About Lindsey
Lindsey Stafford is a BACP counsellor with ten years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and addictions, and she also helps with parenting strain, grief and family difficulties.
She works in a direct and collaborative way. Lindsey follows the BACP Ethical Framework and keeps the person's best interests central to the work. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.
Lindsey draws on several approaches to guide conversations. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thoughts and behaviours that feed anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values.
Attachment-based work is used to look at how early relationships shape reactions to stress and anger. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and test small changes between sessions. Lindsey aims to help people try different ways of responding to frustrating situations and to build clearer personal boundaries.
Before counselling she spent over 20 years working in education in roles from teaching to family practitioner work. That background informs her practical focus and experience with young adult and parenting issues. Lindsey offers sessions in English and works from a professional framework set by the BACP.

How Lindsey uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and then pick actions that match what matters to them. This can help with anger that feels stuck or when avoidance increases stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions, offering clear exercises to reduce panic, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lindsey treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods seem most useful based on the person's goals and day-to-day challenges. That shared planning means sessions can shift focus as progress is made.
