Jenny Lyons
Experienced UK counsellor focused on practical coping
About Jenny
Jenny Lyons is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, has a first degree in psychology, a master's in health psychology, and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jenny has four years of professional experience supporting people through difficult times.
She offers straightforward, calm sessions where people can talk about what matters to them.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, practical steps that can make daily life easier. Jenny aims to create a non-judgemental space where feelings and worries can be named and understood. Her work addresses stress, anxiety, low mood and grief.
She also helps people with self-esteem, relationship concerns, addiction, sleep problems and managing life changes. Other areas she supports include ADHD, bipolar and issues linked to eating and body image. Jenny draws on several approaches to match a person’s needs, including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy.
Sessions are adapted to the person rather than following a rigid plan. People who see Jenny usually want practical coping tools and clearer thinking about their next steps. She encourages small experiments between sessions and checks in about what works.
The aim is to help people feel more able to handle stress and move towards values-based goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and making life changes by focusing on what matters rather than trying to remove every uncomfortable thought.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It can help people who feel stuck in repeating old relationship cycles or who want steadier emotional connection with others.
Jenny will work with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best. That choice is a shared process based on needs, goals and personal preference, and it can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation when watching expressions helps, phone works well when less bandwidth is needed, and messaging can suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
