Lydia is named up front so visitors know who they would be working with.

She brings nine years of experience working with adults and young people in one-to-one and group settings. Lydia completed a BSc (Hons) in therapeutic counselling and supervision and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

Lydia uses an integrated style rooted in a person-centred way of working. She aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people feel listened to. Conversations focus on what matters now and on practical steps people can try between sessions.

Her practice draws on Attachment-Based work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside existential ideas. This mix lets her address relationships, patterns that repeat, and the thoughts and behaviours that keep people stuck. Lydia has experience supporting people affected by abuse, self-harm and suicidal ideation, as well as complex issues such as personality difficulties, chronic illness and caring responsibilities.

She offers individual therapy remotely to people across the UK and internationally, with options for video, phone, chat or text-based sessions. People who choose Lydia can expect steady, compassionate listening and clear discussion about goals. Sessions aim to help clients notice patterns, try new ways of relating and build coping skills that fit their everyday life.

How Lydia’s approaches work online

Attachment-Based work focuses on the patterns people form in close relationships. It helps when someone keeps repeating the same relationship problems or feels unsafe with intimacy. Client-Centred Therapy centres on empathic listening and unconditional regard so people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and the therapist will help decide what fits best. This is a collaborative conversation that draws on your goals, the issues you bring and your preferences. Lydia can combine methods and check in as work progresses to make sure the plan still feels helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face to face when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and written reflections easy to fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, caring duties and travel while working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
