About Lindsay Westwood
Lindsay Westwood holds a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and combines a background in psychology, creative practices, and tattooing to inform her therapeutic work. She trained in the Person Centred Relational Model, a practice that supports exploration of the many challenges life can present and encourages clients to access their own inner resources.
Accountable to the BACP Ethical Framework, Lindsay offers a safe, personal, and non-judgmental counselling relationship. She believes people possess an innate drive for growth and that therapy can help make the unconscious conscious so individuals can find their own answers. Her approach is rooted in client-centred principles while drawing on a wider range of techniques when needed, tailoring work to each person’s presenting issues.
With over 2,000 hours of counselling experience, Lindsay previously worked closely with young people and their families, developing a flexible style that adapts to individual needs. Her experience includes supporting people through grief during the pandemic and specialist training in areas such as the effects of adverse childhood experiences, anger, sexual abuse, stress and anxiety, the impacts of substance misuse on families, and online sexual risk.
She continues to pursue professional development, studying models of trauma, mindful awareness, and the different configurations of self. Lindsay runs inner child workshops that invite play and creativity back into adult life, and mindfulness practice groups that teach breath-based tools to work with body and mind. She brings empathy, integrity, honesty, and a commitment to safety to every therapeutic relationship, listening carefully and supporting clients to set achievable goals, learn coping strategies, and regain clarity and self-trust.
Lindsay aims to create a relaxed, non-judgemental space where people can explore their past, present, and future, make sense of their choices, and feel empowered to move forward. When someone is ready to take the step toward change, she is available to support that journey.
