Here to help you with authentic kindness, understanding and safe support to find & place pieces in the puzzle of your life.
Counselling can provide the time and space to explore whatever you feel needs some attention, for instance:
Sometimes we all need an extra bit of space, or time just for us. As your Counsellor, I will be there, providing time, care and attention whilst we explore the parts of your life which you want to revisit. Maybe to help you resolve some of the missing pieces together.
Hi, I'm Lindsie! (she/her)
I am a qualified Counsellor with a BA (hons) in Counselling. I practice Humanistic therapy, which simply means I work predominately in a person-centred way, keeping you in the forefront of all the work we do together - no one knows you and your struggles more than you!
I am kind and caring and will treat you with respect, by listening, without criticism or judgement – offering gentle support from one person to another. We can work together collaboratively, as a team, to focus on what you would like to achieve. This can be short-term or open-ended, depending on your wishes.
I work in an inclusive way and welcome a diverse range of people from all walks of life. I have counselled people from ages ranging 11 to 89. I am a proud ally for members of LGBTQ+ community. Plus Neurodivergent/Autistic/ADHD friendly and affirming.
My only goal is to accompany you on your journey through any challenges. Hopefully together we can empower you to change what you want to change, grow through your struggles and start to move forward to where you want to be in your life.
I offer a free 30 minute introductory session (all held online for convenience) so we can get to know one another and discuss ways of working, along with any goals or specific focus you may have in mind.
I have had extensive experience surrounding counselling children and young people aged 11-18. It is something I am very passionate about. Having the privilege of being able to play a small part in helping support young people find ways of coping, to find self-acceptance, self-confidence and hopefully empowerment.
Being able to provide a safe and supportive space for people whilst they are in one of the most physically and emotionally challenging and confusing stages of life makes me proud.
I have had much training around safeguarding, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, LGBTQ+ issues, including gender, identity and sexuality. As well as building resilience, coping mechanisms and psycho-education.
I have worked both in private practice and with several young people services including YMCA Dialogue and Mable Therapy.
At least 1 in 8 men will experience mental health issues. 2 in 5 men regularly feel low mood and worried.
Suicide is still the biggest killer of men under 45.
Counselling could really make a difference. You don't need to suffer in silence.
I will not judge you and together we can hopefully help you feel happier.
I have been part of the counselling team at a local hospice. Counselling people both before and after a loss. I received comprehensive training surrounding death, loss and bereavement.
A loss of ANY kind -
... and so on, can be a very difficult process to deal with. Counselling can support you through the different elements of grief and all which may arise, ultimately helping you to develop a level of acceptance and hopefully some peace of mind.

I have been lucky enough to have had many years experience and training working in a previous caring and support role. This included older and disabled people along with supporting people with various learning disabilities, including Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and complex needs to mention a few.
I credit this work with helping me to develop myself and ultimately become Counsellor! I am grateful for my connection with the wonderful clients.
That work was the beginning of my journey into understanding more about me, others and my future direction.
It is a privilege to be able to support others on the journey.
