Hello, I’m Lydia
I help people untangle what’s keeping them stuck so they can begin finding a way through with greater clarity and calm.
Sometimes our feelings and thoughts feel tangled — repetitive, loud, or difficult to resolve. Perhaps things look fine on the outside, but internally something feels unsettled, heavy, or hard to face. This can make it difficult to feel clearly, act freely, or trust ourselves.
At the heart of my approach is a simple idea - some things in life can’t be avoided, bypassed, or neatly solved. They have to be worked through. Not forced or rushed — but approached with the right support beside you. Therapy is often about finding the space, courage and steadiness to move through what feels difficult, rather than continuing to turn away from it.
The path forward is found by moving through it, not around it
How Counselling Works
What will your counselling session be like?
Counselling with me is thoughtful, relaxed yet professional, and taken completely at your pace.
We don't just have to talk, there are various techniques/ tools we can use to take the pressure out of the session and find out what's going on in a more creative way. It really depends on what works for you and we will work this out together.
Communicating is key, so we will check in regularly to discuss how the sessions are going and any adjustments we can make.
Clients often describe gaining greater clarity about their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Things that once felt stuck or overwhelming can begin to feel more workable. Rather than avoiding what feels difficult, people often find they are better able to move through it with greater confidence and self-understanding.
What is the format of the session?
I offer in person, remote online and telephone appointments for adults, at various points during the week, including evenings, from my counselling room in Albrighton - accessible in person by foot or car, and there is a train station 5 minutes walk away.
You can book weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on your needs, and we can change this as we go along.
What are the costs?
Standard sessions last up to 50 minutes and are priced at £55. Longer sessions of 90 minutes are available at the higher rate of £75. These longer sessions are sometimes used as 'Breakthrough Sessions' to delve deep into something, but also may be suitable if you feel standard sessions are too short, if you would like more time for working creatively or if you find you need time to settle into sessions and transition ready to leave.
