About Lindsay
Lindsay Westwood is a counsellor with a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and six years' experience. She is registered with the BACP. Lindsay works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, grief, trauma, addictions and relationship and intimacy issues.
She draws on a background in psychology and creative practices. Her practice centres on Person-Centred Relational ideas, often called Client-Centred Therapy, and she adapts what she uses to fit the issue presented. Clients are helped to make unconscious patterns clearer and to access their own answers.
Over 2,000 hours of counselling work inform her approach. That experience includes supporting people through grief during the pandemic and working with the effects of adverse childhood experiences, sexual abuse, substance misuse in families, and online sexual risk.
Lindsay also runs group work such as inner child workshops and mindfulness practice groups. These sessions focus on bringing play and simple breath-based practices into everyday life and help people learn short, practical skills to manage stress and strong emotions.
In one-to-one work she listens and helps set achievable goals. She uses straightforward strategies for coping, clearer decision-making, and rebuilding trust in oneself. The aim is practical: to reduce overwhelm, manage anger and difficult feelings, and support clearer next steps.
How her client-centred approach works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps with issues such as anger, grief, anxiety and relationship strain by making thoughts and feelings easier to understand. Lindsay explains ideas simply, offers psychoeducation when helpful, and supports people to find their own solutions.She combines that core approach with practical tools from her wider learning, including mindful awareness and simple coping strategies. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which methods and pace suit the person's goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to work between commitments or to use short check-ins when needed. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the profile does not list current options, and discuss together what will fit best for your routine and needs.
