Jenny Lyons is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience. She uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to help people facing hard moments.

She trained in psychology and completed a Master’s in Health Psychology, followed by a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Those studies inform a practical, evidence-aware way of working.

Background and approach

Jenny draws on different approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She helps people talk through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and difficult emotions arising from trauma.

Practical skills and real-life strategies are offered alongside chances to make sense of painful experiences. Jenny also supports people managing life transitions, relationship challenges, work stress and losses such as bereavement. She addresses related concerns including sleep and eating difficulties, addictions, ADHD, and issues around identity and intimacy.

Her style is warm, non-judgemental and collaborative. Jenny aims to create a space where someone can feel heard and try out new ways of coping. She encourages small steps that fit into day-to-day life and helps people track progress between sessions.

Approach-led online therapy that fits your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while focusing on what matters most. It supports those dealing with anxiety, low mood and life changes by encouraging values-based action and simple exercises. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenny will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs, then suggest how ACT or CBT, or elements from other approaches, might fit. The plan can change as work progresses so the approach stays relevant to what the person wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to allow flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or who need more flexible timing across the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
