Jody Lumley, BACP

Jody Lumley is a BACP-registered counsellor who brings nine years of practice supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She trained in Rewind therapy and qualified in November 2016, and she blends a person-centred, integrative way of working to adapt to each client's needs. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Jody has extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, including personnel from the emergency services, and she has supported people dealing with ADHD, work-related trauma, childhood trauma, and many forms of abuse. Her practice also covers self-harm, grief and loss, domestic violence, PTSD and complex PTSD, and personality disorder presentations. In addition to trauma-focused work, she supports issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, addictions, intimacy and family concerns, career-related stress, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

In sessions, Jody aims to create an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. She works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, build coping strategies, and empower them to make meaningful changes. Whether addressing immediate difficulties or longer-term patterns, her approach is adaptable and focused on meeting the individual needs of each person seeking support.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and healing

Jody commonly uses client-centred therapy, which centers on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own priorities guide the work. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and emotional processing by encouraging personal insight and self-directed change.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily coping challenges by teaching tools to manage symptoms and respond differently to triggers.

Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness techniques often support clients dealing with stress, rumination, and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Jody works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She tailors the plan and adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online therapy with Jody is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, during breaks, or while managing family and work commitments, supporting consistent access to therapeutic support.
