Lindsay Rose, BACP

Lindsay Rose moved into counselling after many years teaching adults, teenagers and children, having seen firsthand how the absence of mental health support affected both students and colleagues. That experience inspired a second career dedicated to helping people find greater understanding and healing. She believes that thoughtful, skilled counselling can transform lives by addressing wounds from childhood, shifting perspectives, and increasing insight into one’s personality, beliefs and actions.

Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental style in which the individual remains in control of the session. Lindsay uses an integrative approach, combining cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused counselling, gestalt therapy and person-centred therapy to meet each person’s needs. She will listen when someone needs to talk, guide them through techniques to challenge negative thought patterns, and tailor sessions to a specific focus when required.

She has experience working with trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety and phobias, among other concerns. Her background in English teaching supports work with people for whom English is a second language, allowing patience and clarity when words are hard to find. Lindsay holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and welcomes those who feel she may be the right person to help to get in touch.
