Jenny Lyons, BACP

Jenny Lyons is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She holds a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She also has a first degree in Psychology and a Masters in Health Psychology. Jenny brings four years of professional experience to her work with clients.

She offers a straightforward and compassionate style. Sessions focus on listening and helping people make sense of difficult feelings. Jenny aims to build a calm space where thoughts and worries can be talked through without judgment.

Her day-to-day work covers common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, life changes, relationship difficulties and problems linked to trauma. Practical issues like sleep, eating, addictions and career stress are part of her caseload too.

Jenny uses a mix of established approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas, together with attachment-aware and client-centred ways of working. That mix is used to suit the person in front of her rather than a fixed formula.

In sessions she encourages small, manageable steps and practical skills alongside reflection on patterns and values. The aim is to help people cope better day to day and move towards changes that feel meaningful. She welcomes conversations about what would help most before starting work together.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, and can help when relationship patterns or trust issues are part of the problem.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try things with the client to see what fits. That collaboration helps shape a plan that matches goals, preferences and how someone reacts to different techniques.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also allow sessions when someone is located some distance away or living abroad, but practical details like scheduling and time zones should be checked in advance.
