Lyndsay Grattan , BACP, NCPS

Lyndsay Grattan is an integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who brings a practical, person-focused approach to working with adults across online settings, charities, and private practice. With three years of professional experience, she blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centred work, and psychodynamic thinking to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Lyndsay holds the credentials BACP and NCPS - indicating membership and additional professional training with recognised counselling bodies - and she frames her practice around respect, empowerment, and straightforward support.

Lyndsay believes that everyone at some point faces difficulties that deserve attention and understanding, and she aims to help people make sense of distress while moving toward positive change. Having spent four years living in mainland UK and ten years living in the USA, she brings life experience working with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds and emphasises a non-judgemental, accepting stance in sessions.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety and panic, low self-esteem and depression, relationship and family issues, grief and trauma, addiction and abuse, eating and sleep problems, parenting and career challenges, and difficulties such as codependency, attachment and intimacy-related issues. Lyndsay works in a warm, down-to-earth manner and offers supportive, collaborative care aimed at practical change and improved wellbeing.

Approaches and online therapy for meaningful change

Lyndsay commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with people online. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape present connections and helps address issues such as attachment difficulties, relationship anxiety, and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where a person’s own insights and strengths guide change, which can support self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional coping. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Lyndsay works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These formats make it easier to access support from licensed professionals and therapists without travel, while still allowing focused, goal-oriented work and ongoing contact between sessions.
