About Lindsey

Lindsey Stafford is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, parenting pressures and low self-esteem. She works with issues such as anger, family problems and depression, and supports people dealing with attachment concerns and isolation.

She practises in a collaborative, open way. Lindsey aims to make sessions warm and straightforward. She offers honesty, kindness and a sense of humour while focusing on what matters to each person.

Lindsey draws on a range of practical approaches including client-centred ways of working, acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused tools. In sessions she listens first, then helps people try small changes that fit their daily life.

Her background includes many years in public, charitable and voluntary counselling roles. She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP, and works in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework.

Before moving into counselling she spent over 20 years in education, from classroom teaching to roles as a family practitioner. That experience shapes her practical and supportive style when talking through parenting and young adult concerns.

People can expect clear, direct conversation about goals and steps to take between sessions. Lindsey supports people who want realistic tools and thoughtful listening as they work through difficult life moments.

How Lindsey’s approaches work for online therapy

Lindsey uses client-centred ways of working that focus on the person in front of her. That approach means listening carefully and helping people set the pace and topics for each session. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports committing to actions that fit a valued life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build steadier ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Lindsey will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try together. The plan can change as work progresses so methods remain practical and relevant.

Practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats available, so please confirm which are offered before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a quieter place without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these options to reach people who need flexible arrangements.
