A space where you can be yourself
Counselling doesn’t have to feel formal or intimidating.
My practice is a calm, comfortable and welcoming space where young people can talk openly, explore what’s going on for them and feel heard without judgement.
Sometimes we’ll talk. Sometimes we’ll use creative activities to help make sense of things. There’s no pressure to have all the answers.
Lindsay Lightley
Qualified Psychotherapist in Matlock | DCounsPsych, MNCPS
I am a qualified psychotherapist supporting teenagers, young people, children and adults in Matlock, Derbyshire and online.
With a background in education and experience supporting young people in schools, I understand the challenges that can affect emotional wellbeing, confidence and relationships. My approach is pluralistic, which means I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We work together to find ways of working that feel comfortable and helpful for you. I am a registered member of the BACP and NCPS, and I am committed to creating a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where young people can feel heard and understood.
