About Jody

Jody Lumley is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. She also supports people dealing with LGBT issues, intimacy worries, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar challenges and ADHD. Jody works with people coping with major life changes and compassion fatigue.

Jody describes a warm, person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on listening first and understanding each person's experience. She aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without fear of judgement.

Background and approach

Her practice uses a mix of methods tailored to each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques may be used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping. Mindfulness practices can help people become more aware of the present moment and reduce reactivity.

Jody draws on psychodynamic ideas to consider how past experiences shape current patterns. She also uses solution-focused elements to help people identify practical next steps and small, manageable goals. The combination is adjusted to what the individual needs in a session.

She has nine years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Sessions are available in English and offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The practice aims to help people take steady steps towards better day-to-day coping and clearer decision making.

Ways of working Jody names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, so the counsellor listens closely and shapes each session around what the client needs. This approach helps when people want understanding and space to talk through painful feelings or confusing situations.

Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and trying practical alternatives. Online this can include setting small tasks between sessions and reviewing what changed to help with anxiety, low mood or coping skills.

Mindfulness-based techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple breathing and grounding exercises can be practised together in a session and then used in daily life to manage stress and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and adapt methods to fit each person's goals, preferences and situation. That joint decision-making helps build a plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face connection without travel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text messaging is useful for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy schedules, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
