About Lyndsey
Lyndsey McCartney is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings eight years of experience to her work. Lyndsey focuses on bereavement and loss alongside a wide range of everyday struggles.
She writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried about starting therapy. Lyndsey offers a warm and interactive style. Sessions are built around respect, sensitivity and practical care.
Background and approach
She avoids labelling and prefers to talk about problems in straightforward terms. In a session she will listen first and then help people find realistic next steps. Her approach combines client-centred ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking.
She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support change. That mix means she can help with thoughts, feelings and patterns that keep causing pain. Common concerns she works with include grief, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and parenting issues, and career or life changes.
Lyndsey also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. She can help with anger, self-esteem, social anxiety, money worries and finding a clearer life direction. Sessions include chance to talk, practical tools to try between meetings, and reflection on past patterns that matter now.
People leave with clearer goals and small steps to move forward. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy process and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How Lyndsey works online
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Lyndsey will discuss your goals, preferences and what has helped you before. Together you will try methods that suit your needs and adjust them as you go so the plan stays practical and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are currently offered before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into their routines and less time-consuming than travel. It can allow shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work or caring responsibilities, and access from where you already are. Registered or accredited professionals often combine talking, worksheets and short between-session tasks to keep progress moving when life feels busy.
