Lindsey Wheeler

Lindsey Wheeler is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and around ten years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with relationship problems, anger, grief and issues linked to trauma. Lindsey writes in a direct, practical way and aims to help people take manageable steps forward.

She has a background supporting people in therapeutic settings connected to the criminal justice system and has held roles in custody and therapeutic communities. That experience shaped her approach to complex emotional problems and difficult relationship dynamics. Lindsey now focuses on supporting people affected by ADHD in themselves or in partners, and those dealing with narcissistic or scapegoating dynamics.

Sessions tend to cover practical coping strategies, clearer communication in relationships, and ways to rebuild self-esteem and motivation after loss or abuse. She draws on several approaches to match a person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone. Lindsey helps people identify immediate steps they can try between sessions.

Her work includes supporting people with anxiety, sexual abuse, domestic and physical abuse, neglect, bullying, and long-term health or caregiver stress. She also helps with issues around eating, sleep, career pressures, and co-occurring problems such as addiction or bipolar concerns.

People who value a straightforward, steady presence and a focus on practical change may find her style helpful. Sessions are offered in English and Lindsey is based in the United Kingdom.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Lindsey uses approaches that help people understand patterns and make practical changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose values-based actions despite them. It is often used for anxiety, motivation and managing strong emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to improve connection and trust. It can be helpful when communication, intimacy or repeated relationship hurts are a concern.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and content of sessions. This approach supports people who need time to find their own solutions and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will talk with each person about goals and preferences and select or combine methods that fit those needs. That choice happens collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats she currently offers before booking. Confirming formats helps plan around work, childcare or travel. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to appointments.
