About me
Hello, and welcome. My name is Lindsay. I am a Masters-trained counsellor, psychotherapist, registered nurse, and coach, dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families in navigating life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.
A Safe and Confidential Space
Whatever brings you to therapy, you will be met with empathy, respect, and without judgement. My aim is to offer a confidential, supportive space where you can speak openly, gain insight, and work towards meaningful and lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem, or navigating significant life changes. At times, the source of distress is clear; at other times, you may simply feel stuck, disconnected, or aware that something in your life no longer feels quite right.
Therapy offers a safe and supportive environment to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgement. Whether you are seeking support for your mental health, looking to improve relationships, deepen self-awareness, or develop healthier coping strategies, therapy can help you gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
Online Counselling and Psychotherapy
I am based in Putney, South West London, having recently returned from living in leafy Hale, Cheshire. I offer online counselling and psychotherapy to clients across the UK and internationally.
Online therapy provides flexible and convenient access to professional support from the comfort and privacy of your own space, wherever you are in the world. Sessions are available via secure video, telephone, or online chat, allowing us to work together in the way that feels most comfortable for you.
I have been working online for many years, well before the pandemic, and have seen how effective and meaningful this form of therapy can be. Research consistently shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person work, while also offering greater flexibility and accessibility.
For clients who prefer an additional sense of privacy or ease, I also offer a secure online chat option for therapeutic support.
How I Can Help
I work with a wide range of emotional, psychological, and relationship concerns, including:
Anxiety and stress
Depression and low mood
Trauma and emotional difficulties
Grief and bereavement
Low self-esteem and confidence
Relationship and family issues
Life transitions and change
Personal development and self-discovery
Together, we will explore what matters most to you, develop a deeper understanding of your experiences, and identify practical ways to support your emotional wellbeing and personal growth.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. Therapy is not only about overcoming difficulties, but also about deepening self-awareness, improving relationships, and creating a more balanced and fulfilling life.
My Approach
I am an integrative therapist, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to ensure our work is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and preferences.
I offer a free 10–15 minute initial consultation. This gives us an opportunity to explore what brings you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and whether we feel we are a good fit to work together. We can also discuss practical details such as availability and preferred session format.
This conversation is a chance for you to ask questions, explore how therapy might help, and decide on the most appropriate next steps for you.
Professional Experience
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in accordance with its Ethical Framework, ensuring safe, ethical, and professional practice.
Before qualifying as a Masters-trained counsellor and psychotherapist, I spent over 20 years working in sales and marketing across the retail and healthcare sectors. Prior to that, I trained and worked as a registered nurse.
Alongside my private practice, I contribute wellbeing content to newspapers, magazines, and podcasts, including BBC wellbeing programmes, and am regularly invited to provide expert commentary across media platforms.
As a parent of two independent young women, I understand the complexities of balancing the many roles we hold throughout life—as parents, partners, family members, friends, and professionals. My personal and professional experiences allow me to connect with and support clients from a wide range of backgrounds.
I am currently working towards accreditation as an ICF-certified coach, further enhancing the support I offer to clients seeking clarity, growth, and positive change.
Why Consider Counselling or Psychotherapy?
There are times when it can feel difficult to talk openly with friends or family. Counselling and psychotherapy offer a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely and at your own pace.
Therapy can help you gain perspective, improve emotional wellbeing, strengthen relationships, develop healthier coping strategies, and feel more in control of your life.
Get in Touch
If you are looking for an experienced counsellor or psychotherapist in South West London, or seeking support with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or personal development, I would be glad to speak with you about how therapy may help.
I offer daytime and early evening appointments and welcome enquiries from clients locally, across the UK, and internationally.
Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange your free initial consultation.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
