I cannot thank Lindsay enough for the support and guidance she provided during one of the most challenging periods of my life. Struggling with gender disappointment and navigating some incredibly dark days, I felt lost and overwhelmed. Through her compassionate and understanding approach, she helped me process my feelings, gain clarity, and ultimately find peace. Her expertise, patience, and genuine non judgmental care were instrumental in my recovery. I’m now in a much better place, and I credit her for guiding me on this transformative journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay to anyone in need of support.

I felt understood by a therapist for the first time in my life. Sessions with Dr McMillan provided me with tools to use in my every day life. We worked on my sense of safety and compassion and this change of approach was a real game changer for me, after many ineffective CBT therapy attempts in the past. Before our therapy, I was struggling with a lot of anxiety – these sessions helped me to foster my sense of safety, develop a kinder relationship with myself and deal with my trauma better. Thank you!

The sessions I had helped me make sense of difficulties I was experiencing and gave me hope that I could change things that I thought were a lost cause. I am now in the process of finding my feet again and have the confidence to seek help again should I need to. I felt listened to and that the sessions were guided by what I wanted to focus on. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Lindsay again in the future and would highly recommend her services.

I’m so grateful for your content. Gender Disappointment and shame for feeling it is something that I’ve personally struggled with and I found very few resources out there on it when I was in the thick of it. Seeing information about it and others experiences really normalises it which is much needed because, as I’ve discovered, it’s so common but no-one talks about it.

I would highly recommend a consultation with Lindsay. She is a fountain of knowledge on a subject that is scarcely discussed, not just amongst those who experience it, but also amongst professionals. Her passion for opening up conversation about this area is clear to see. My conversation with Lindsay enabled me to explore the complexity that surrounds gender disappointment and how multi-storied it is. She has helped me become more aware of the potential impact gender disappointment can have upon people and the importance of giving space to share experiences to reduce feelings of guilt and shame.

I was so pleased when Lindsay agreed to join Plum Psychology. I was familiar with her work from a powerful workshop she ran and from hearing her speak in peer meet ups. I knew her warmth and experience would be perfect for those seeking help with issues related to difficult post, or perinatal experiences alongside burnout and other life-stresses.

We enjoyed our sessions and how they enabled us to understand each other more. In a short time we were able to connect better and reduce tensions. Lindsay was easy to speak to and we looked forward to our therapy. I would happily contact her again if I had any issues in the future where I needed some guidance or support.

Dr McMillan was extremely empathetic and kind as well as being very knowledgeable and professional. Her ability to listen intently and make sense of things I was struggling to make sense of was a huge help in producing practical and meaningful strategies to help my child. I can not recommend her highly enough. Family life has improved for all of us all with knowledge and tools we now possess thanks to her.
