Lindsay Adams

Hello, my name is Lindsay, and I am a psychotherapist based in Liverpool city center. I offer safe and supportive in-person and online therapy for children, adolescents, and adults.

I believe deeply in the power of healing and growth. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the incredible capacity people have to heal through psychotherapy. I feel privileged to support individuals on their journey toward healing and self-development.

I have found that many of the people who reach out to me cope with their emotions through rationalization or avoid them by staying busy and pursuing success. While this focus on professional and academic achievements can bring a sense of accomplishment, it often leaves people feeling unfulfilled and disconnected from their emotions, desires, and values.

In therapy, I support clients to embrace their emotions as friends rather than foes. By working through painful emotions and past events, clients can move forward in life feeling lighter and more hopeful. I have seen individuals take control of their healing and growth, untangling the knots in their minds and bodies, gaining clarity, and finding peace of mind and meaning in their lives, relationships, and careers.

As a psychotherapist, I consider it a privilege to provide a safe and creative therapeutic space for others. I aim to support clients of all ages who feel disconnected from or overwhelmed by their emotions. Therapy offers a reflective space for self-care, helping clients become more attuned to their values and true desires.

Therapy is not always easy; it often involves facing painful or shameful parts of oneself or past experiences. However, embracing emotions in a safe and gentle way is essential for moving forward. My goal is to help you work through these feelings so you can pursue a more connected and meaningful life.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey to healing and growth.

Person-Centered Therapy

In Person-Centered therapy, the therapy room is a collaborative space where you, as the client, bring your wealth of knowledge about your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. However, it's common to feel overwhelmed or find it challenging to navigate these aspects alone. That's where I step in.

My commitment is to guide you through exploring and resolving the issues you may be facing. In our sessions, I provide support as you delve into potentially painful, secret, or shameful areas. My approach is one of openness, kindness, and respect towards your journey.

The ultimate goal of therapy varies for each individual. It may involve gaining clarity about your emotions, developing strategies to manage overwhelming feelings, or uncovering hidden strengths. Together, we can work towards your personal goals, considering your unique needs and desires. Your growth and well-being are central to our collaboration.

I aim for you to feel empowered and valued as an active participant in your healing. You're encouraged to express your thoughts, voice concerns, and share experiences openly. Our sessions offer a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth.

​Creative Approaches in Psychotherapy

In traditional talk therapy, we often engage the logical parts of our brains. However, this may limit our access to deeper emotional realms. Creative Approaches in Psychotherapy bridge this gap by tapping into the emotional regions of our brains. Through creative techniques, we can explore our inner worlds more deeply.

You don't need to be artistically inclined for this process to be effective. It's not about judging the quality of your creations; it's about using creative methods to unlock emotions and experiences. In our sessions, we'll explore your mind and body, providing a safe space for expression through drawing, mindfulness, movement, music, or other outlets.

Engaging in this creative journey can lead to fresh perspectives, deeper self-understanding, and new ways to approach life's challenges. It's about empowering you to see yourself differently and symbolize your inner world in ways that resonate with your unique journey.

Child Centered Creative Therapy 

I have extensive experience working with children in schools as a psychotherapist, specializing in Child-Centered Creative Therapy. I support children facing anxiety, emotion-based school avoidance, parental separation, ADHD, autism, domestic violence, bereavement, and emotional dysregulation.

In my sessions, I have witnessed children gain confidence and express their emotions verbally and through play. Parents and teachers have reported improved relationships, better emotional understanding, and smoother school integration.

Child-Centered Therapy is a non-directive approach based on the belief that children have an innate understanding of their own needs. This method provides a structured yet open environment for children to explore themselves, fostering self-autonomy and confidence. It equips them with tools for self-regulation and a growth mindset.

The therapeutic use of play combined with creative approaches is pivotal, enabling children to experiment with various realities and process their experiences through creativity. Play, facilitated by a therapist, is integral to a child's development, helping them develop skills, explore scenarios, and access emotions that may be difficult to express verbally.

As a therapist, I provide guidance, reflect emotions, and establish boundaries, creating a safe, creative, and non-judgmental space for children to process their feelings. This approach is particularly beneficial for children who struggle to articulate or comprehend their emotions due to their cognitive development stage.
