Lindsey Wheeler , BACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a United Kingdom based therapist who works with adults, couples and groups, bringing extensive practical experience to her clinical practice. Her background includes supporting people in a Therapeutic Community within a prison setting for four years, following a long career as a prison officer, and this experience informs a calm, grounded approach to complex and traumatic presentations.

Lindsey focuses on supporting people with ADHD and those in relationships affected by a partner's ADHD, and she has developed a particular interest in patterns of narcissism and scapegoating. She has considerable experience helping clients cope with anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma including sexual and domestic violence, physical abuse and neglect, bullying, grief and loss, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem and confidence.

Lindsey draws on multiple therapeutic approaches to tailor support to each person, and she emphasizes clients' strengths while offering compassionate guidance through uncertainty and change. She encourages the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling life and aims to help clients move toward greater wellbeing and resilience. Lindsey holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting professional standards and ongoing development.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions tailored to your needs

Lindsey draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and EMDR as part of a flexible online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them while identifying valued actions - it can support issues like anxiety, low motivation and problems with self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust, and it can be helpful for intimacy-related problems, abandonment concerns and ongoing relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that assists many people in processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lindsey works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Lindsey is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without travelling, helping people sustain momentum and integrate therapy into everyday life.
