Lyndsay Macaulay, BACP

Lyndsay Macaulay is a UK-based counsellor accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - with three years of professional experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. She bases her practice on a person-centred approach, allowing the individual to set the pace and direction of the work, while also offering cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy as complementary methods.

Lyndsay creates a calm, supportive space where people can speak openly, explore what lies beneath surface reactions, and begin to make sense of thoughts and feelings without pressure or judgement. People come to her for many reasons, including anxiety, burnout, low mood, relationship difficulties, questions of identity, understanding neurodivergence, family stress, or simply feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.

She holds a strong belief in the capacity for growth and healing when someone feels understood and truly heard. Her style is warm, steady, and collaborative - working alongside clients rather than directing or diagnosing - and she helps individuals explore patterns, build self-awareness, and reconnect with what matters most. For those considering therapy, Lyndsay is available to discuss whether they might be a good fit when they are ready.

Evidence-based approaches for effective online care

Lyndsay integrates person-centred work with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy to suit each person's needs. The person-centred approach focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead so they can explore feelings and priorities at their own pace. CBT offers practical techniques for identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Hypnotherapy is offered as an adjunctive method to support relaxation and access underlying patterns that someone wishes to change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lyndsay works collaboratively to determine what will best meet a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options, adapts methods over time, and supports people in selecting directions that feel manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy with Lyndsay is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while managing work, family, and other commitments, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
