About Lydia

Lydia Jenkins works with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and life changes, plus a wide range of related concerns such as grief, trauma, ADHD and relationship or intimacy issues. She uses a person-centred base and draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based and mindfulness work to help people reduce distress and try new ways of coping. Lydia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

Lydia prefers short, practical conversations alongside quieter reflective work. Sessions mix listening with exercises aimed at next steps and coping strategies. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and practise different responses that fit day-to-day life.

Her approach addresses attachment and relational themes as well as emotional regulation. This can be useful for people who struggle with anger, emptiness, dissociation, or commitment and communication issues. She also offers support around body image, sexual expression such as BDSM and kink, and the stresses that come with caregiving or chronic illness.

Lydia works with those affected by trauma and abuse, separation and divorce, and people managing co-morbidity or complex emotional responses. Mindfulness and narrative elements are used to help people become more aware of what matters to them and how they want to live.

She aims to help people set realistic goals and builds on their strengths. Sessions can be arranged from the United Kingdom and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Lydia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values; this approach often suits people managing anxiety, low mood or life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns and how early connections influence current feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy, communication and abandonment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lydia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then adjust techniques as the sessions progress so both counsellor and client decide the best fit together.

The practical benefits of remote work can include easier scheduling around work or caring responsibilities and fewer travel needs. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Talking through format and timing at the first contact helps fit sessions into everyday life without assuming a particular arrangement.
