About Jenny

Jenny Lyons works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and a wide range of other concerns using conversational, person-centred methods. She is a BACP counsellor with four years of professional experience. Jenny holds a first degree in Psychology, a Masters in Health Psychology and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She offers straightforward, talk-based sessions where people can say what is on their mind and consider practical steps forward. Sessions focus on everyday problems such as sleep, eating, work stress and relationship strain. She also supports people coping with major life changes and bereavement.

Her clinical work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred approaches, among others. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns of thought and try different ways of responding to difficult feelings. Jenny also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships influence current ones.

People come to her about a broad range of issues including ADHD, addictions, intimacy-related concerns and chronic health challenges. She also works with matters such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems and divorce or separation. The focus is on practical steps that can reduce distress day to day.

Jenny practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She welcomes clients from different places and will discuss what would work best for each person at the first meeting. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical changes in behaviour to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with relationship problems and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods to use based on the person’s goals and preferences. The focus is on what feels helpful and practical, and she will review progress together as sessions continue.

Session arrangements are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins where needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to support people who live further away or who prefer to meet remotely, and Jenny can explain the best way to schedule sessions when you make initial contact.
