About Lyndsay

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. Lyndsay Macaulay supports adults with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, career questions, and coping with life changes. She uses person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy to help people make sense of their thoughts and feelings.

Lyndsay keeps sessions client-led. She helps people set the pace and direction while offering practical strategies when they want them. That can mean short-term focus on unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, or gentler exploration of deeper patterns that affect relationships and identity.

People contact her for a wide range of situations: burnout, ongoing worry, feeling stuck, managing family stress, questions about neurodivergence, or difficulties with intimacy and communication. She also works with concerns around chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image, dissociation and the aftermath of domestic violence.

Her approach combines listening with concrete tools. Cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT) are used to identify and change thinking and behaviour patterns. Hypnotherapy may be offered to support relaxation and address habits or sleep disruption. The person-centred element means the client’s priorities guide what happens in sessions.

Lyndsay aims to help people increase self-awareness and build manageable routines for daily life. She supports exploration of values, communication habits and coping skills so people can make clearer choices. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location.

How her approaches translate to online work

Person-centred work focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions preserve that client-led pace, allowing conversations about identity, relationships and day-to-day stresses to unfold while the therapist reflects and asks clarifying questions.

Cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT) involve spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and trying practical changes. Online CBT can include setting small tasks between sessions, monitoring mood and practising new coping steps that fit into everyday life.

Hypnotherapy is used to encourage relaxation and address habits such as sleep disruption or anxiety-driven behaviours. Remotely this often involves guided relaxation and imagery exercises that the client practices during or between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that suit the person, and adjust the plan together based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a shorter encounter is useful. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to support continuity of care.
