About Lyndsey
Counsellor registered in Northern Ireland with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), with eight years' experience. Lyndsey McCartney focuses on bereavement and loss alongside common concerns such as anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also addresses parenting stress, career difficulties and compassion fatigue.
Lyndsey describes loss broadly, including bereavement after the death of a person or a pet. She also helps people facing non-death losses, for example separation, changes in health or job loss. Sessions aim to recognise what has been lost and to make space to talk about the emotional impact.
Her work draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural thinking and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions include practical conversation, reflective listening and learning about mental health and wellbeing. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness inform her work when relevant.
Lyndsey frames sessions as interactive and non-judgemental. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on what the individual wants to change or understand. Practical techniques and discussion are used alongside exploration of feelings and past experiences.
People come to her for help with grief, anxiety, parenting pressures, relationship questions and career crossroads. She can also address themes such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, loneliness and life purpose. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site.

How Lyndsey uses core approaches in online work
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows what matters to the person and helps them find their own solutions; this approach is useful for grief, relationship concerns and life changes.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical strategies to reduce distress. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and stress. This can be useful alongside other approaches when the aim is improved day-to-day coping.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Lyndsey will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the plan over time. Early sessions often focus on understanding the issue and trying a few practical steps to see what helps.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use online sessions to offer consistent, scheduled support that fits into everyday life.
