About Jody
Jody Lumley is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and a wide range of life challenges including addiction and ADHD. She offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Her style aims to make talking about hard things easier and more manageable.
Jody uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on each person's experience and priorities. She blends different approaches to suit an individual's needs rather than following one fixed method. Sessions aim to create practical steps and clearer thinking alongside space to process difficult emotions.
Her background includes nine years of practice and work with people from many walks of life, including emergency services. That experience shapes a practical, steady approach when helping with trauma, workplace stress, childhood abuse, self-harm, grief and loss. Jody seeks to meet each person where they are and move at a pace they find comfortable.
People can expect a mix of talking, reflective exercises and simple strategies to try between sessions. The focus may shift over time from immediate coping to longer-term patterns and relationships. Jody wants to help people build resources to manage triggers and move towards more satisfying routines and connections.
Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and supportive. Jody works alongside people who want to take steps towards change, offering encouragement and practical tools for that process.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online work with this approach usually involves open conversation, helping a person name feelings and decide goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often includes homework tasks and simple tools to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and suggest which methods to try first. This collaborative process lets the approach evolve as progress is made and priorities change.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support steady continuity of care when life circumstances change.
