About Lydia
Lydia Jenkins is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and those facing life changes or relationship and intimacy concerns. Lydia also works with people affected by trauma, grief, anger and issues related to ADHD and LGBT matters.
She combines a person-centred foundation with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work and mindfulness. That means sessions include both listening and practical exercises. Lydia aims to help clients develop coping strategies and notice patterns that keep difficulties going.
In sessions she uses straightforward conversations, reflective listening and simple exercises. Clients can expect to talk through recent events, look at how feelings show up in daily life, and try tools for managing distress. Work may include noticing thoughts, practising mindful skills and exploring relationship patterns rooted in attachment.
Lydia describes therapy as collaborative. She encourages people to set the pace and make choices about short-term or longer-term work. The approach is about small steps and finding what helps in everyday situations.
Her experience includes a broad range of concerns such as chronic pain and illness, communication problems, body image and sexual diversity matters including BDSM and kink. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.
How Lydia uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with ongoing anxiety, avoidance and when worry gets in the way of living.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that developed early in life and how they affect current connections. This work can be useful for people who notice repeating problems in friendships or intimate relationships.
Mindfulness Therapy involves simple practices to increase awareness of the present moment and reduce reactivity. It often helps with stress, sleeplessness and anger by teaching short attention exercises people can use day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lydia will talk with clients about their concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

Lydia uses her therapeutic approaches to guide practical exercises and coping strategies that clients can practise between sessions.
