About Jody
Jody Lumley is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and a range of other concerns. Jody offers practical, conversational sessions aimed at noticing patterns and trying different responses to them.
Her work is grounded in client-centred practice with an integrative stance. That means she listens to what matters most and draws on methods that fit each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears among the approaches she uses when thinking patterns and behaviours are part of the problem.
Jody has supported people dealing with ADHD, work-related trauma, childhood trauma, self-harm, domestic violence, PTSD and complex PTSD. She also assists with issues such as codependency, attachment and abandonment, communication difficulties, and coping with major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of responding to difficult feelings.
In conversation she aims to create an open, non-judgemental environment and works at a steady pace. Sessions typically involve noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying new behavioural experiments, and reflecting on what helps. She draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to support short-term goals as well as deeper psychodynamic work when that is helpful.
People who contact her complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Jody does not take international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jody uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test different responses. CBT sessions often involve short at-home exercises, thought records and workable behaviour experiments that can be reviewed in later meetings.She also draws on client-centred practice, which focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. That style supports building a clearer sense of priorities and practical next steps. Mindfulness therapy is used to develop simple attention and grounding skills for stress and anxiety management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jody discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods as needed. This is a collaborative process to decide whether CBT, mindfulness, or other techniques make the most sense for current concerns.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss how sessions will run during the initial scheduling step so practical arrangements match everyday life.
