About Jenny
Jenny Lyons is a UK counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience. She holds a first degree in Psychology, a Master’s in Healthy Psychology and a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jenny lists common concerns she supports including stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, relationship strain and life transitions.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based work and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and client-centred practice. Sessions aim to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding to them.
Jenny helps people talk through life events such as bereavement, separation and work-related stress. She also addresses issues like sleeping and eating problems, addiction-related concerns, coping with chronic illness and questions about intimacy. ADHD, bipolar concerns and body image are also listed among her areas of focus.
In early sessions she typically clarifies goals and practical next steps. That might include simple behavioural experiments, thought records or exercises to regulate strong emotions. She encourages straightforward skills that can be practised between meetings.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How CBT, ACT and attachment work online
Jenny commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify specific thought patterns and test small behavioural changes. CBT sessions focus on clear steps such as keeping thought records, planning experiments and reviewing what changed. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used alongside CBT to notice thoughts without trying to fight them and to clarify values that guide practical action. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current responses, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process may shift over time as practical exercises reveal what helps most.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. People often appreciate being able to schedule around work, study or caregiving. If you need to check in without being on camera or prefer shorter check-ins, mention that when you book. Confirm the current session options before you complete booking so you know which formats are offered.
