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 holds a first degree in Psychology, a Master’s in Health Psychology, and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jenny works with adults on common mental health and life-change concerns.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety, and supports those facing depression and low self-esteem. She also works with clients dealing with grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. Young adults navigating early career pressures, study stress, and identity questions are part of the focus areas listed in her profile.
Jenny uses a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred techniques alongside attachment-based and dialectical skills when helpful. Sessions tend to emphasise clear practical steps and exploring patterns that keep problems active.
In a session she encourages open conversation about difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations aim to clarify what matters to the person and identify small, manageable changes. She also addresses practical life issues like work stress, sleep, eating concerns and coping with major transitions.
Her background in health psychology means she pays attention to how physical health and long-term conditions affect mood. People who want straightforward, respectful support for everyday pressures may find this approach useful. To start, clients follow the site booking steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Jenny commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps in those directions while learning new ways to relate to difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then decide together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. When arranged, online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy routine, make it easier to have shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoid travel time. They also allow people to use audio-only contact when that suits them better or conserve bandwidth by not using video. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan a session cadence that matches study, work or other daily responsibilities.
