Jody Lumley helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, low self-esteem and anger. Jody also works with people managing ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, career strain and major life changes.

She is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience. Jody aims to make the first step feel manageable and practical. She offers a calm, non-judgemental way of talking things through so people can start to make small changes.

Background and approach

Her approach is person-centred and adaptable. Sessions focus on what the individual needs in that moment, whether that is exploring feelings, learning simple coping tools, or looking at patterns that keep problems stuck. Practical strategies from cognitive behavioural work can be mixed with longer-term reflection when that suits the person.

Jody has worked with people affected by childhood trauma, work-related trauma and all forms of abuse. She also supports those coping with grief, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns and the effects of separation or domestic violence. This background shapes a sensitive way of responding to difficult material.

People can expect steady, plain-spoken support rather than quick fixes. Jody encourages realistic goals and small steps that fit everyday life. The aim is to help people feel more able to manage emotions and make clearer choices about next steps.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. Jody uses a mix of talking, practical exercises and mindful awareness tailored to each person she works with.

How Jody’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred work places the person’s concerns at the heart of each session. It involves open listening, reflecting what is said and helping the individual choose what to focus on next. This approach suits people seeking steady, empathetic support for emotional pain and relationship strain.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical steps such as short exercises and behaviour experiments to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns. This style often helps with stress, anxiety, low mood and some relationship challenges.

Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices into everyday life. Short breathing or awareness exercises can reduce overwhelm and help people respond to strong emotions more deliberately. These techniques are useful alongside talking work when someone needs ways to manage intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adapt the plan as progress is seen. That means people can blend short-term problem-solving with deeper reflection depending on their needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break, while live chat or text messaging can allow shorter check-ins or written reflections. These options make it simpler to keep continuity with therapy around busy schedules and different life demands.
