindfulness techniques to help with distressing thoughts and intense emotions. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants clearer direction or support making changes.

Lyndsey has worked with people facing bereavement after a death, and with other kinds of loss such as separation, job loss, or health changes. She also supports those coping with anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting difficulties, career questions, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions aim to be practical as well as reflective. Lyndsey helps people learn ways to manage difficult feelings, notice unhelpful thoughts, and make step-by-step changes that fit their life. She uses plain language and a straightforward style to make conversations clear and manageable.

How Lyndsey uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-centred therapy focuses on what the client brings to the session and on being understood. It is useful for people who want a counsellor who listens, reflects and helps them find their own solutions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and practical behaviours to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping habits.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage intense feelings. It can help with rumination and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lyndsey will work with the client to agree which methods to try, adapt them over time, and check that the work meets the person's goals and preferences.

Session arrangements are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking.
