About Lindsey
Lindsey Hemmings is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes at work, in relationships, or with health. Common concerns she sees include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, alongside coping with life changes and questions about life purpose.
She uses psychodynamic therapy to help people notice patterns that affect current choices. Sessions often look at past relationships and emotional habits to understand why certain situations keep repeating. Lindsey invites clients to talk through difficult feelings and memories so those patterns become clearer.
Her approach is conversational and reflective. She listens for recurring themes such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, control issues, shame and guilt. These themes are linked back to current problems like loneliness, relationship breakdown, midlife reassessment, or struggles after infidelity.
Lindsey also supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress, avoidant personality tendencies, and the fallout of divorce or separation. She works with clients who want to improve self-love, forgiveness, or rebuild confidence after loss.
Practical steps are part of the work. Sessions can include looking at how daily habits reinforce old responses and testing small changes between meetings. The aim is to help people find clearer ways to make decisions and move forward when life feels uncertain.
Psychodynamic approaches and online working
Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns that run beneath everyday choices. It looks at past relationships and repeated emotional responses to help people understand why they feel stuck. This approach can be useful for anxiety, grief, chronic low mood and issues connected to attachment and codependency.The therapist frames sessions as a collaborative process. Together they will try different ways of working to see what fits best for the client's needs and goals. That means reviewing what comes up in sessions and adjusting focus as practical concerns or priorities change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online meetings help fit therapy into a busy week, make it easier to keep appointments around work, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Others prefer in-person meetings where offered; the therapist will discuss which arrangement suits the client's daily routine and comfort when arranging the first appointment.
