About Lydia

Lydia Freeman is a counsellor who brings five years of experience and a humanistic outlook to her work. She offers a calm, honest space where people can talk about what matters to them. Lydia is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and follows their ethical framework.

Lydia uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to help people feel heard, understood and more able to make choices that fit their life. She combines this with attention to attachment and unconscious processes when that helps make sense of difficult patterns. She often supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and grief.

Lydia also works with issues relating to sexuality, LGBT concerns, parenting pressures, relationship patterns and life transitions. She can help when trauma, abuse or long-term health problems affect daily life. Lydia pays attention to how beliefs and upbringing shape identity.

She has particular interest in supporting people working through religious trauma and the process of deconstructing faith. These conversations include shame, guilt, sexuality and reclaiming self-trust. Therapy with Lydia is collaborative.

She listens first, and then helps people try new ways of coping. Practical steps, emotional processing and slower reflective work can all be part of the process, depending on what each person needs.

Client-Centred Therapy

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

How Lydia's approach translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects feelings and priorities, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits people wanting a respectful, non-directive space to explore feelings such as grief, anxiety or identity concerns.

Where attachment and unconscious process are used, the work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current responses. That can help when trauma, relationship difficulties or long-standing emotional habits cause distress. These ideas are used alongside practical coping strategies when needed.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt how sessions are run. That can mean deeper emotional work one week and practical planning the next, depending on progress and need.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity between sessions.
