About Me.
My Journey so far.
Hello, hi! I’m Lindsey. I’m a client-centred therapist, also trauma aware and currently furthering this knowledge by studying Psychological Trauma at Chester University. With the shoe on the other foot, I facilitate counselling training at a local college.
The counselling path began as a student around 2011, following years of volunteering in helping fields, which included advocacy, youth work and mentoring. A strong pull guided me towards a local training course, where I, fortunately, encountered the glorious and elegant work of Dr. Carl Rogers and the Person-Centred Approach, marking the beginning of a transformative, fulfilling, yet bumpy path towards my psychological connection with myself; until this point, I was like a feather floating on the winds of life, easily influenced with no real knowing what, or who I was - though I thought I did!
I was without roots, and so susceptible to living reactively, unconsciously re-enacting my powerlessness.
Connecting and re-connecting to one's inner world can be a challenging, messy business, but worth it! particularly in comparison to a disconnection that for me manifested as OCD, depression, anxiety, chaos, unhealthy habits, insomnia, numbness, and lethargy.
Why ‘perhaps’ being an empathic helping professional was and remains important to me.
At this point ‘in time’ (2025) Flourish is eight years old. Throughout this time, I have continued to study, gaining a teaching qualification, ecotherapy certificate, polyvagal yoga trauma training, supervision certificate, EMDR training, and now Psychological Trauma.
