Lyndsay Macaulay, BACP

Lyndsay Macaulay is a UK-based counsellor accredited by the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with three years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional, relational and life challenges. She works from a person-centred foundation, allowing each person to set the pace and direction of therapy, while also offering practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy to complement that approach.

Lyndsay creates a calm, supportive environment where people can explore what lies beneath their thoughts and feelings without pressure or judgement. Her practice addresses many concerns including anxiety, burnout, low mood, relationship difficulties, questions of identity, neurodivergence, family stress, grief, issues with intimacy, and feelings of being stuck or disconnected. She also works with matters such as self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

Her style is warm, steady and collaborative; she works alongside people to identify patterns, build self-awareness, and reconnect with what matters most. Whether someone is navigating trauma, parenting stresses, chronic pain, or challenges around communication and attachment, Lyndsay supports them in exploring options and discovering their own resources. Prospective clients in the United Kingdom can reach out when ready to explore whether they are a good fit for her practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lyndsay integrates person-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and hypnotherapy into online practice to meet different needs. Person-centred therapy focuses on providing an accepting, non-directive space where the client leads the conversation and explores personal values, identity, and emotional experience - useful for those seeking self-understanding and emotional support. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Hypnotherapy uses focused relaxation and guided imagery to support access to resources and changes in habits or responses, and can complement other work for issues such as sleep or habit-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lyndsay works with people to explore what feels most helpful based on their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from the United Kingdom without travel, allow continuity during life changes, and provide multiple ways to connect so people can choose what feels most manageable for them.
