More about Lyndsay

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am licensed in the UK with over 3 years of professional work experience.

I’m a neuroaffirming counsellor with a special focus on working with neurodivergent teenagers, young adults, and their families. I offer a safe, accepting space where you can explore what’s going on in your life without fear of judgment or pressure to be anyone other than yourself.

I work in a way that’s flexible, person-centred and supportive—tailoring sessions to suit each individual’s needs. Whether you’ve recently received a diagnosis, are considering if diagnosis might be right for you, feel overwhelmed, or just want somewhere to talk things through, this is a space where you’re met with understanding, not assumptions. My approach is rooted in the belief that neurodiversity is something to be celebrated, not “fixed,” and I’m always guided by your pace and preferences.

As well as 1:1 counselling for young people, I also work with parents of neurodivergent children and teens. With many years’ experience working closely with schools and educational settings, I can help you make sense of your child’s journey and support you in navigating the challenges that can come with parenting in a world that isn’t always built with neurodivergent needs in mind.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
