About me
Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or low? Self-doubts, self-criticisms, worries your norm? You might identify with the terms perfectionist, procrastinator or people pleaser, all 3 even. Maybe you're leaning on those unhealthy coping strategies like overworking all too often. You might have relationship difficulties such as trust issues or taking rejection hard. You may feel like you’re treading on eggshells, questioning "is it them or me?" Wondering if the past has affected you or you might be unsure- it wasn't that bad surely? Do you want to know why you feel like this and how to find peace and contentment without feeling that the past is holding you back?
Hi, I'm Lindsey, a clinical psychologist, here to help. I'm experienced working with a wide range of difficulties, specialising in trauma. The struggles above are often linked to painful or lacking early experiences. I aim to provide a safe space where we work together, with curiosity and warmth, to make sense of the stuckness and consider possible next steps.
I help people understand and handle distress and move from surviving to thriving. I prefer non-medical terms for the human experience of emotional pain and suffering. The most important question being "what happened to you?", rather than "what's wrong with you?". I believe humans are incredible at adapting to adversity. Humans don't break, we just get stuck. And therapy aims to help you get unstuck bit by bit.
Training, qualifications & experience
Seeking a therapist is daunting. You've possibly tried therapy before and the benefits might have been short lived or they just didn't seem to get you or your problems. Why not this time put your trust in a highly qualified, experienced professional? Since qualifying 22 years ago I have specialised in wellbeing and trauma so you can have confidence in my skills and dedication.
University of Teesside - Doctorate in Clinical Psychology 2002
I completed full accredited training in EMDR parts 1-4 in 2019. I have extensive trainings in CBT, ACT and CFT and trauma-focussed therapies. I value regular individual and group clinical supervision. I'm influenced by Pete Walker's work on trauma and am exploring inner child work in different modalities.

Additional information
I offer a free 15 minute introductory chat on the phone or online giving you the opportunity to tell me what you are seeking help with, ask me any questions, and I can advise if I feel that therapy with me could be helpful for you. You will then decide whether you wish to go ahead and book a full session. The fee of £130 is for a brief assessment session or a standard therapy session, and lasts 50-60 minutes. Longer sessions for comprehensive assessments or therapy where suitable (such as for EMDR) are available on request at the same fee pro rata. I am able to provide services funded through a number of health insurance companies. If yours is not on the list please do enquire.

Further information
The benefits of my clinical psychology training and learning through my career are that I've developed a broad knowledge of, and specialised skills in several therapy approaches. This enables me to flexibly integrate these approaches and tailor an individualised therapy for each unique person I see. The therapeutic relationship is central to everything and I find ACT, CFT and EMDR can be helpful to many.
I offer individual therapy and clinical supervision, face to face and online. Face to face is in a comfortable therapy room in Huddersfield, with free parking, 10 minutes drive off J24 of the M62. Easily accessible from Huddersfield, 10 minute taxi or one short bus ride.
