Lindsay Rose , BACP

Lindsay Rose moved into counselling after many years spent teaching adults, teenagers and children, having observed how limited mental health support affected both students and colleagues. That experience prompted a second career devoted to helping people find greater understanding and resilience in their lives. She believes that quality counselling can heal childhood wounds, shift perspectives, and illuminate how personality, beliefs and behaviours interact to shape experience.

Lindsay offers a warm, non-judgemental style that keeps each person in control of the session. She practises an integrative approach, drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques, solution-focused counselling, gestalt methods and person-centred therapy to meet each client where they are. If someone needs space to speak, she listens attentively; if the aim is to address negative thought patterns, she provides structured guidance and teaches practical ways to challenge those thoughts. Sessions can be tailored to a specific focus when required.

Her clinical work has included support for trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety and phobias, among other concerns. Lindsay also values working with people for whom English is a second language - her background in English teaching helps her stay patient and clear when clients are finding words. Those who feel she may be the right person to help are encouraged to get in touch. Lindsay Rose holds BACP, a membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work

Lindsay Rose draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT offers clear, practical tools for tackling anxiety, low mood and phobic responses by breaking problems into manageable steps and teaching skills to reframe thoughts.

She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on providing a supportive, non-judgemental environment where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness and strengthen self-esteem through empathic listening and acceptance.

Lindsay may incorporate mindfulness-based ideas to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity; simple practices can support stress management and increase emotional balance over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lindsay works collaboratively to determine which methods best suit each person's needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life or access support from different locations. These formats allow Lindsay and clients to focus on meaningful change while maintaining convenience and continuity of care.
