Jenny Lyons

Jenny Lyons is a UK counsellor and psychotherapist who trained through the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holding a first degree in Psychology, a Masters in Health Psychology, and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years of professional experience. Jenny aims to make it easier for people to talk about hard things and to take the first steps towards change.

Her work covers many common struggles, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship strain, and anger. She also helps people dealing with sleep and eating concerns, addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties, and life transitions such as bereavement or work pressures.

Jenny uses a mix of approaches and draws on methods that fit each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with thoughts and behaviour. Attachment‑based and client‑centred ideas shape how she builds trust and listens. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools are also part of her toolbox for managing strong emotions.

In sessions she creates a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and practical problems. She works at a steady pace and focuses on small, useful changes that people can practise between meetings. Jenny supports people exploring identity, intimacy, family tensions, and career stresses without rushing conclusions.

People who come to her often want straightforward help with coping, clearer thinking, and more stable routines. She encourages clients to set clear goals and checks in on progress as work continues.

How Jenny’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and difficulties with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns between thoughts, feelings and actions and then practising different responses to reduce distress and improve routines.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most helpful, try out approaches together, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This shared decision-making helps match techniques to the person’s goals and daily life.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone depending on how they prefer to connect. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt exercises, worksheets and breathing or grounding practices to work well over distance, so therapeutic tasks can be continued between sessions.
