About Lydia
Lydia Jenkins is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Lydia works with a wide range of everyday struggles, including sleep problems, anger, career stress and compassion fatigue.
She draws on five years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. Lydia takes a straightforward, person-centred approach. Sessions begin with listening to what matters to the client.
Background and approach
From there she mixes reflective listening with practical exercises tailored to each person. Lydia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose valued action. She also works from attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current patterns.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to build present-moment awareness and reduce intense reactions. In practice this looks like short exercises, breathing and grounding techniques, and conversational work about patterns and values. Lydia aims to help people build simple coping strategies they can use between sessions.
She checks progress together and adapts the plan as needed. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which can fit different routines and needs. Lydia welcomes people across the United Kingdom and international clients who prefer English-language sessions.

Online support
She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how earlier relationships affect current patterns. That work involves talking through core relationship themes and trying new ways of relating, which adapt well to video and phone conversations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel without losing continuity of care.
