About Lyndsay
Lyndsay Grattan offers calm, straightforward support for adults feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or life changes. She writes simply and listens carefully so people can say what matters. Her approach is down-to-earth and aimed at helping clients work out practical next steps.
She uses an integrative style that draws on several approaches to suit the person in front of her. That means sessions might mix talk-based exploration with practical exercises, mindfulness practices, or looking at long-standing patterns.
Background and approach
Lyndsay describes her way of working as warm, non-judgemental and respectful. Lyndsay holds BACP and NCPS credentials. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
NCPS is the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She has practised in a range of settings including online services, charities and independent practice across the UK and the US. Her experience includes supporting people with anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, stress, grief, trauma, addiction and eating-related issues.
She also helps with relationship and communication problems, coping with change, and managing burnout and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on finding what helps in daily life and building clearer ways forward. Clients can expect a straightforward, empathetic approach that balances listening with practical tools.
Lyndsay aims to empower people so they can make gradual changes and feel more able to cope with challenges.
How Lyndsay’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current reactions; it can help when people notice repeated difficulties with trust, closeness or abandonment. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening carefully and reflecting back to help people make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Lyndsay works collaboratively to identify what fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts methods as the work progresses. Together they decide whether more reflective or more practical work is best at any stage.
Online formats offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep eye contact and use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing helps someone organise their thoughts. These options give flexibility to fit sessions around work, family and everyday life.
