Lydia Jenkins, BACP

Lydia Jenkins supports people who are ready to make a change and explore deeper understanding of themselves. She works with clients who want to break free of longstanding patterns, reduce the tight grip of anxiety, ease the burden of depression, or address trauma and difficult emotions such as anger and grief. She invites clients to take a first step toward a more manageable way of living and offers steady support throughout that process.

As an integrative therapist, she bases her work on person-centred principles and draws on acceptance and commitment techniques, compassion-focused ideas, and strengths-based positive approaches. This blend allows her to combine attentive listening with practical exercises - tailoring sessions to what each person needs. Together with clients she develops coping strategies and explores what methods feel most effective in their daily lives.

When clients choose to work with her, she provides a warm, safe, non-judgemental and personal space where pacing is guided by the client. Lydia keeps wellbeing central to the work and ensures that clients remain in control of session length and direction, whether they are seeking short-term support or longer-term therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches Available Remotely

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients identify what matters to them and take actions aligned with their values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep people from the life they want. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses, supporting work on abandonment, attachment wounds, relationship patterns, and intimacy issues. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the client’s own perspective and pace, offering non-directive support that helps people feel heard and make their own choices about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Lydia works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit. She listens to a client’s goals, preferences, and life context and adapts methods so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions offer flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging depending on what suits them. This range of options makes it easier to access therapy around work, family, or geographical constraints, while still allowing therapists and registered professionals to build a consistent, supportive therapeutic relationship.
