Lydia Jenkins, BACP

Lydia Jenkins is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns, including issues around jealousy. She also supports those coping with depression, grief, trauma, anger and major life changes. Lydia takes a calm and direct approach so people can start making small, practical changes straight away.

She works from a person-centred base and draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work and mindfulness. Sessions mix listening with practical exercises. Lydia aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding to difficult feelings.

Her practice supports people living with ADHD, autism and attachment-related struggles, as well as those dealing with body image, intimacy-related concerns, and issues connected to kink and alternative sexual cultures. She also helps with caregiver stress, chronic illness, career strain and compassion fatigue.

With five years of experience and BACP registration, Lydia brings straightforward care and a steady presence. She encourages clients to set the pace and shape the work, whether tackling a single concern or exploring deeper patterns over time.

To begin, she asks people to say what matters most to them. Then practical coping strategies are built alongside reflective work. The aim is calmer days, clearer choices and better ways of handling painful emotions.

How these approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people make room for difficult feelings and focus on values-based action. It is useful for anxiety, depression and struggles with avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating shape current relationships and emotional responses; it can help with jealousy, trust and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lydia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. She listens to goals and preferences, then shapes sessions around what seems most helpful in practice.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from different locations, which suits those living abroad or with changing schedules. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT and attachment work to online sessions so the focus stays on practical coping, clearer relationships and steadier emotional responses.
