Lindsey Wheeler

Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and ten years of post-qualification experience. She works with adults who are coping with relationship strain, grief, trauma, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Lindsey often supports people affected by ADHD or who are in relationships with partners who have ADHD. She also offers help to those dealing with difficult relationship dynamics such as narcissism and scapegoating.

Lindsey draws on a mix of talking approaches to guide sessions. She listens clearly and helps people name what is happening in their life. Together they look at patterns, practical steps and small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.

Her background includes long experience supporting people in strict settings and group work, which informs a steady and straightforward style. Lindsey aims to make sessions feel calm and direction-oriented while still allowing people space to speak freely about painful experiences.

She uses methods that address past hurts and present coping, including therapies that work with trauma, attachment and personal values. Sessions pay attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and to practical ways to reduce distress day to day.

Lindsey encourages people to take one careful step at a time. She helps clients build on existing strengths, practise new ways of relating, and plan safer, more sustainable routines. Her work is centred on clear goals and practical support.

How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to the person and taking small, value-led steps. It helps when someone is stuck, unsure of priorities, or struggling with low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling. It can help with trust issues, fear of abandonment, and patterns that repeat in close relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with disturbing memories by pairing focused recall with specific processing techniques to reduce emotional intensity and improve everyday coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as goals change. She aims to collaborate so the plan fits the person's needs, preferences and pace.

If you are considering online sessions, check the therapist's current options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make regular work easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some methods, like ACT and attachment-focused conversations, transfer well to remote sessions, while EMDR may be discussed with respect to how it is delivered. The emphasis is on finding a practical way to make therapy part of everyday life rather than a perfect one-size-fits-all solution.
