Jenny Lyons , BACP

Jenny Lyons is a counsellor and psychotherapist who trained in the UK and holds BACP registration. She has four years of clinical experience and combines a background in psychology with a master's in health psychology and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jenny works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and she also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Clients are invited to talk about what matters to them and to try small, usable steps between meetings. Jenny pays attention to patterns that keep problems going, such as avoidance, unhelpful thinking or repeated relationship dynamics.

Her work draws on approaches like cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment-based thinking and client-centred listening. That mix helps with mood, confidence and coping when life changes feel overwhelming. She also uses techniques from dialectical behaviour work to help manage intense emotions and urges.

People come for many reasons - burnout at work, bereavement, struggles with self-esteem, addiction-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, or challenges linked to neurodiversity and chronic health. Jenny also supports people exploring sexual orientation and LGBT-related stresses, and those facing career or caregiving strain.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online by international clients. She encourages a calm, non-judging space where people can name what they want to change and plan achievable steps forward.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, then choose actions that match their values. It can support those facing anxiety, depression or major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns that fuel stress and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns that began early in life and how they affect current closeness and trust; it can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain different options, and try methods that feel like a good fit. Sessions often blend techniques so you get what helps most for your situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video lets you read facial expression and body language, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days, manage caregiving or work commitments and keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
