Lindsey Wheeler, BACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a BACP-registered therapist with ten years of experience working with adults, couples and groups. Her background includes several years supporting people in therapeutic settings within the criminal justice system and extensive experience in roles that demanded resilience, compassion and practical support. She works with a broad range of concerns but currently focuses on supporting people with ADHD and partners of people with ADHD, alongside a specialism in narcissism and the dynamics of scapegoating in relationships.

Lindsey also supports clients through difficulties such as anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, sexual and domestic abuse, physical abuse and neglect, bullying, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues. She brings an understanding that losing direction in life can be painful and unsettling while holding the belief that each person has strengths to draw on. Lindsey aims to help clients identify those strengths and develop practical ways to move through challenges toward a more fulfilling life.

She offers a compassionate, strengths-focused approach and invites people to take the courageous step of seeking support. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Lindsey follows professional standards for practice while working collaboratively with clients to set goals and find the best path forward.

Approaches to Healing Online - Attachment, ACT, and EMDR

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings of safety and connection. It helps people explore attachment styles, repair relational wounds, and build more secure ways of relating to partners, family members and themselves.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance strategies with values-based action. It supports people in learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and to take practical steps toward a life that reflects their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and problems that persist despite effort to control internal experience.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. It can be helpful for those who have experienced abuse, violence, or other traumatic events and who want a structured way to work through those memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsey works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches over time.

Online therapy with Lindsey is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family and health needs, and to access registered professionals from different locations when in-person work is not possible.
