Beccy Lindsay

I'm available office hours and some evenings and currently can offer a few vacancies.

I am an experienced, BACP Accredited and Registered Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist for individuals and couples. My private practice is in East Sheen London SW14 (near Richmond, Putney and Barnes), where I have been offering affordable support for fifteen years. 

At an initial session, I will ask you about your reasons for coming to counselling and we will talk about the help you need. An introductory session is a way to think about going forward in your life and finding out what it is like to have a counselling session with me. Usually clients say that it is a relief to talk about what is on their minds and turn to counselling expertise and support.  

If your issues seem to be repeating, or the new difficulties of this period are isolating and distressing, I am here to listen and offer confidential professional guidance. When you feel stuck, counselling is a tool to change the patterns of the past, that have been holding you back.

In our first meeting (sessions are 55 minutes), you will find that I help you to give me an overview of your history, your family, significant people and events and any losses in your life. You may not be ready to tell me about some things straightaway but as we continue to meet, it will get easier to open up, especially about problems you have carried alone, for a long time.

You can decide from week to week if you want a further session; it will depend on what works for you and we can talk about that in your initial booking.

I now offer in person, online video or telephone sessions.You can choose or have a mix of in person and online sessions.

My way of working is integrative; I combine training which is psychoanalytic and relational and work in a person-centred way. 

The focus is on you and I help you talk about yourself using a relaxed and conversational style. We'll explore the issues on your mind and what they are doing to your life. We'll look at relationships you may have that harm you and help you to look after yourself better. In our search, we'll find out about your childhood experiences and how they still weigh on you, holding you back from progressing and having the life that you hope for.

East Sheen counselling room - Individuals £65 per session, Couples £70 per session. I work in private practice and currently offer sessions in person or by video link or by phone. I have a custom-built counselling room with facilities and wheelchair access.

The counselling room is a welcoming and comfortable setting. 

How do I start?

The first step is to email me or call me and I will offer you an introductory session. In the introduction, we can talk about how I can help, and how you would like to take counselling forward. 

Talking about what has happened to you in your life is part of freeing yourself  to progress and live the life you want in the future.

I currently have some availability in my practice.

The Supervision that I offer is flexible as I am trained in Integrative theory (Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Existential and Relational) and have 15 years experience in a variety of settings. I will adapt to your modality and working style and be lead by your knowledge of your clients. I give support and feedback on your work with your clients in a responsive way and guided by the help you ask for.

As you introduce your client work to me, I will get to know your work. Sometimes you will want to bring questions or concerns about different clients or present samples of a session that you want to understand better and we'll explore all this together.

We'll use the first session to see how we work together and that it feels comfortable. We'll exchange some preliminary information about ourselves and you can of course ask me any questions you may have about my qualifications and experience.
