About Jenny
Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' practice supporting people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and related concerns. Jenny Lyons writes in straightforward terms and focuses on helping people manage difficult emotions and life changes.
She trained in psychology and holds a first degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Health Psychology. She also completed a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. These qualifications shape how she works rather than promising any single method.
In sessions she uses a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred approaches. That means conversations centre on what matters to the person, practical ways of shifting unhelpful patterns, and clearer understanding of thoughts and feelings.
Jenny commonly supports people facing bereavement, relationship strain, work stress and the emotional effects of trauma. She also helps with problems such as sleep and eating concerns, addictive patterns, ADHD-related difficulties and body image worries. The emphasis is on straightforward, practical steps alongside steady listening.
Her work includes longer life transitions, caregiver strain, chronic health issues and the effects of ageing. People who want calm, direct conversation about how to manage emotions and make small changes may find this approach useful.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It uses simple exercises and values-based goals to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical strategies to change them. It suits anxiety, low mood and stress through structured tasks and short experiments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods suit the person’s needs and aims. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as therapy goes on.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and support regular contact when life is busy. Some formats may also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that helps someone take part. Registered or accredited professionals and their clients often find that these practical arrangements help therapy fit into everyday life.
