About Lindsey
Lindsey Stafford is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of counselling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. Lindsey also helps people who struggle with codependency and attachment difficulties.
She practises in a straightforward, collaborative way. Sessions focus on what the person finds most pressing. Lindsey listens and helps people name patterns that leave them exhausted or overwhelmed. Conversations steer toward practical steps that can make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Lindsey uses several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to accept difficult feelings while committing to values-based actions. Attachment-based methods look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
Her background includes work across the public, charitable and voluntary sectors. She also spent over 20 years in education, from classroom teaching to family practitioner roles. That mix of settings shapes a down-to-earth style and an emphasis on clear goals.
Lindsey follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework, as noted by her MBACP registration. Sessions aim to be practical and steady, helping people build clearer boundaries, reduce people-pleasing habits, and manage stress without judgement.
How sessions work
Therapy approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and make space for difficult thoughts and feelings, while choosing actions that reflect what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and patterns of avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviours to change outcomes. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic and depression and gives practical tools for day-to-day problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative process lets the person adjust the focus as sessions progress.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. When arranged, online sessions can make fitting therapy around work, childcare or travel easier. They can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and make it simpler to keep continuity if life gets busy. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors can discuss practical arrangements when you schedule an initial session.
