Lyndsay Grattan, BACP, NCPS

Lyndsay Grattan is a qualified integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who works with adults across online settings, charities, and private practice. She combines a range of therapeutic techniques so that each programme of care can be shaped to the individual - drawing on elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred work, and psychodynamic approaches to meet specific needs and goals. Lyndsay holds the credentials BACP and NCPS, which indicate recognised professional counselling registrations and membership of counselling bodies.

She believes that everyone encounters moments of difficulty and deserves space to make sense of what is causing distress while taking steps toward positive change and improved wellbeing. Her own life experience, including periods spent living both in mainland UK and in the USA, has informed an ability to work with people from varied cultural backgrounds with an open, non-judgemental stance.

Lyndsay describes her therapeutic style as authentic, down-to-earth, and relatable, with respect and empowerment at its core. She works alongside clients to offer steady support through challenging times. She has experience supporting people with anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, stress, loneliness, procrastination, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, addiction, abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. Warm and compassionate by nature, she aims to help clients move toward meaningful change and greater wellbeing, and she welcomes the opportunity to work together.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Lyndsay

Lyndsay integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours - helping clients develop practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities, supporting personal growth and self-understanding in matters like self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence present-day connections, which can be especially helpful for clients dealing with abandonment, intimacy issues, or complex relational histories.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lyndsay works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel supported in choosing a path that fits them.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more frequent contact can be arranged through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or mobility needs while maintaining continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists.
