Background and approach

Her practice brings together different ways of working. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to help spot unhelpful thinking and build new patterns. Attachment-based thinking and emotionally-focused approaches guide how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds.

Lydia has a BACP credential, a diploma in counselling and additional study in holistic therapies. She has also worked in person-facing roles across a range of charities, which shaped her practical experience with trauma, bereavement and abuse-related issues. People meet Lydia for frank, steady conversations about the problems that matter to them.

She offers both remote and local face-to-face sessions and can work with people around the world. Practical tools, reflective listening and a clear focus on the relationship are consistent features of her approach.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Lydia draws on a person-centred, attachment-informed approach that focuses on how early bonds shape present relationships. This helps when someone is struggling with intimacy, abandonment fears or recurring relationship patterns.

She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT-style techniques can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because they lead to practical steps someone can try between sessions.

Choosing the right way of working is a joint process. Lydia listens to a person's history, goals and preferences and then suggests approaches to try. She adapts methods over time so the work stays relevant to the person's changing needs.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face contact, phone calls can fit a shorter break at work and messaging works well for quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to find formats that fit into everyday life.
