Lydia Jenkins, BACP

Lydia Jenkins is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps those coping with life changes, ADHD, relationship concerns, trauma, grief and issues around intimacy and sleep. Lydia aims to make the first steps feel manageable and practical for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

She uses a person-centred base combined with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment work and mindfulness. Sessions balance listening with simple exercises and coping strategies. Lydia works alongside each person to try out ways of handling difficult feelings and shifting unhelpful patterns.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental, and she encourages people to set the pace. Clients stay in charge of how much work they want to do and whether help is short term or longer term. Lydia highlights wellbeing as the guiding priority in sessions.

With five years of experience and registration with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings focused practical support to common life struggles. Her approach aims to be straightforward and relatable rather than overly technical.

People may come for help with specific issues such as anger, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image or attachment concerns. Therapy includes talking things through, building small coping steps and using mindful practices to ease day-to-day strain.

If someone is unsure what to expect, Lydia works collaboratively to find a useful way forward and adapts the approach to fit the person’s needs.

How Lydia’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting pulled into them, then take small values-based steps that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating to themselves and others. This approach can help with abandonment, trust issues and attachment concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and ease strong emotions. It pairs well with other approaches for stress, sleep problems and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lydia discusses goals, preferences and life circumstances with each person and together they decide which methods to try first. She adapts exercises and pacing based on feedback so therapy stays practical and relevant.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily around work or caregiving by removing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when that suits a day.

Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to support continuity and to help therapy fit into everyday life.
