Jenny Lyons, BACP

Jenny Lyons is a BACP counsellor who brings four years of professional experience to her practice. She trained in psychology and completed a masters in health psychology, followed by a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jenny offers calm, direct support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes.

She helps people talk through grief, relationship strain and low self-esteem. She also works with issues such as ADHD, addictions and intimacy-related concerns. Practical everyday habits and the thoughts that shape them are a focus in sessions when relevant to the person’s goals.

Jenny draws on a range of approaches, including cognitive behavioural methods, acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based thinking and client-centred listening. She adapts her style to the person in front of her, mixing gentle challenge with practical tools. Sessions aim to make ideas and coping strategies feel usable in daily life.

Her background includes supporting people through bereavement, career stress, long-term health challenges and parenting strains. She pays attention to how attachment and past losses affect present relationships and behaviour. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

Jenny encourages small, steady steps rather than quick fixes. She focuses on helping people notice unhelpful habits and try new ways of responding. The aim is clearer thinking and more manageable routines that fit real life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions linked to their values rather than their fears. It often suits people struggling with anxiety, avoidance or low motivation because it focuses on small steps in everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and difficulties with sleep or routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean using ACT ideas one week and CBT techniques another, or folding in attachment-based reflection when relationships are central.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and pacing so the work is practical and useful in day-to-day life.
