About Lyndsey
Lyndsey McCartney is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has eight years of experience and describes her work with bereavement, loss and related difficulties including grief after the death of a child, loss of relationship, health or work, and pet loss. Lyndsey also works with anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting challenges and career concerns.
Her style is interactive and respectful. Sessions mix practical conversation with reflection. She avoids labels and aims to help people understand what they are feeling and why it matters.
Lyndsey draws on several approaches to shape sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the focus on personal experience and the person’s own priorities. Mindfulness helps people notice their thoughts and body responses without getting swept away.
She also integrates elements of psychodynamic work to look at past patterns that affect current relationships. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to make changes but feel stuck or unsure where to begin. Together these methods are used to set clear, practical steps and to talk through difficult emotions like guilt and shame.
Lyndsey works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Practical arrangements such as formats and costs use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, so people are advised to confirm the current session options before booking.
How Lyndsey uses therapeutic approaches online
Lyndsey commonly blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and acting, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stuck patterns. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s experience and priorities, helping sessions follow what matters most to the client. Mindfulness work teaches simple ways to observe thoughts and bodily reactions so strong feelings feel more manageable.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which methods to try. That means sessions can shift over time as needs change, rather than sticking to one single method from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, thought records and mindfulness practices to suit an online setting, and the therapist will explain how to use those tools in daily life.
