About Jody

Jody Lumley is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement and trauma. She supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, low self-esteem and major life changes. Jody works with people who are struggling after abuse, domestic violence, or traumatic events.

She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties and compassion fatigue. Jody uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s experience at the heart of each session.

Background and approach

She draws on trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting day-to-day life. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness tools are used to build practical coping strategies. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative, with time to talk and to practise new ways of managing thoughts and emotions.

Her practice emphasises a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere. People can expect a supportive space to talk about painful memories, relational patterns, or work-related stress. Jody listens for patterns such as attachment or abandonment issues and helps people recognise how these affect current relationships.

She has worked with a wide range of experiences including childhood trauma, self-harm, grief and loss, and work-related trauma. Jody is familiar with needs that arise after emergencies and prolonged stress, and she brings nearly a decade of practical counselling experience to sessions. Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and pace.

Conversations may include looking at thoughts and behaviours, grounding and mindfulness exercises, or focusing on trauma-related memories when appropriate. The aim is to help people find clearer ways to cope and to make gradual changes that feel manageable.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Trauma-focused work focuses on helping people process distressing memories and reduce their impact on daily life. It involves careful pacing, grounding exercises and techniques to help people feel steadier when recalling difficult events. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping them find their own solutions to problems.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses practical strategies such as thought records, behavioural experiments and small goal-setting to change unhelpful patterns. These methods can be used alongside mindfulness or trauma-focused techniques depending on what the person needs.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with short-term CBT tasks, adding mindfulness practice, or pacing trauma work over several sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people read facial cues and maintain a regular session rhythm. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, note-taking, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments.
