Lyndsay Grattan, BACP, NCPS

Lyndsay Grattan is a qualified integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who works with adults across online settings, charities, and private practice. She blends techniques from different therapeutic traditions so the work is tailored to each person's needs, drawing on elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, and psychodynamic approaches to help clients understand patterns, process emotions, and develop practical coping strategies.

She believes that everyone can face times of difficulty and deserves support to make sense of what is causing distress while moving toward positive change. Having lived for ten years in the USA and four years in mainland UK, she brings broad life experience and a culturally aware, non-judgemental stance to her practice. That background informs a respectful and accepting way of working with people from diverse backgrounds.

Lyndsay offers an authentic, warm, and down-to-earth style where empowerment and respect are central. She provides a welcoming environment and works alongside clients to support them through issues such as anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, stress, loneliness, procrastination, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, addiction, abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. She holds professional credentials with BACP and NCPS; BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a well-known UK professional association. Lyndsay aims to support people toward positive change and improved wellbeing, and she would be honoured to work with those seeking that journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lyndsay uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape expectations of connection and safety; this approach can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment fears, or attachment-related patterns in relationships. She also works from a Client-Centred perspective, offering an accepting and empathic space where the client’s own goals and experience guide the pace of therapy - this approach supports self-exploration and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key element of her practice, focusing on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lyndsay collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors the mix of methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model onto everyone.

Online therapy with Lyndsay is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments and to continue therapy from wherever the client is located within the United Kingdom. The variety of formats also allows clients to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for them.
