On Being Heard and Becoming Visible

Attachment Based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist based in London. She is a Course Tutor, teacher, Intake 2012 Co-Ordinator, and Co-Vice Chair of the Clinical Training Committee at The Bowlby Centre. Formerly an Advice Worker, Staff Trainer, and Deputy Manager for the Citizens Advice Bureau, Lindsay has throughout her life had a deep interest in difference and discrimination and in facilitating change. In her twenties she experienced the stark contrast between her liberal arts education at a North Wales residential college with a predominantly working class student population and studying for a BA in Social and Political Science at Cambridge University (where she attended a lecture by John Bowlby in her final year) which was not remotely working class. Eventually she realised that political activism was all well and good but that, to paraphrase Gloria Steinem, real revolution comes from within, and succumbed to the desire for therapy and to train as a therapist. Lindsay has always enjoyed creative pursuits including painting and writing and has written for the National Childbirth Trust magazine. E-mail:
