Lindsey Wheeler , BACP

Lindsey Wheeler is a UK-based therapist with 10 years of clinical experience supporting adults, couples and groups. She brings a background of working in challenging settings, including four years supporting residents in a Therapeutic Community within a prison and two decades of prior experience as a prison officer, which inform her calm, practical approach to complex problems.

She focuses on supporting people affected by ADHD - including those who have ADHD and those in relationships with partners who do - and specialises in dynamics related to narcissism and scapegoating. Lindsey also works with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, sexual abuse, domestic and physical abuse, neglect, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues.

Her clinical practice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, EMDR and Psychodynamic Therapy to tailor support to each person. Lindsey emphasises clients' existing strengths and works collaboratively to help them move through uncertainty and discomfort toward more fulfilling ways of living. She encourages the courage it takes to seek change and offers steady, compassionate support to those ready to take the first step.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed steps toward meaningful goals. It is often used for anxiety, low motivation and long-term stress where values-based action can make a difference. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, helping clients to understand and reshape patterns in intimacy, communication and trust. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, and it is commonly used for PTSD and other trauma-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lindsey collaborates with each person to determine what will fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods based on what is helpful in practice rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy with Lindsey can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, commuting challenges or clients living elsewhere. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while working toward practical, real-world changes.
