About Lidia
Lidia Alvarez Veas is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and major life changes. Lidia also addresses topics such as codependency, communication problems, emptiness, family of origin issues, fertility and immigration concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Lidia aims to make the first steps into therapy less intimidating. She invites clients to say what feels hard and what they hope to change. Conversations are paced to each person, and she encourages direct talk about painful memories or current patterns when clients are ready.
Her background in Communication Sciences informs a practical focus on how people relate and talk about their needs. She draws on several evidence-based techniques to look at how past experiences influence present behaviour. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful patterns and practising different ways of responding to stressful moments.
Work with Lidia includes building everyday coping skills for mood and anxiety, and practical tools for repairing or changing relationship patterns. She also supports people processing trauma and abuse by combining emotional reflection with concrete steps for self-regulation. Conversations may cover how identity, migration or fatherhood questions affect current wellbeing.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. International clients can be accepted, and practical arrangements are made when someone is ready to begin. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled through the See online therapy options button.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Many of the techniques Lidia draws on focus on understanding patterns and developing practical skills. Cognitive-behavioural approaches look at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teach skills to manage anxiety and low mood. These methods are useful for stress, mood difficulties and everyday coping.Another common strand is psychodynamic-informed work, which pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions. This can help when recurring relationship problems, family of origin issues or feelings of emptiness are involved. When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, therapy includes grounding and regulation strategies alongside reflective work to reduce overwhelming reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options with the client, try methods that fit their needs, and adapt over time based on what helps. Decisions about pace and techniques are made together, so the work stays practical and focused on the client's priorities.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work or family life, or useful when travel is difficult. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, sessions outside normal office hours, and easy access for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, will explain which formats they offer when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
