Jenny Lyons, BACP

Jenny Lyons is a counsellor and psychotherapist who trained in the UK and holds BACP membership. She has four years of professional experience helping people who are facing hard times and big life changes. Jenny speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She studied psychology at undergraduate level and went on to complete a Masters in Health Psychology. She also holds a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, which informs a flexible approach to therapy.

Jenny sees many common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression, along with grief and relationship problems. She also supports people with issues around self-esteem, trauma, addictions, ADHD and bipolar conditions. Practical daily struggles like sleep, eating, work pressures and coping with change are part of her practice too.

Her sessions focus on listening first and helping people name what matters most to them. She combines talking therapies that look at thoughts and behaviours with approaches that explore personal values and attachment patterns. The aim is to build clearer choices and small steps forward.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere and help to work through difficult emotions. Jenny describes therapy as a joint process and supports clients to develop tools they can use outside sessions. She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives clear strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often helps with stress, sleep and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions; it can help people improve intimacy and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they will test different methods and adapt the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy with Jenny uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quicker check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit shorter exchanges, daily check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
