About Lindsey

Lindsey Wheeler works with adults on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, ADHD and related relationship issues. She uses approaches she lists such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred methods and EMDR. Lindsey is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years' experience.

She previously worked in secure settings and spent several years supporting people in a therapeutic community in prison, after a long career as a prison officer. That background informs her practical approach to safety, routine and rebuilding trust. Lindsey now focuses on adults, including people affected by ADHD either directly or through a partner, and those caught in narcissistic or scapegoating dynamics.

Sessions are conversational and aim to make difficult topics manageable. Lindsey helps people talk through past abuse, bullying, domestic violence or neglect, and addresses the ripple effects on confidence, motivation and everyday relationships. She also supports coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and age-related worries.

Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas about past patterns and attachment, and on therapies that focus on values and present action. EMDR is offered for trauma-focused work when appropriate. Lindsey describes a client-centred stance, which means she listens and works with each person's priorities.

She accepts people from different countries and runs sessions in English. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site's booking flow. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Lindsey applies therapy online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps that fit with their values; it is useful for motivation, anxiety and behaviour change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice and change those patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to reduce the emotional impact of past events when trauma processing is appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lindsey will discuss the options with each person, agree goals and try approaches that fit the client's needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from different methods as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and can reduce time spent on commuting. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or for sessions without video if that better suits someone's day. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, often find online work helps clients maintain continuity of care and practical access to support.
