Lindsey De-Vine , BACP

Lindsey De-Vine is a counsellor with 12 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. Lindsey aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear for each person she meets.

Her approach starts with listening. Lindsey helps people tell their story at their own pace and looks for their existing strengths to build on. She offers a calm, warm presence and a non-judgemental space for people to speak honestly about what is difficult.

In sessions she draws on several ways of working to meet practical needs. Cognitive behavioural techniques can help identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Mindfulness practices support people who want to reduce stress and reconnect to the present moment. Client-centred work keeps the conversation grounded in each person’s priorities.

Lindsey also brings longer-term exploration when it is useful. Psychodynamic ideas can help people understand recurring patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem. Solution-focused interventions are used when someone wants short-term, goal-oriented support for a specific problem.

She supports a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, LGBT matters, career stress and caregiving strain. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, and Lindsey works with people in English, including international clients.

How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online therapy

Lindsey often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems where clear steps can be tried between sessions.

She also works with Client-Centred Therapy, which means the session is guided by what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to build their own solutions with supportive reflection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey will discuss different methods and agree on what to try first based on the person’s goals and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow conversational depth and visual cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit brief check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, care commitments or travel without losing continuity of care.
