About Lydia
Lydia Jenkins is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and relationship issues, and also helps with ADHD, grief and coping with life changes.
Her approach begins with a person-centred base. That means listening and prioritising the client's own goals. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice what matters and take manageable steps towards it.
Sessions combine talking with practical exercises. Lydia offers room to talk through trauma, difficult emotions and recurring patterns. She and the client will work together to build coping strategies and small behavioural changes that fit day-to-day life.
She pays attention to attachment and how early relationships can shape current connections and reactions. Narrative ideas are used to help people make sense of their story and find different ways of relating to tough memories and feelings.
Lydia supports a wide range of concerns that include intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also works with matters such as body image, commitment worries, communication problems and aspects of neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
If someone wants to try therapy with her they start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small steps towards those values. It is useful for anxiety, anger that gets stuck, low mood and decisions about life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and closeness. It helps with communication problems, intimacy issues and recurring emotional responses. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says, so the client guides the pace and topics in sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods feel most helpful. That choice is guided by the client’s goals, everyday demands and what feels manageable during sessions.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering options that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to help clients maintain regular contact while working on practical coping skills and emotional awareness.
