About Lydia
Lydia Chapman is a BACP-registered counsellor with nine years of professional experience. She works with young adults and adults on common pressures such as anxiety, stress, relationships and coping with life changes. Lydia also supports people dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.
She uses an integrated way of working built around a person-centred, Rogerian core. That means she focuses on a collaborative relationship, clear communication and accepting the client without judgement. Sessions typically involve talking through current difficulties, looking at how past experiences affect present feelings, and trying new ways of responding to problems.
Lydia draws on several approaches to match what a person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioural techniques to address thought and behaviour cycles, and emotionally-focused work to name and process painful feelings. Existential questions about meaning and direction are also part of her practice when those issues arise.
Her background includes one-to-one and group work within charities and community services. That experience informs practical strategies for dealing with things like low self-esteem, anger, and coping after bereavement. Lydia has also worked with people affected by domestic abuse, sexual trauma and self-harm.
She offers therapy to people in the United Kingdom and internationally by remote sessions, and can meet face to face in her local area. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How Lydia’s approaches work in online sessions
Lydia commonly blends attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice repeating dynamics. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lydia treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss what feels most useful based on a client’s goals and preferences. Together they check how techniques are landing and adjust the focus over time.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around study, work or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins by phone or camera when needed, and reduce time spent travelling to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make remote sessions practical for everyday life while working on the issues that brought someone to therapy.
