About Lyndsay
Lyndsay Macaulay helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low mood and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, grief, self-esteem struggles, eating or sleep problems, career changes and coping with life transitions. Lyndsay works with adults who want a calm place to talk and make sense of what they are feeling.
She uses a person-centred way of working that lets the client set the pace and direction.
Background and approach
That means sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, rather than following a rigid plan. Lyndsay also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy alongside that core approach. Sessions aim to be warm and steady.
Lyndsay listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Practical tools are offered when they suit the person’s goals and situation. Her background includes three years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That membership indicates she follows recognised standards for practice in the United Kingdom. People seeking help can expect a collaborative relationship rather than a directive one. Lyndsay concentrates on building understanding, strengthening coping skills and supporting small steps towards change.
She aims to help people regain a sense of choice and direction in their lives.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. The therapist and client try practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and develop different ways of responding. This can be useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems and low mood.
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help change habits or reduce distress. It is often used alongside talking therapy to support behaviour change, confidence and coping with difficult memories.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's goals and adjust the plan over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face contact when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or people who find writing easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy lives while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
