Jenny Lyons, BACP

Jenny Lyons is a counsellor and psychotherapist who trained in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She brings four years of professional practice to sessions and draws on a psychology degree, a Masters in Health Psychology, and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jenny aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

Her work focuses on common problems that affect everyday life. She helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and traumatic experiences. Jenny assists people working through life changes, work pressures and challenges linked to health or caring roles.

Jenny uses a mix of approaches to meet each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change thinking patterns. She also uses client-centred work to make space for people to lead the pace and focus of sessions. Attachment-based and acceptance-style techniques appear where they suit the person’s goals.

Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth. Jenny works with clients to set clear goals and small steps. Conversations cover useful strategies for coping, ways to improve relationships, and exercises to handle strong emotions.

People come for help with many concerns, including ageing and geriatric issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and changes in roles or identity. Jenny encourages realistic planning, practical coping methods, and a steady, supportive process towards clearer next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jenny uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people recognise unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. CBT is practical and often focuses on short-term goals, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting; it helps when people want to understand relationship patterns and feel more secure.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. It means the counsellor follows your pace and priorities, offering reflection and support rather than direction. These approaches can be combined so sessions fit what the person needs at that time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where you and the therapist agree what to focus on and how to move forward.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or removing the need to be on camera when that helps someone engage. Many people find that meeting remotely lets them keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving and other commitments.
