About Lydia
Lydia Jenkins is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress and the fallout of big life changes. She works with issues such as trauma, grief, low self-esteem, intimacy concerns and problems with sleep and anger. Lydia also supports people dealing with ADHD, LGBT matters, career stress and compassion fatigue. She lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her areas of focus.
Her approach centres on listening first, then using practical tools together. Lydia draws on person-centred ideas and adds approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness. That means sessions can include reflection, breathing and grounding practices, plus simple exercises to try between meetings.
Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where the therapist follows their pace. Lydia emphasises choice, so people steer the goals and the length of work. She aims to balance talking and practical steps, not only discussion.
With five years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Lydia brings a steady, straightforward style. She uses attachment-focused thinking to look at relationship patterns and narrative ideas to help people make sense of difficult stories.
Her work is aimed at individuals wanting clear steps and emotional understanding. Sessions blend listening with small tasks that build daily coping. If someone wants to explore longer term change or a short set of sessions, Lydia adapts to the person’s needs.
How Lydia uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems that feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect present responses; it can help with relationship strains and feelings of abandonment. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and gives space to be heard without judgement, which supports self-esteem and emotional processing.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are collaborative, so clients try what feels safe and useful and adjust as needed.
