About Lidia

Lidia Alvarez Veas helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stressed or anxious, and those struggling with relationships or major life changes. She works in English and Spanish and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Lidia has three years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

Lidia listens to what matters to each person and uses a flexible mix of approaches. She draws on person-centred ideas to prioritise the client's perspective, psychodynamic thinking to look at past influences, and cognitive-behavioural techniques for practical coping skills. Sessions typically combine talking, reflection and practical exercises aimed at clearer thinking and steadier mood.

She also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, family of origin concerns, fatherhood issues and fertility-related distress. Other areas Lidia works on include control issues, feelings of emptiness, isolation or loneliness, and challenges around life purpose and midlife change. She helps people consider how past experiences shape present patterns and how to try alternative responses.

Lidia includes trauma-informed practice in her work and attends to the effects of distress and abuse when relevant. She offers support for relationship difficulties including infidelity, and for people managing immigration-related stress or mood disturbances. The focus remains on practical steps and building skills for self-regulation and clearer boundaries.

Her background in Communication Sciences and her own personal experience of therapy inform her approach. People who value a reflective, structured and collaborative style may find her helpful. To begin, clients use the site matching process to arrange a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

She commonly uses person-centred methods that focus on the client's perspective and what matters to them in the moment; this helps people feel heard and clarifies priorities. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence current patterns, which can help when recurring relationship or family issues are a concern. Cognitive-behavioural techniques are included to teach practical coping skills for anxiety, mood changes and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the methods over time in a collaborative way. This lets the client try different techniques and see what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue sessions while living abroad, since she accepts international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver the same therapeutic techniques remotely, and the focus remains on practical support and building skills that fit everyday life.
