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 Healthy Psychology, and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with adults on common problems that affect life at home and at work.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression in straightforward ways. She supports those coping with grief and bereavement, relationship strain, low self-esteem and difficult emotions. Parenting concerns and family problems are also part of her practice focus.

Her approach draws on well-known therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work. Sessions tend to involve talking things through, noticing patterns, and trying practical steps between meetings. The therapist aims to be direct and clear about what each session will focus on.

Jenny also works with people facing addiction-related issues, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD and eating or sleeping difficulties. She offers support for career stress, life transitions and issues that come with caring for others or long-term health conditions.

People who prefer to reflect on their relationships, boundaries and personal patterns may find this style helpful. She accepts international clients and holds sessions in English. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. It is often used for stress, anxiety, low mood and difficulty with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause ongoing problems. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and habits that get in the way of daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That decision is made together and reviewed as progress is tracked.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm what session types are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around parenting, work and caring duties. Shorter check-ins can suit busy days, and audio sessions use less bandwidth than video. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and between-session tasks so therapy fits into everyday life.
