Lindsey Hemmings, BACP

Lindsey Hemmings offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, low mood and big life changes. She helps people talk through anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and loss in a straightforward way. Lindsey invites clients to take the first step toward feeling more capable and hopeful.

She has 20 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Lindsey focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She aims for clear, practical conversation rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

In sessions she listens for patterns that affect how someone feels and behaves. That can include problems such as attachment wounds, codependency, control issues, or repeating relationship difficulties. She also works with concerns around midlife change, life purpose and recovery from betrayal or separation.

Lindsey uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand how past experiences shape present reactions. She helps clients uncover repeated themes and make different choices in relationships and self-care. The pace is set by the client and focuses on helpful insight alongside day-to-day coping.

People considering therapy are encouraged to reflect on what they hope to change. Lindsey supports clients through that process, helping them build new ways of relating to themselves and others. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more satisfying choices.

How psychodynamic ideas work in online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people notice repeating patterns, such as avoidance, codependency or difficulties with trust, and gently explore their origins to make different choices now.

In practice, sessions are conversational and reflective. Lindsey uses this style to help people connect feelings and memories to present problems like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. The aim is clearer self-understanding alongside practical ways to cope day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lindsey will work collaboratively to decide whether psychodynamic ideas suit your needs and goals, and will adapt the way she works to your preferences. This is discussed together rather than assumed upfront.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or offering sessions when leaving the house would be difficult. Many people find online sessions a practical way to keep therapy consistent alongside everyday responsibilities.
