About Lyndsey

Lyndsey McCartney is a therapist based in the United Kingdom who draws on eight years of clinical experience to support people navigating grief, loss and a wide range of life challenges. She specialises in bereavement and loss - including the death of a child and the loss of pets - and also works with depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, trauma and abuse, career concerns and stress-related issues. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation, midlife questions and building self-worth.

Her style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Lyndsey blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic ideas to create practical, personalised plans that respond to each person’s needs. She also incorporates mindfulness and coaching techniques when helpful to build coping skills and support long-term wellbeing.

Lyndsey holds BACP and NCPS credentials - BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and NCPS denotes a recognised professional counselling credential - and uses that training to guide collaborative, goal-focused work. She encourages people who are ready to explore change to take the step toward a more fulfilling life and offers supportive guidance throughout that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the pace of work. It is helpful for people who need a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to explore feelings about loss, relationships and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress and practical problems by building concrete skills for coping and problem solving.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions. It can support people dealing with grief, overwhelm and chronic stress by strengthening the ability to notice experience without being driven by it.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Lyndsey works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps shape a tailored plan that can adapt as those needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - so people can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and use different communication styles for different stages of the work, while working with licensed professionals and therapists experienced in remote practice.
