Hi, and welcome to my Welldoing profile. I’m Lyndsey and I’m an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor. This means I’m trained in lots of different ways of working and have a wide variety of experiences; I am able to offer a tailored, holistic and expansive approach. No box ticking, no glib, textbook-style responses (I don’t utilise CBT) - just real, human interaction with an experienced and knowledgeable therapist. Although I am able to work with most issues (and I can make alternative suggestions for you if I’m not the best person for you), if you’ve experienced any of the following, these are my specialisms: Trauma Abuse (including, but not limited to, childhood, sexual, relationship) Being care experienced (foster care or children’s homes) Pregnancy and infant loss Parenting Existential dread/ loss of purpose or feelings of pointlessness Anxiety (presenting as OCD, ruminating, avoidance) As I’m integrative, although talking therapy is the ‘main event’ I’m also able to integrate more creative ways of working if they may be helpful, such as: Working with metaphor or imagery Objects work (also known as ‘sculpting’) Somatic focusing (listening to the body) If you’re looking for a specific type of therapy, these are the modalities I’m trained in: Gestalt Person-centred Attachment Psychoanalysis Existential Systemic Trauma I run my own therapy practice in Middlewich, Cheshire in a discreet, welcoming space. If you’re looking for someone who won’t judge, who welcomes all aspects of being human (I’m LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent affirming) who may occasionally crack a joke or throw in a swear word or two, all whilst wholly and entirely being a safe, focused, consistent and containing space, then please get in touch for a quick, free of charge chat to see if the way I work would helpful for you. I look forward to hearing from you.
