About me
I’m Lindsay, a qualified counsellor based in Sanderstead and online nationwide. Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for support isn't always easy. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever is on your mind.
I believe that by making sense of our experiences, we can better understand our thoughts, emotions and behaviours, begin to heal from past wounds, and develop healthier ways of coping. My role is not to give advice or tell you what decisions to make, but to walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges. Together, we'll work at your pace to help you gain insight, build resilience, and move towards the life you want to live.
I am an integrative counsellor, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor my work to meet your individual needs. I recognise that every person is unique, and there is no single approach that works for everyone. By combining different theories and techniques, I can adapt our sessions to support you in a way that feels most helpful and meaningful for you.
I support adults with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties and life changes. I can also support you with panic, emotional overwhelm, anger, loneliness, work-related stress, and feelings of being stuck or lost.

Finding the right counsellor is an important part of the therapeutic process. I offer a free introductory telephone call where we can discuss what has brought you to counselling, what you're hoping to achieve, and whether I feel I am the right person to support you. This also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions and decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.
