About Lydia
Lydia Jenkins is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She supports those dealing with depression, grief and major life changes. Lydia also works with people facing trauma, intimacy issues, sleep problems and career-related strain.
She uses a person-focused style that blends listening with practical work. Sessions combine acceptance and commitment ideas with client-centred care and mindfulness. Lydia helps clients notice patterns, try small changes and build coping skills that fit their life.
Background and approach
In practice she aims for a calm, non-judgemental space. Conversations move at the client’s pace and priorities set the agenda. Lydia offers both talking and short exercises during sessions to help people practice new ways of responding to difficulties.
Her background includes five years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience informs her straightforward approach to anxiety, anger, ADHD-related concerns and compassion fatigue. People can expect a collaborative working style that focuses on what matters to them.
Lydia pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, and to how beliefs and meaning shape day-to-day life. She works with a wide range of concerns including body image, chronic illness, communication problems and issues connected to sexual diversity. When someone is ready to begin, Lydia supports gentle, practical steps towards change.
She aims to help people find more manageable ways of living and clearer choices about their future.
How Lydia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Lydia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking small actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people understand and try different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering empathetic listening and helping clients find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lydia will talk through options with each client and decide together what fits best. That conversation will consider practical goals, personal preferences and what feels most helpful at the time. Therapy can change direction as needs evolve, and methods are combined to suit each situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging offer short check-ins or ongoing written support between sessions. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, fit therapy around work or caregiving, and keep continuity when travel or relocation happens.
