Practical therapeutic approaches and online support
Lindsay commonly blends person-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to address emotional distress and life difficulties. Person-centred therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a space where the client’s own insights and choices are central - it can help with self-esteem, grief, and navigating change. Cognitive behavioural therapy identifies the thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems like anxiety and low mood, and offers practical strategies and exercises to reduce symptoms and build more helpful habits. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce stress when that approach fits the client’s needs.
Lindsay approaches treatment collaboratively, recognising that finding the right therapeutic method is part of the work. She will discuss options, try different techniques as appropriate, and tailor the plan to the client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances so the approach evolves together.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or who live at a distance. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access regular support from registered professionals, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
