About Lyndsay
Lyndsay Macaulay is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach starts from a person-centred stance, which means the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. Lyndsay also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy as part of her work. She aims to help people notice patterns, make sense of difficult thoughts, and try practical steps to feel more able to cope.
In sessions she pays attention to practical life problems as well as emotional impact. People bring issues such as burnout, identity questions, navigating neurodivergence, family stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or life transitions. Lyndsay helps to break those problems into manageable parts and explore options for change.
Her style is steady and collaborative. She does not diagnose or direct; she supports clients to build self-awareness and to practise new ways of responding. That can include talking through hurtful past events, learning coping skills for anxiety, or using brief behavioural experiments between meetings.
For someone unsure about therapy, Lyndsay offers an initial chance to see how conversations feel and what might help next. If a client wants to proceed she works alongside them to set clear, realistic goals and to review progress over time.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Her stated approaches include a person-centred way of working, cognitive behavioural techniques, and hypnotherapy. Person-centred work focuses on what the client wants to discuss and the pace they prefer, helping someone feel heard and guiding conversations toward practical or emotional concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques break down distressing thoughts and behaviours into steps that can be worked on between sessions, which is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in habits or how someone responds to stress.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Lyndsay will work with each client to decide which approaches fit best, based on their goals and preferences, and adjust as progress is reviewed. The aim is collaborative planning rather than a fixed programme.
The practical benefits of online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Many people find it simpler to join a session from a convenient location, shorten travel time, or arrange meetings around work or childcare. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use different formats, and Lyndsay can clarify which formats she currently offers when you schedule.
