Lindsey Wheeler , BACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a United Kingdom based therapist with ten years of clinical experience and a BACP credential - a membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy that indicates commitment to professional standards. She has worked with adults, couples, and groups, drawing on a varied background that includes four years supporting prisoners within a therapeutic community and two decades of experience as a prison officer.

Lindsey focuses much of her practice on ADHD and on helping people who are in relationships with partners who have ADHD. She also specialises in patterns of narcissism and in the scapegoating dynamic, offering support to those caught in difficult interpersonal situations. Her work extends to anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, sexual and domestic abuse, physical abuse and neglect, bullying and scapegoating, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Her approach combines evidence-informed methods with attentive listening, aiming to help clients recognise strengths they may have lost sight of and to work through uncertainty and discomfort. Lindsey believes that change often begins with one courageous step, and she is committed to supporting people as they move toward a more fulfilling and resilient way of living.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lindsey draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and EMDR in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build practical, values-driven habits even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise - it is often useful for anxiety, motivation, and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in relationships and how early and current attachments shape trust and intimacy - it can support work with relationship issues, abandonment, and attachment difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed approach that helps process distressing memories and the emotional responses tied to them, and can be helpful for people with a history of abuse, neglect, or overwhelming events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lindsey works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options, adapts interventions as progress unfolds, and partners with clients to find the best path forward.

Online therapy with Lindsey is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from different locations and at varying schedules. Working with licensed professionals remotely can provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health concerns while still receiving structured, ongoing therapeutic support.
