About Lindsay
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience, Lindsay Westwood works with stress, anxiety, trauma and loss. She uses Client-Centred Therapy and draws on a background in psychology, creative practice and counselling to help people who are coping with major life changes. Sessions focus on identifying what matters now and finding practical steps forward.
Lindsay believes people have their own resources and insights. In sessions she listens, reflects and helps make unconscious patterns clearer. She offers straightforward psychoeducation when useful and supports people to set realistic goals and learn new coping skills.
Her work has included grief and loss during the pandemic and support for people affected by adverse childhood experiences, sexual abuse, anger, substance misuse in families, and online sexual risk. She has more than 2,000 hours of counselling experience and runs mindfulness practice groups and inner child workshops alongside one-to-one work.
Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental approach that lets them explore past and present issues. Lindsay uses person-centred methods as a base and adapts her practice to the issue at hand. She draws on mindful awareness and trauma models to inform how she notices patterns and responses in the room.
Professional development is ongoing and Lindsay is accountable to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Practical aims in sessions include clearer decision making, rebuilding trust in yourself, and learning coping strategies to manage emotions and daily demands.

How her client-centred approach works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and the client's own experience. It helps people who are feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed to notice their patterns and access their own solutions. Lindsay uses this as a foundation for one-to-one work and for discussions about life changes or relationship struggles.She also integrates mindful awareness into sessions, offering practical breathing and attention techniques to help manage anxiety, grief and stress. These practices are taught in short, usable steps so people can try them between sessions. When trauma-related issues arise she draws on trauma-informed ways of understanding the person’s reactions to help plan safe, paced work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lindsay will work collaboratively to decide whether person-centred listening, mindfulness practice, or trauma-informed techniques best suit the current needs and goals. The choice is reviewed as therapy progresses and adjusted to what the client finds most helpful.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. Different ways of meeting also permit quieter conversations or shorter practical sessions when schedules demand, and the therapist will help choose what fits a client's routine and needs.
