About Lindsay

Counsellor Lindsay Welton is a BACP member with 12 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Lindsay also supports clients facing life changes, relationship and family difficulties, grief and issues around intimacy and addiction.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and finding ways to manage day-to-day problems. She draws on client-centred work to listen to each person's experience and on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.

Lindsay also uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships can affect adult connections. Psychodynamic and mindfulness methods are part of her wider toolkit. These help people understand patterns and develop clearer coping choices.

Sessions tend to be calm and straightforward. People explore thoughts and feelings, try new ways of responding, and check what works between meetings. Lindsay will agree the pace and focus with each person she sees.

She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before a first session so she can match aims and practical details. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape patterns in adult life. It helps when people notice repeated difficulties in close relationships or anxiety about closeness. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says to help them find their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone needs to clarify feelings or make a decision. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and practical coping skills.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss aims and preferences, and together they will try methods that suit the person's goals. This is a collaborative process and may shift as the work proceeds.

Confirm session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options that do not require being on camera for people who prefer that. Ask about practical arrangements when you book so sessions fit everyday routines.
