Lyndsay Grattan , BACP, NCPS

Lyndsay Grattan is a qualified integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who works with adults across online services, charities and private practice. She blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred approaches and psychodynamic thinking to shape therapy around each person’s needs, adapting tools and perspectives so clients can address the issues most important to them.

She believes that everyone encounters difficulties at times and deserves the opportunity to understand what is causing distress while working toward meaningful change and improved mental health. Having lived for four years in mainland UK and ten years in the USA, she brings broad life experience and a familiarity with diverse cultures that informs a non-judgemental, accepting approach.

Lyndsay offers an authentic, welcoming and down-to-earth way of working where respect and empowerment sit at the heart of the therapeutic relationship. Her manner is warm and relatable, and she aims to be alongside clients as they take steps toward their goals. She has experience supporting people presenting with anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, stress, loneliness, procrastination, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, addiction, abuse, eating disorders, self-harm and suicidal ideation.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate professional training and membership of recognised counselling organisations, and she would be honoured to support clients in their journey toward positive change and greater wellbeing.

Integrative approaches and online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current ways of relating. It helps people explore patterns of closeness, trust and abandonment to develop more secure and satisfying connections in adult life.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive partnership where the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard. This approach supports self-exploration, self-acceptance and personal growth for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, depression and stress. It is often used to build coping strategies and break negative cycles that maintain distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lyndsay will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and maintain continuity of care, while allowing people to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from the places that suit them best.
