Jody Lumley , BACP

Jody Lumley is a BACP-registered counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), who brings a person-centred and integrative approach to therapeutic work. She trained in Rewind therapy and became fully qualified in November 2016, combining that training with flexible methods to meet each client’s individual needs.

Jody has supported people from a wide range of backgrounds, including those who work in emergency services, and has experience with 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 with clients addressing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, self-esteem and many other concerns listed in her areas of focus.

In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. Her style is collaborative and empowering, helping people take the first steps toward change and a more fulfilling life. Jody offers professional support that focuses on understanding each person’s story and building practical ways to move forward.

Jody blends client-centred practice with evidence-informed techniques to support people working through difficult life experiences. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals guide the work - this approach helps when someone needs acceptance, validation and support to explore feelings and make personal changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and to improve everyday functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity, support emotion regulation and complement other approaches when coping with trauma, grief or ongoing stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jody works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the plan over time as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from different locations while keeping the focus on progress and wellbeing.
