Lindsey Hemmings

Lindsey Hemmings offers calm, steady support for people feeling alone, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She focuses on practical ways to cope with stress, anxiety, grief and low mood, and helps people rebuild confidence and purpose. Lindsey works to create an open, non-judgemental space so feelings and thoughts can be spoken about honestly.

She has 20 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and is listed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Lindsey uses a psychodynamic approach to help uncover patterns that may be keeping someone stuck. That means she pays attention to past relationships and repeated emotional habits to understand present difficulties.

Sessions are conversational and reflective. Lindsey listens for themes such as attachment worries, abandonment fears, codependency or issues around control. She then helps people connect those patterns to current struggles like loneliness, midlife uncertainty, or recovery after separation.

Practical work may include naming difficult feelings, building small routines, and trying new ways of relating to others. Lindsey also supports people wrestling with shame, guilt, infidelity, or traumatic memories. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

If you are considering therapy, she encourages a gentle first step and will work with you at a pace that feels manageable.

How psychodynamic work can fit into online therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and repeated emotional patterns affect present feelings and behaviour. It often helps when someone notices the same painful cycles reappearing, such as fears of abandonment, codependent behaviour, or recurring shame.

In sessions the therapist listens for themes and links between past experience and current struggles. Conversations tend to be reflective rather than prescriptive, aiming to increase self-awareness and understanding of why certain reactions happen. This can be useful for loneliness, midlife questions, and difficulties after separation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide whether psychodynamic conversations feel helpful, and will adapt the pace and focus to match goals and preferences. This shared planning helps people feel more in control of their work.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life, avoiding travel time, and keeping continuity when circumstances change. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to support steady progress without requiring a particular location.
