Background and approach
Lindsay has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and addictions. She has particular experience supporting people dealing with bereavement during the pandemic and with issues linked to adverse childhood experiences. Parenting is listed among her focus areas and she helps parents navigate the stresses that come with family life.
Her work often explores attachment, abandonment and codependency, along with challenges such as chronic illness, cancer, and caregiving strain. Lindsay also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping problems, intimacy difficulties, and changes in career and identity. Sessions are practical and conversational.
Lindsay uses empathy, honesty and curiosity to build a working relationship. She offers mindfulness groups and inner child workshops for people wanting a more experiential route to healing. People who prefer a calm, non-judgemental space and a therapist who adapts to individual needs may find her style helpful.
She aims to help clients find clarity, regain trust in themselves and move forward at their own pace.

How Lindsay’s client-centred approach works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, understanding relationship where the person leads the conversation. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what they hear and helps the person explore their own answers; this approach can help with issues like anxiety, grief and self-esteem.Lindsay also brings mindful awareness into her work, offering simple breath-based practices and group sessions to help people manage stress and notice bodily responses. These practices can support people dealing with chronic pain, compassion fatigue, or ongoing worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsay will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That collaborative choice means the work can be adjusted over time as priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. This range makes therapy more flexible and accessible for people juggling work, caregiving or mobility challenges.
