About Lyndsay
Lyndsay Macaulay is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship strains. She offers a calm, steady space where adults can talk things through and begin to make sense of overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Lyndsay works in a person-centred way, so clients set the pace and direction of the work.
She combines person-centred values with practical techniques such as cognitive behavioural approaches and hypnotherapy to support change. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, reducing distressing symptoms and building day-to-day coping skills. Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs.
Lyndsay often supports people coping with burnout, family stress and identity questions, and she also offers help around eating and sleeping concerns. She is familiar with issues linked to neurodivergence, attachment and caregiving stress, and can talk through relationship and intimacy-related worries.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on helping people reconnect with their own strengths. Over time she works to increase self-awareness and practical problem solving, so clients can manage triggers and move forward from difficult episodes.

How Lyndsay’s approaches work online
Person-centred work means the client’s priorities guide each session. Lyndsay focuses on listening, reflecting and helping clients set small goals. This approach suits people who want to explore what matters to them without being pushed in a particular direction.Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Lyndsay uses these techniques to help reduce anxious or unhelpful patterns and to build practical coping strategies that can be used day to day.
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in habits, behaviour or stress responses. It is used alongside other approaches to help with sleep, anxiety and some habit-based concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lyndsay will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to their goals and preferences so the therapy feels useful and manageable. That choice is made together rather than imposed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives people more flexibility about when and where they can connect with a therapist.
