About Lidia
Counsellor Lidia Alvarez Veas is a BACP member with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck after trauma, or uncertain about relationships and life changes. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Lidia works in a straightforward way. She listens to what is happening now and how the past affects present choices. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, improving communication, and building practical skills to manage mood and stress.
Her approach draws on several well known methods. Lidia uses person-centred listening alongside psychodynamic ideas about how earlier experiences shape feelings. She also brings in cognitive-behavioural tools for managing anxiety and reactions, and parts work to help when people feel conflicted inside.
In practice this means short, clear steps some weeks and deeper reflection in others. She encourages small experiments between sessions, such as noticing triggers or trying different ways of speaking about needs. Work can include exploring family of origin issues, codependency, control problems, infertility and fatherhood concerns where these are relevant to the person sitting in front of her.
Originally from Spain, Lidia studied Communication Sciences before training as a counsellor. Her background informs an interest in how people relate and communicate. The process of arranging a first session is simple: use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
She draws on person-centred work which focuses on careful listening and helping the person clarify what matters most to them. This approach is useful for people who want to be heard and to look at how they feel about their relationships and choices.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and family patterns influence current behaviour. This can help when someone wants to understand recurring patterns or childhood influences that affect decisions today.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree together which methods to try. That decision is reviewed as the work progresses so methods can change if they are not helping.
The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose audio-only contact if that suits them better than being on camera.
