Lydia Jenkins , BACP

Lydia Jenkins is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She works from a person-centred base and combines listening with practical exercises, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, compassion-focused techniques, and strengths-based positive approaches to help clients build coping strategies and identify what works for them.

Her practice supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes, as well as those managing ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, anger, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, co-morbidity, commitment and communication challenges, dissociation, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are shaped around the individual so that the person seeking help directs the pace of work, whether for short-term goals or longer-term exploration. Lydia emphasises a warm, non-judgemental space where therapeutic work balances reflective listening with practical skill-building. She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
