Lindsay Rose, BACP

Lindsay Rose transitioned into counselling after many years teaching adults, teenagers and children. Throughout her teaching career she observed how unmet mental health needs affected students and colleagues alike, and that experience led her to make counselling her second profession.

She believes that high-quality counselling can bring meaningful change - helping to heal childhood wounds, shift perspectives, and deepen understanding of personality, beliefs and behaviour. Lindsay adopts a warm, non-judgemental stance and places clients in control of the pace and focus of each session.

Her practice is integrative, drawing on cognitive behaviour therapy, solution-focused counselling, gestalt therapy and person-centred approaches. She offers attentive listening when that is needed, practical guidance for changing unhelpful thought patterns, and tailored work when clients have a specific focus or goal. Her experience includes supporting people with trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety and phobias, among other concerns.

Lindsay values working with clients for whom English is a second language, and her background in English teaching supports a patient, clear communication style. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a UK professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists. If Lindsay may be a suitable fit, prospective clients are encouraged to get in touch to explore next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action in line with their values. It supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by difficult thoughts, or uncertain about life direction by combining acceptance strategies with practical behaviour changes.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space in which the client leads the conversation. This approach helps individuals build self-awareness, self-esteem and emotional resilience, and is especially helpful when people need empathy and understanding to explore their feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies and challenges unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns and equips clients with practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lindsay works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore options and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. This range of formats makes it easier for clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
