About Lindsey
BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP with ten years' experience, Lindsey Stafford helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting strain, depression, family conflict, anger and self-esteem concerns.
Lindsey describes her practice as open and collaborative. She works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's Ethical Framework. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes several years of counselling in public, charitable and voluntary settings. She also has over 20 years' experience in education, including teaching and work as a family practitioner. That mix informs a direct but flexible style aimed at everyday problems.
Clinical approaches Lindsey uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She draws on these methods to help with issues such as panic attacks, codependency, substance addiction, communication problems and workplace stress.
In sessions Lindsey takes a straightforward tone. Conversations are practical and grounded. People can expect to talk through current difficulties, try specific exercises, and review what helped or did not between sessions.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she holds MBACP registration. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How Lindsey's approaches apply to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress where unhelpful thoughts get in the way of practical steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behaviour through structured exercises and homework. CBT is commonly applied to panic, depression and anxiety symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will discuss different methods and agree a way of working with each person. The choice is based on the client’s goals, practical needs and which techniques prove useful in session.
The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, education and family commitments. It also allows for shorter check-ins, reduced travel time and the option to choose whether to use video or audio depending on what suits the person.
