About Lindsey
Lindsey Wheeler is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience working with adults across a range of concerns. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem problems, ADHD, addictions and anger. Lindsey's UK practice also covers intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stresses and career concerns.
She began her career in custodial settings and spent years supporting people in therapeutic roles within prison services. That time shaped how she listens and how she holds difficult material. Lindsey is used to working with strong emotions and long-standing patterns that affect daily life.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas and client-centred listening. She also uses psychodynamic thinking and EMDR where appropriate. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and to find practical next steps that fit their life.
Lindsey often supports people affected by abandonment, codependency, control issues and communication problems. She also works with those managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, bipolar concerns and the fallout from bullying or scapegoating in relationships.
In sessions she focuses on helping people recognise strengths, manage intense emotions and make changes that reduce conflict. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to patterns from the past that still shape present reactions. If someone wants help understanding anger, improving communication or coping after trauma, Lindsey offers steady, experience-informed support.
How Lindsey uses therapeutic approaches online
Lindsey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without being driven by them. ACT focuses on clear values and small actions that move someone toward what matters, which can help with anger, avoidance and life changes.Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present reactions. This approach helps people understand patterns in their close relationships and reduce reactivity during conflict. It can be useful for intimacy problems, communication issues and feeling scapegoated in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will discuss options and decide together what fits the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative step can include trying different tools and noticing what helps in day-to-day life.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often combine talking therapies with practical exercises that can be done between sessions to manage anger and rebuild communication.
