Lindsay Rose , BACP

Lindsay Rose moved into counselling after many years teaching adults, teenagers and children, having witnessed firsthand how limited mental health support affected students and colleagues. That experience inspired a second career in therapy, grounded in the belief that thoughtful, quality counselling can help heal childhood wounds, shift perspectives, and deepen understanding of one’s personality and behaviour.

She offers a warm, non-judgemental style that keeps the client in control of each session. Lindsay works in an integrative way, drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques, solution-focused methods, gestalt principles and person-centred practice to tailor sessions to the needs presented. Whether someone simply needs a listening ear or wants practical tools to challenge negative thinking patterns, she adapts her approach to match the client’s goals.

Lindsay has experience supporting people with trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety and specific phobias, among other concerns. Her background in English teaching makes her especially patient and encouraging with clients for whom English is a second language, helping them find the words they need and feel understood. She holds BACP accreditation - membership of the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and welcomes enquiries from those who feel she may be the right person to help them.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Lindsay often combines practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients explore values, change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic space where the therapist follows the client’s lead, which can be especially useful for building self-esteem, resolving relationship issues and processing grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to identify and reframe negative thinking and to change behaviours that maintain distress, making it effective for anxiety, depression and many day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Lindsay works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors work over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from home or work and to choose the format that suits their schedule and comfort. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy while balancing other commitments.
