Lindsey Wheeler, BACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works with adults on issues including relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, ADHD and anger. She also helps with addictions, sleeping and eating difficulties, career stress and aspects of bipolar disorder.

Before her current work she spent years supporting people in custodial settings, including four years in a therapeutic community. That background informs her practical style and her focus on safety and structure in sessions. Lindsey has experience working with people from many communities and with a wide range of life problems.

In conversation she uses straightforward, person-focused methods. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live around difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-based and client-centred approaches shape how she looks at relationships and connection in a person’s life.

She also works with trauma by using trauma-focused techniques, including eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, when appropriate. Lindsey aims to work through painful memories at a pace people can manage. She offers space to talk about what’s happening now and how past patterns still affect daily life.

People consult her for practical help with anger - snapping at loved ones, work frustration or resentment that builds over time. She supports parents with parenting strain, people coping with loss, and those dealing with chronic illness or caregiving stress. Lindsey encourages small, manageable steps towards clearer thinking and steadier reactions.

To begin she asks people to describe their current difficulties and what they hope will change. That helps shape a plan of action, combining short-term techniques with deeper work where needed. Sessions focus on reducing disruption to everyday life and increasing choices about how to respond.
