About Lindsay

Lindsay Welton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. Lindsay uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns that cause repeated upset.

Her approach is practical and relational. She draws on client-centred listening to understand what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Attachment-based thinking helps when patterns from earlier relationships affect how people respond now.

Sessions are conversational and focused. Lindsay helps people name what they feel, track triggers, and try small changes between meetings. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce immediate agitation and to slow down strong reactions. Psychodynamic ideas can be used to look at longer-standing patterns when that is useful.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and readable. Expect plain language, short-term practical steps, and regular check-ins on progress. People can bring specific incidents, work stress, relationship frustrations, or ongoing low mood and focus on workable next steps.

Lindsay also works with issues that often sit alongside anger, such as sleep problems, eating concerns, addiction, ADHD, and grief. Her practice suits those who want clear conversation and techniques they can try between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now. Online sessions can use this approach to pinpoint repetitive responses in friendships or close relationships and to try different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard. In remote sessions this tends to mean steady, supportive conversation and time to name feelings and reactions as they come up. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments. Online work can include short exercises between sessions, thought records, and practical breathing or grounding tasks to try when anger flares. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree which mix of methods to use. This decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, or let people join from a quieter location without travel. These practical benefits help some people keep momentum between meetings and try techniques in their everyday life.
