About Lyndsay
Lyndsay Macaulay is a UK-based counsellor who supports adults with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy matters, eating and sleeping issues, career transitions and coping with life changes.
Lyndsay brings a calm presence and aims to make it easier to talk about hard things without pressure or judgement. She uses a person-centred foundation, which means the client sets the pace and direction of the work.
Background and approach
Lyndsay also offers cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy to give direct tools for shifting thoughts, habits and responses. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding what sits under the surface of current problems. Her style is described as warm, steady and collaborative.
She works alongside people rather than telling them what to do, and helps them notice patterns, build self-awareness and reconnect with what matters. The approach is gentle but aims to create change over time. People come to Lyndsay for a wide range of reasons, from feeling stuck or burned out to wanting clarity about identity or neurodivergence.
She pays attention to both emotional experience and day-to-day coping, so conversations can move between feelings, thinking and practical life adjustments. Lyndsay is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP. She has three years of professional experience working with adults across varied concerns and focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space to begin work together.

How Lyndsay works online
She also offers cognitive behavioural therapy, a structured method that looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT often includes practical exercises for changing unhelpful thinking and improving daily routines. Lyndsay offers hypnotherapy too, which aims to support focused change in habits and responses through guided relaxation and suggestion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lyndsay will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, adjusting the mix as things evolve.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and making it easier to maintain regular contact. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available formats before booking to ensure they match your needs. Many people appreciate the flexibility online sessions can bring when juggling work, family and other commitments.
