About Jenny

Jenny Lyons is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience and combines a first degree in Psychology, a Masters in Health Psychology, and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She frames sessions around practical goals and steady progress.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She aims to create an open place where people can talk about hard feelings without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small steps that can change day-to-day life.

Jenny works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and sleep problems. She also supports people facing life changes, work stress, addictions, and issues linked to identity and intimacy. Jenny can help with practical habits, coping strategies and emotional understanding.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. In practice this means exploring thoughts and feelings, trying out new behaviours, and building manageable routines around rest and sleep.

Jenny aims to work together with each person to set realistic goals and to find what works in everyday life. She emphasises collaboration and pace, matching techniques to the person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Therapeutic approaches useful for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and letting go of unhelpful patterns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for low mood, worry and sleep problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses, helping people understand and change recurring relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable. Together they will try methods and adjust them based on what helps in real life, aiming for a collaborative plan rather than a fixed recipe.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find booked sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments, and some formats let you have shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when that helps. Online work can make it simpler to keep a consistent routine and to practise sleep or relaxation strategies between meetings.
