About Lindsey
Lindsey Hemmings is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are living with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem and the challenges of life change. She also addresses concerns tied to abandonment, attachment, codependency and guilt and shame.
She uses a psychodynamic approach to understand how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Sessions focus on making patterns clearer so people can choose different ways of responding. Lindsey listens for recurring themes such as control issues, avoidance, or repeated relationship difficulties and brings those into the conversation.
Practical problems such as divorce, separation, infidelity and midlife questions are explored alongside emotional material. She works with feelings of isolation, shame and struggles with self-love, and helps people weigh options and next steps when life shifts feel overwhelming. The work may look at how coping strategies helped in the past and whether they still serve the person now.
Lindsey aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgment. She encourages straightforward conversation about what is hard, confusing or painful. People are invited to try things differently and notice what changes from session to session.

Psychodynamic work online and what it looks like
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how earlier relationships and repeated patterns influence present feelings and behaviour. It often involves noticing recurring themes and exploring how past experiences shape reactions to stress, loss or relationship problems.In sessions the therapist and client talk about thoughts, feelings and events that come up between meetings as well as what happens during the session. This approach can help with issues such as grief, shame, anxiety and problems rooted in attachment or control. The emphasis is on understanding patterns rather than quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs together with the client, and adjust the way they work as clarity grows. Decisions about pace, focus and techniques are made collaboratively rather than assumed from the start.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments, or useful when travel is difficult. Practical advantages include shorter check-ins, the option to avoid video if needed, and the ability to schedule meetings at times that suit a busy day.
