Lindsey Wheeler , BACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a UK-based therapist who brings a blend of practical experience and clinical training to her work. She draws on a long background supporting adults, couples and groups, including four years within a Therapeutic Community in a prison setting and two decades working as a prison officer, experiences that inform her calm, grounded approach to complex relational and trauma-related issues.

She focuses particularly on supporting people with ADHD and those in relationships with partners who have ADHD, and has developed specialist interest in patterns of narcissism and the scapegoating dynamic. Lindsey also works with anxiety, relationship conflict, trauma, sexual abuse, domestic and physical abuse, neglect, bullying and the impact of being scapegoated. Her practice includes help with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence challenges.

Lindsey is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to continued professional development and ethical practice. She approaches therapy with a strengths-based outlook, helping people recognise existing resources while working through uncertainty and discomfort. Lindsey aims to support clients in rebuilding direction and resilience and in finding clearer ways forward when life feels confusing or overwhelming.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy and Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build practical skills to act on those values even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise. It is often used for anxiety, motivation, and ongoing stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional responses, aiming to improve connection, trust and intimacy in relationships and to heal patterns that contribute to repeated conflict or distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming, and is commonly used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Lindsey works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt tools and pace as the work unfolds. This collaborative stance helps shape a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to connect from different locations. For many people the ability to access licensed professionals remotely increases convenience and continuity of care while allowing therapists to use familiar therapeutic approaches effectively in an online setting.
