A breath of fresh air compared to my previous experiences with therapy. She offers a friendly and welcoming space, free of judgment that I’ve found very comfortable. She knows her stuff and can make you laugh!!! Would recommend Lydia Jenkins :)

Lydia is a truly amazing therapist! She seems to recognise and understand me and my personality traits even better than I understand them myself. She has patiently helped me to feel much more positive about myself and has changed my outlook on life for the better. Every time I chat with her my head feels lighter! I feel truly grateful to have encountered her. Everyone should have a Lydia in their lives!!

So, you may have reached the point where you are ready to make a change. You may be looking to understand yourself in a deeper way and break free of the patterns of the past. You might be sick of that chest gripping fear of anxiety, or carrying around those weighty chains of depression and you are looking to make that first step towards an easier way of living. There may be trauma from the past that is shadowing your life or you may be struggling with difficult emotions such as anger or grief. Let's take the next step together.

As an integrative therapist, I work from a base of person centred therapy but add to that acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion focussed therapy and strengths based positive therapy. This means I can offer a balance of both listening and doing exercises within the therapy room. We can develop coping strategies together and find what works for you.

So you are here, ready to take that step and reach out to someone. If you would like to work with me I will offer a warm, safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where we work at your pace and I always hold your wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. You will always be in charge of our sessions be this short term or long term work.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I had only one meeting with Lydia, but I can say that I felt very comfortable communicating with her. She listened but at the same time interacted with me. I can say that although it was a video call, I felt better after our talk and look forward to our next session.

I struck gold with Lydia. She is a complete professional with all the right tools while at the same time bringing all of herself to the sessions, being a very compassionate, smart and listening human being. It feels genuine all the way. She adapts to my specific needs in therapy and goes above and beyond to help and understand. She is always supportive and there for me. She asks the right questions to help me heal and grow. In summary; she is a life saver.

Lydia has been and continues to be an absolute godsend and I will forever be grateful for her assistance, her expertise, and for the way she has been supporting me on my difficult journey. In the really rough times, she was there for me in a way that went beyond anything you can and should expect from a therapist. She really cares. I couldn’t have done this journey without her, it sounds dramatic, but is absolutely true. Her empathy and expertise are unmatched. I shall forever be grateful for having been matched with this wonderful therapist and human being.

I very much admire the techniques that Lydia Jenkins uses in therapy. I feel Lydia really listens and fully hits points that I’m feeling and helps me through it, even though it’s only been a few sessions I feel like Lydia already knows me and knows how to guide me through life.

First time in my life having the courage to actually start going to therapy and I get the best therapist there is! She is super patient with me, listens to everything I rant about and most important, she kept up with me although I have a big problem with procrastination. She helped me feel happiness again, and made me start looking forward to things in life. I'd recommend her a thousand times.
