Lindsay Rose, BACP

Lindsay Rose moved into counselling after a long career teaching adults, teenagers and children, driven by what she observed in classrooms and staffrooms - the real cost of limited mental health support. That experience inspired a second career dedicated to offering therapeutic help to people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges and life transitions. She believes quality counselling can bring meaningful change - helping to heal childhood wounds, shift long-held perspectives, and deepen understanding of personal values, beliefs and behaviours.

Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental stance that keeps them in control of each session. Lindsay practises an integrative approach that draws on cognitive behavioural techniques, solution-focused strategies, gestalt work and person-centred therapy to match methods to the needs presented. She listens when clients need to be heard, teaches ways to challenge unhelpful thought patterns when change is the aim, and tailors sessions around any specific focus a client brings.

Lindsay has experience supporting people with trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety and specific phobias, among other concerns. Her background in English teaching makes her particularly patient with clients for whom English is a second language, helping them find words and express themselves without rush. If Lindsay may be a good fit, prospective clients are invited to get in touch to explore next steps. Lindsay holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Integrative approaches adapted for online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, low mood and stress. It is practical and skills-focused, offering tools to reframe thoughts and build coping strategies for day-to-day challenges.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process - the therapist provides acceptance, empathy and active listening so clients can explore their experiences and find their own solutions. This approach supports self-esteem, relationship issues and personal growth by creating a collaborative, respectful space.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. These practices can reduce reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation, making them useful alongside other therapeutic work.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself - Lindsay works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. It makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel, supports continuity of care for clients in different locations, and provides multiple ways to engage depending on what feels most comfortable for each person.
