Jenny Lyons, BACP

Jenny Lyons is a counsellor and psychotherapist who holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience. She trained in psychology and completed a Masters in Healthy Psychology, followed by a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jenny offers grounded, straightforward support for people facing difficult changes and intense feelings.

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people coping with grief, relationship difficulties and life transitions. Clients come for help with low self-esteem, trauma-related concerns and unwanted habits that get in the way of daily life.

In sessions she aims to build an open, non-judgemental space. Conversations are practical and person-centred, so people can name what matters and try small, achievable steps. She encourages reflection and real-life changes rather than only talking about problems.

Jenny draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape the work. She uses elements of cognitive behavioural methods to identify thoughts and patterns, acceptance-based ideas to handle painful feelings, and attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships affect behaviour.

People seeking support for midlife questions, career changes, caregiving strain or chronic health concerns may find this helpful. Jenny aims to help clients regain a sense of purpose, manage emotions more easily and take clearer next steps in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences decide their actions. It supports building a values-based life and is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits, then testing small changes to shift mood and behaviour; it often helps with anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional reactions, and can be useful for intimacy issues and recurring relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and everyday routines. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the person's life and priorities.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can keep continuity of care when they move or travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises for remote sessions so practical progress can still be made.
