Lindsay Rose

Lindsay Rose trained as a counsellor after many years spent teaching adults, teenagers and children. During that time she saw how a lack of mental health support affected both students and colleagues, and it was this gap that led her to counselling as a second career.

She believes that good, quality counselling can bring real change - helping to heal wounds from childhood, shift perspectives and outlooks, and deepen understanding of one’s personality, beliefs and actions. Lindsay offers a warm, non-judgemental approach that keeps the client in control of each session.

Her work is integrative, combining cognitive behaviour therapy, solution-based counselling, gestalt therapy and person-centred therapy. If a client needs simply to be heard, she will listen; if the goal is to alter negative thought patterns, she can guide the process and teach ways to challenge those thoughts; if there is a specific focus, she will tailor sessions accordingly. She has successfully worked with trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety and phobias, among other concerns.

Lindsay values working with clients for whom English may be a second language, and her background in English teaching informs a patient, understanding style when people are finding the words. If she seems like the right person to help, she welcomes enquiries to begin the conversation.
