About Lydia Jenkins
Lydia Jenkins is an integrative therapist who supports people seeking to understand themselves more deeply and shift long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. She works with individuals wrestling with anxiety, depression, trauma, difficult emotions such as anger and grief, and the everyday burdens of stress and life change. Her approach balances careful listening with practical work on coping strategies so clients can find ways to live with more ease and resilience.
Her practice is grounded in person-centred principles, meaning she places the client at the heart of the work and prioritises empathy, respect, and the client’s own experience. She weaves in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - a method that helps people clarify values and take action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings - alongside compassion-focused work and strengths-based positive techniques to build practical skills as well as insight. This blend allows for both reflective conversation and active exercises tailored to each person.
Lydia holds BACP accreditation, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people move at their own pace and remain in charge of the direction and length of their therapy.

Integrative approaches and online therapy with Lydia Jenkins
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behaviour, then clarify personal values and take meaningful steps toward them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep people stuck.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the individual’s own experiences guide the pace and direction of therapy. This approach supports self-exploration and building confidence to manage life’s challenges.
Mindfulness-based techniques encourage gentle awareness of the present moment and can reduce reactivity to stressful thoughts and sensations, helping with emotion regulation and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lydia collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the work over time in partnership with the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or geographical constraints. For many people, remote sessions make therapy more accessible while still allowing meaningful work with registered professionals and therapists.
