Lindsey Stafford is a counsellor who helps people with depression, anxiety, stress and addiction.
About Lindsey
Lindsey Stafford is a counsellor who helps people with depression, anxiety, stress and addiction. She works in a straightforward, warm way and focuses on what each person needs. Lindsey is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP, and brings ten years of counselling experience to her work.
She uses practical talking methods that aim to reduce distress and build useful skills. Sessions are collaborative and honest.
Background and approach
Lindsey offers warmth, patience and a down-to-earth style to help people feel heard and understood. Before specialising in counselling, Lindsey spent over 20 years working in education. That background included teaching and roles as a family practitioner, which gave her experience with school and community concerns.
She has also worked in public, charitable and voluntary settings. Lindsey draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and acceptance-based techniques to help people live with difficult feelings.
Attachment-focused work helps when relationships and early experiences affect current wellbeing. Her areas of focus include grief, parenting stresses, family problems, low self-esteem, anger and issues linked to discrimination or isolation. She also supports people dealing with panic, substance misuse and the practical challenges of young adulthood.
Sessions aim to be practical, focused and caring.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting patterns in thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and clear strategies to reduce panic, rework unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape present reactions. Working on these patterns can ease relationship stress, loneliness and issues with trust or abandonment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different ways of working. The plan is adjusted over time so the methods fit the person rather than the other way round.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into busy lives and to keep continuity between appointments.
