Lindsay Rose , BACP

Lindsay Rose moved into counselling after many years teaching adults, teenagers and children, having seen firsthand how limited mental health support affected students and colleagues. This experience inspired a second career focused on offering accessible, compassionate help. With four years of practice, she brings a calm, patient presence and a belief that quality counselling can make meaningful changes in people's lives - from healing childhood wounds to shifting perspectives and increasing self-understanding.

She offers a warm, non-judgemental style that keeps the client in control of each session. Lindsay works integratively, combining cognitive behaviour therapy with solution-based counselling, gestalt therapy and person-centred methods, tailoring her approach to the needs presented. Whether a client simply needs someone to listen, wants to learn techniques to challenge negative thought patterns, or prefers focused work on a specific issue, she adapts the sessions to fit those goals.

Lindsay has experience supporting people with trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety and phobias, among other concerns. Her background in English teaching helps her work patiently with clients for whom English is a second language, offering extra time and clear communication to help find the right words. Lindsay is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and welcomes inquiries from those who feel she may be a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Lindsay Rose draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work, choosing methods that match each client's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make room for valued actions rather than getting stuck in internal struggles - it can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought and behaviour patterns that maintain problems and is commonly used for anxiety, depression and phobias. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, non-judgemental space in which the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-direction, which can help with relationship issues, self-esteem and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsay works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences and circumstances, adapting techniques over time as needs evolve. Clients take an active role in deciding what feels most helpful.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging allow people to access therapy from home, work or while travelling. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
