About Jenny

Jenny Lyons is a UK counsellor and psychotherapist with four years of practice. She holds a first degree in Psychology, a Master’s in Health Psychology, and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jenny is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from a straightforward, compassionate stance.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and issues like grief and loss. She also offers support for relationship concerns, workplace strain, and life transitions. Practical problems such as sleep or eating difficulties, addictions, and coping with change are within her scope.

Jenny blends several approaches to suit the person in front of her. That can mean focusing on current thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment patterns, or using acceptance-based strategies to manage difficult feelings. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She encourages people to talk about what matters and to try small, manageable steps between sessions. The emphasis is on real-life changes rather than labels or jargon.

Jenny also works with concerns around ADHD, bipolar, intimacy and body image, and offers support for people dealing with long-term health problems or caring roles. If money and financial issues are affecting wellbeing she can help talk through the stress and decision-making involved.

How therapeutic approaches shape online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress when someone wants less avoidance and more meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours through practical exercises and clear steps, which often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so sessions stay relevant and flexible.

Confirm which session formats Jenny currently offers before booking, as the profile does not list specifics. Online therapy can make it easier to fit help into a busy life - for example fitting a short check-in around work, avoiding travel time, or choosing a quieter setting that reduces disruptions. It also allows continuity when circumstances change, so people can keep momentum with their goals even during transitions.
