Lyndsey McCartney is a bereavement and loss counsellor based in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, who combines counselling and life coaching to support people through painful transitions. With eight years of professional experience, she specialises in grief arising from the death of a loved one - including the loss of a child - and recognises that loss can also come from the death of a beloved pet or the end of a relationship.

Alongside bereavement work, Lyndsey supports people with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges and career uncertainty, bringing a warm and interactive style to sessions. She treats every person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and avoids stigmatizing labels when exploring difficulties.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Lyndsey McCartney draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s experience and goals direct the work. This approach helps people struggling with grief, relationship difficulties and life transitions to feel heard and to explore their values and choices in a compassionate setting.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression and stress. CBT offers structured techniques that can reduce symptoms and build coping skills over time.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help people develop present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can be especially useful for managing grief, rumination and intense emotions. The therapist adapts these practices to each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lyndsey works with clients to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and together they choose or combine methods that fit the situation and pace of change.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide practical flexibility, making it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving and daily life. These options increase accessibility and allow registered professionals to offer ongoing therapeutic support in formats that suit each client’s routine and comfort.
