About Jody
Jody Lumley listens to people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience and offers calm, steady support for those coping with depression, addiction, bipolar symptoms and burnout. Jody aims to make it easier to talk about painful or confusing feelings and to find practical next steps.
Her way of working centres on the person in the room. She uses client-centred methods so people set the pace and focus.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices are blended in when they suit a person’s goals. Jody also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Sessions are intended to be straightforward and down to earth.
Conversations will cover current difficulties such as parenting stress, work-related trauma, ADHD-related challenges, codependency and problems with communication. Jody also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, separation and issues linked to illness or caregiving. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can say what they feel and try new ways of coping.
Practical steps, small experiments and clearer thinking are commonly part of the work. Expect a collaborative approach that balances short-term goals with exploring deeper patterns over time. Jody trained and qualified in November 2016 and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works in English. To begin, complete the platform Start Therapy questionnaire and follow the scheduling steps.

How Jody works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and help decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as you progress.
The biography does not specify the exact online formats offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. They also allow continuity if schedules or location change, while still enabling the same collaborative, practical style of work described above.
