About Jenny
Jenny Lyons is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with four years of professional practice. She holds a first degree in Psychology, a Master’s in Healthy Psychology, and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, and accepts international clients.
Jenny focuses on common and complex problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing life changes, work-related pressures and issues around intimacy and addiction. Her wider interests include body image, parenting strains, neurodiversity concerns and long-term health or caregiving stress.
Her approach draws on several well-known counselling methods. Jenny uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful action. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and practical steps forward.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Jenny aims to help people name what is happening, try out small changes and review what helps. She works alongside clients to set goals and to build skills for managing emotions, relationships and everyday pressures.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and then choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that come from early relationships and how they shape current connections and reactions. It is often used when relationship problems, trust or intimacy issues are a central concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust the approach as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific session types. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Many people find it simpler to join a session from wherever they are, and therapists can adapt exercises and tools to work in a remote setting.
