About Lydia
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 anger. Lydia also works with people affected by ADHD, intimacy concerns, sleep problems and career strain.
Lydia takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. She listens first and then works alongside people to find practical steps that fit their life. Sessions can include reflective conversation and simple exercises to practise between meetings.
Background and approach
The aim is to reduce overwhelming feelings and build clearer ways to cope. Her background includes five years of experience in the field and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That training shapes a respectful, non-judgemental style where the person remains in charge of the pace and goals.
Lydia explains methods plainly and checks in about what feels useful. In practice she blends acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking and client-centred values with mindfulness and exploration of meaning. This mix lets her tailor sessions to the issue at hand, whether working through old patterns or learning new habits.
She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who choose Lydia can expect calm, practical support aimed at day-to-day change. Sessions focus on small, achievable moves that ease pressure and improve day-to-day functioning.
The work can be short term or continue as needed.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people see repeated ways of relating and try different, healthier reactions in day-to-day life. This approach can be useful when intimacy, abandonment or relationship fears are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit the person. Sessions are collaborative, so plans can change as progress is made and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, short text check-ins fit a busy day and chat allows steady written dialogue. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel.
