About Lyndsey
Lyndsey McCartney is a counsellor who draws on eight years of experience to support people facing loss, grief and everyday struggles. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works in the United Kingdom. Lyndsey aims to make the first step feel manageable and offers a warm, respectful space to begin that work.
Her background includes work with bereavement and loss in many forms, including the death of a pet, the end of a marriage, and job or health losses. She also helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief and career uncertainty. Money and financial issues are listed among the additional concerns she can address alongside midlife questions and life purpose.
Sessions are interactive and tailored. Lyndsey combines client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She also draws on psychodynamic thinking and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and find motivation for change.
In practice she focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions, alongside space to talk and reflect. That might mean setting small goals, trying breathing or grounding exercises, or looking at how past experiences shape current worries. The emphasis is on what feels useful to the individual.
People who reach out can expect a compassionate, non-judgemental approach. Lyndsey aims to work collaboratively, helping each person decide which ideas to follow and which to adapt as their situation changes.
Approaches that shape online work and support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs empathy and space to make sense of things. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and ground strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest which ideas to try first. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as you learn what helps you most.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises and homework tasks between sessions, helping therapeutic ideas become part of everyday routines.
