Lyndsey Hampton-guest , BACP

Lyndsey Hampton-guest offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She explains things plainly and helps people take small steps towards greater wellbeing. Lyndsey welcomes conversations about relationship strain and issues that often affect women.

Lyndsey works in a conversational, non-judgemental way. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful rather than clinical. People can expect time to talk, to reflect, and to identify manageable changes they can try between meetings.

With five years of professional experience and BACP membership, Lyndsey has worked at supporting people through big life changes. She has helped clients facing loss, midlife shifts, separation and the ongoing stress of chronic illness or pain. Practical problem solving is mixed with attention to feelings and personal history.

Her approach pays attention to how attachment and communication shape relationships. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, isolation and money worries alongside mood and anxiety concerns. ADHD, panic and social anxiety are included among the difficulties she supports.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. Lyndsey helps people set clear goals and tries out methods that fit each person's needs. The work is paced to what feels manageable for the individual.

People can arrange sessions by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire, then scheduling according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches and how online therapy can help

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for anxiety and mood difficulties include methods that focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns and skills-based approaches for managing strong emotions. Cognitive approaches help people notice and test thoughts that fuel worry and low mood, and then try alternative ways of thinking that can reduce distress. Skills-focused work teaches practical tools for regulating emotions, coping with panic and improving day-to-day functioning.

Another helpful direction examines attachment and communication patterns. This approach looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and behaviour, and it supports learning clearer boundaries and more effective ways to connect with others. It can be useful for relationship problems, loneliness and repeated interpersonal patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback indicate.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when cameras are not wanted. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer typing, or those with limited time between commitments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent even with a busy life.
