Lydia Jenkins

Lydia Jenkins is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those coping with life changes, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Lydia also offers help around ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, sleeping problems, anger and career stress. She lists additional focus areas including attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and caregiver strain.

Lydia works in a person-centred way that keeps the client in control of sessions. She pairs listening with practical exercises so conversations are balanced with action. Sessions often include grounding, mindfulness and values-based activities to build small coping skills that fit everyday life.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches and Mindfulness Therapy to shape the work together. That means looking at what matters to each person, noticing unhelpful patterns, and practising different responses. The aim is to find manageable steps rather than quick fixes.

With five years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - Lydia describes her style as warm and non-judgemental. She emphasises working at a pace that suits the client and keeping wellbeing central to every session.

To begin, clients follow the site process to choose therapy and complete a short matching questionnaire. She accepts clients in English and is available to international clients through the platform.

How Lydia's approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is 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 connecting and relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor - offering acceptance and careful listening so clients can find their own answers.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lydia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as the work develops, and she adapts exercises and conversations to suit the client.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, caregiving or study, and avoiding travel time so therapy can be more regular. Different session formats may suit different needs, so confirm available options before booking. Online work still offers focused conversations, short grounding practices and values-based exercises that can be practised between sessions to help with everyday challenges.
