Lindsey Wheeler , BACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a United Kingdom based therapist with 10 years of professional experience and membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has supported adults, couples, and groups across a range of settings, including four years working within a therapeutic community in a prison and many years prior service as a prison officer. Lindsey draws on that varied background when working with people who face complex relationship dynamics and trauma.

Her current focus includes supporting people with ADHD and those in relationships affected by ADHD, alongside a special interest in narcissism and scapegoating patterns. She also works with anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma including sexual and domestic abuse, physical neglect, bullying, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Lindsey aims to help clients recognise their strengths and navigate periods of uncertainty and discomfort with practical and psychological support.

Her approach is collaborative and grounded in established clinical methods, and she seeks to create a space where people can explore challenges, rebuild confidence, and move toward a more fulfilling life. Lindsey encourages the courageous first step of reaching out for support and offers steady guidance through change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Lindsey often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values, learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it can help with anxiety, low motivation, and unhelpful behavioural patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current patterns of connection and trust, which can be especially useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and recurring relationship difficulties.

When trauma is a central concern, Lindsey may also draw on EMDR techniques to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Choosing an approach is collaborative - Lindsey will work with each person to identify the methods that best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing people to meet with licensed professionals by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, connect across distances, and continue work consistently while juggling other responsibilities.
