Lindsay uses a nonjudgmental approach that looks at the role emotions and behaviours play in the lives of individuals and relationships to see if they are helpful or if they are causing issues. Cognitive approaches can be used to examine the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Emotion focussed approaches can be used to examine the patterns in our life, how they are impacting us and our attachment needs.
Outside of work, Lindsay enjoys spending time with her friends and partner, being outside in nature, fitness, reading, and learning.
