About Lyndsay
Lyndsay Macaulay is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship or family problems, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting strains, self-esteem and mood difficulties, sleeping and eating issues, career changes, and coping with major life transitions. Lyndsay works in the United Kingdom and conducts her work in English.
Her approach is grounded in person-centred practice, which means the client guides the pace and focus of sessions while Lyndsay follows their lead. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, often called CBT, to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Hypnotherapy is another option she offers when it may suit a person’s needs.
Sessions aim to be calm and steady. Lyndsay creates a space for people to talk openly, look beneath immediate reactions, and make sense of feelings without pressure or judgement. She emphasises listening and helping people feel understood so they can find their own strengths.
Her style is collaborative rather than directive. She helps individuals spot recurring patterns, build self-awareness, and choose practical steps that fit their life. This can mean short-term work on a specific problem or ongoing support during a longer change.
With three years of professional experience and BACP registration, Lyndsay brings focused, approachable care for emotional and relational struggles. To explore working together, follow the site process to see if she might be a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Person-centred counselling places the client's experience at the centre of the work. A counsellor using this approach listens closely, follows a person's lead, and helps them make sense of feelings and choices in their own time. This can be useful for people needing a calm space to reflect on relationships, identity, or parenting pressures.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and try practical experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and managing stress. Hypnotherapy offers a different kind of guided work that some people find helpful for things like anxiety, sleep or habit-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lyndsay will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences, and she can adapt the mix as therapy progresses. Together they agree on aims and practical steps to try.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, cut out travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to choose sessions that match their energy levels, such as a call when screen time is tiring or a longer session when more space is needed.
