About Jenny

Jenny Lyons is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience and holds a first degree in Psychology, a Masters in Health Psychology and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Anger, trauma and unwanted habits also feature among the issues she addresses. Jenny also supports people dealing with life changes, work stress and bereavement.

Sessions focus on what clients bring in the moment. Conversations aim to make strong emotions easier to name and manage. Practical tools and reflective exercises are used to help reduce overwhelming reactions and build clearer thinking about recurring patterns.

Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside person-focused listening. That mix is used to help people notice thoughts and feelings, try new responses and practice different ways of coping.

Jenny encourages straightforward discussion about goals and what people want to change. She works collaboratively to set small steps and check what helps. If you are dealing with rising temper, long-held resentment or someone else’s anger, she can help you explore patterns and practical ways to respond.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety and recurring anger that people want to respond to differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying specific behavioural experiments to change patterns. CBT can be practical for work-related frustration, sleep problems and mood changes.

Finding the best approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and check progress as sessions continue.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins if needed, or remove travel time. It also makes it possible to keep continuity if someone moves or is living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and coping plans to an online setting so the work remains practical and oriented to everyday life.
