Jody Lumley, BACP

Jody Lumley is a BACP registered counsellor who offers compassionate, person-focused support to people facing a wide range of challenges. She became a qualified counsellor in November 2016 and combines a person-centred framework with an integrative style, selecting techniques to suit each individual’s needs. She is trained in Rewind therapy and draws on that alongside other approaches when appropriate to help clients process distressing memories and move forward.

Jody has worked with people from diverse backgrounds, including staff from emergency services, and has experience addressing ADHD, work-related trauma, childhood trauma, all forms of abuse, self-harm, grief and loss, domestic violence, PTSD, complex PTSD, and personality disorders. She supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, addiction, self-esteem and many other life challenges listed in her specialties.

Her practice focuses on creating an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. Jody aims to empower each person to take steps toward a more fulfilling life, working collaboratively to identify goals and adapt therapeutic tools to the client’s pace and preferences. She is based in the United Kingdom and provides support through a variety of remote formats.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Jody uses a client-centred approach that prioritises the individual’s experience, offering a warm, non-directive space where a person’s own goals and values shape the work. This approach can be particularly helpful for building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem, and navigating relationship or identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also part of her practice. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to distress and developing practical strategies to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.

Mindfulness-based techniques are integrated when helpful to support grounding, emotional regulation, and present-moment awareness, which can assist people coping with trauma, stress, or rumination.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process - Jody works alongside each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, Jody provides flexible access to therapeutic support. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage in a way that feels most comfortable for them while working with a registered professional.
