Lindsey WheelerBACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and ten years of clinical experience. She has worked with adults, couples and groups and brings a long history of supporting people through relationship and trauma-related challenges. Lindsey’s style is warm and straightforward and she aims to help people feel steadier and more able to face change.

She focuses on relationship difficulties, including partners where ADHD is involved, and on patterns such as narcissism and scapegoating. Lindsey also supports people dealing with trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief and loss, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. Her background includes several years working in therapeutic settings inside the prison system and earlier work as a prison officer, which informs her practical approach.

In sessions Lindsey listens closely and helps clients work out small, manageable steps. She uses talking together to identify patterns and tries to find ways for people to make different choices day to day. The work often mixes looking at past experiences with practical strategies to reduce overwhelm.

Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and clear discussion about aims and next steps. Lindsey emphasises people’s existing strengths and helps them build on those resources. She encourages realistic goals and offers support while people develop new ways of coping.

Her approach draws on several therapeutic methods suited to trauma and relationship work. People find this useful when they want help with clarity, stronger boundaries, or recovering after painful events.

How Lindsey’s approaches work online and what to expect

Lindsey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred ways of working. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Attachment-based work looks at past relationship patterns to understand current reactions and helps people build clearer boundaries and safer connections. Client-centred practice means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, offering empathic listening and reflecting what matters most to the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods fit best. That collaborative process means techniques can be tried, reviewed and adjusted as needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid lengthy commutes and access regular support when juggling work, childcare or recovery tasks. Many people find this helps them maintain steady progress between appointments.
