About Jody

Reaching out for help can be one of the most difficult steps someone takes, and Jody Lumley understands that doing so takes real strength rather than weakness. She is a BACP-registered counsellor - registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and became qualified in November 2016. Trained in Rewind therapy and working primarily from a person-centred perspective, she also uses an integrative approach when appropriate to meet each client’s needs.

Jody has extensive experience supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds, including those who work in the emergency services. Her practice covers a broad span of concerns such as ADHD, work-related trauma, childhood trauma, all forms of abuse, self-harm, grief and loss, domestic violence, PTSD, complex PTSD and personality disorders. She works collaboratively with clients to address stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, depression, and other challenges listed in her specialties.

In sessions she focuses on creating an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Jody aims to support and empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life, helping them to build coping strategies and move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jody draws on client-centred therapy to place the person's perspective at the heart of the work, offering an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore feelings, values and relationships. This approach is useful for building self-understanding and addressing issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. CBT is action-oriented and often focused on skills that can be used between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy is another tool Jody may introduce to support clients in learning present-focused awareness and stress-reduction techniques, which can complement work on anxiety, trauma-related reactions and coping with intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jody works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors her integrative practice to suit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support is available via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options helps people access consistent care around work, family and other commitments and makes it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
