Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she became a qualified counsellor in November 2016 and is trained in Rewind therapy. Jody primarily works from a person-centered framework while drawing on an integrative approach so that techniques are adapted to suit each person’s individual needs.

She has extensive experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including members of the emergency services, and works with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, work-related trauma, childhood trauma, all forms of abuse, self-harm, grief and loss, domestic violence, PTSD, complex PTSD and personality disorders. Jody also supports clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, bereavement, addictions, low self-esteem, career changes, and compassion fatigue.

Approaches and online support for flexible care

Jody Lumley combines well-established therapeutic approaches to meet practical and emotional needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work; it is helpful for building self-awareness, exploring relationships, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and can be effective for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle self-observation, offering tools to manage overwhelming emotions and improve day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jody works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and personal preferences, and she adapts interventions over time as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy with Jody is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals from home, during breaks from work, or while managing caregiving and other commitments, supporting continuity of care and practical access to therapy.
