Evidence-based approaches for effective online support
Lyndsay draws on person-centred practice, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client leads the discussion and sets goals. This approach is useful for people who want a reflective, empathetic environment to explore their thoughts and feelings.She also offers cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical method that helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, low mood and stress by supporting clearer thinking and coping strategies.
Hypnotherapy is available as an adjunctive technique to support relaxation and focus, often used alongside other approaches to help with habits, sleep and managing emotional responses. Registered professionals may integrate it with other work depending on client preference.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lyndsay works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals and preferences and will help identify which techniques fit best for the situation and stage of therapy.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support from home or work. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with a registered professional.
