Lyndsay Grattan is a qualified integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who works with adults across online settings, charities, and private practice. She combines several therapeutic models to tailor sessions to each person's needs, drawing on elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, client-centred work, and psychodynamic approaches to create a flexible, personalised process. Lyndsay holds professional credentials including BACP and NCPS, which reflect recognised training and membership of counselling organisations.

With three years of clinical experience, she approaches therapy with warmth, compassion, and a down-to-earth manner. Her life and work across different countries inform a non-judgemental stance and an ability to relate to people from diverse backgrounds. Respect and empowerment are central to her way of working, and she aims to support clients as they make sense of distress and move toward practical, sustainable change.

Lyndsay has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, career issues, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, chronic illness and pain, and communication or control problems. Lyndsay offers a caring presence and a collaborative approach to help clients find clearer ways forward.

Approaches that guide online therapy and how they help

Lyndsay draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and intimacy. This approach can be helpful for people coping with abandonment, attachment difficulties, relationship problems, and issues around closeness and trust.

She also works in a client-centred way, offering an empathic, non-directive space where clients' values and goals lead the work. This approach supports self-esteem, emotional processing, and personal growth by prioritising the client's experience and pace.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to build practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating problems, and stress. CBT provides concrete strategies that can be practiced between sessions to support change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lyndsay collaborates with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, drawing on practices used by licensed professionals and therapists to tailor the plan together.

Online therapy with Lyndsay is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or on the go and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for them.
