Lyndsay Grattan, BACP, NCPS

Lyndsay Grattan is a qualified integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who works with adults across online services, charitable settings, and private practice. She combines techniques from several therapeutic models so treatment is tailored to each person rather than following a single formula. Her integrative practice draws on elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centred approaches, and psychodynamic thinking to address the specific concerns brought into sessions.

Lyndsay believes that everyone faces difficulties at times and deserves the opportunity to understand what is causing their distress while moving toward positive change. Having lived for four years in mainland UK and ten years in the USA, she brings wide life experience and an ability to work respectfully with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. She aims to create a welcoming, non-judgemental environment grounded in respect and empowerment.

Her work includes support for anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, stress, loneliness, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, addiction and eating-related issues, among other concerns. Lyndsay lists her credentials as BACP and NCPS - BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS is an additional professional credential she holds. She describes her approach as warm, compassionate and down to earth, and she offers collaborative support to help clients move toward positive change.

Approach-focused care via online therapy

Lyndsay draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape expectations of closeness and safety, helping clients address patterns that affect current relationships and emotional responses. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting, empathetic space where the client leads the pace of change and the therapist offers support through active listening and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a key element of her work, focusing on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lyndsay works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant to what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while fitting care into everyday life.
