Lidia Alvarez VeasBACP

Lidia Alvarez Veas offers a calm, welcoming space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She is comfortable supporting those dealing with relationship strain, trauma, low self-esteem and fertility concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and Lidia works with people who are navigating immigration challenges, isolation, and shifts in purpose or identity.

Lidia uses a flexible counselling style that adapts to each person's needs. She draws on elements from a range of psychotherapy approaches so sessions can focus on practical coping skills or on exploring how past experiences affect current patterns. Conversations aim to help people notice unhelpful habits, learn self-regulation techniques and build clearer boundaries.

Her background includes training in Communication Sciences and three years of practice as a counsellor. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Those details inform how she frames sessions and the professional standards she follows.

Lidia describes her work as non-judgemental and trauma-informed. She emphasises a pace chosen by the person in session and offers a space to speak about difficult topics without restrictions. The focus is on gaining insight, developing new coping strategies and improving self-esteem and assertiveness.

People who choose to work with Lidia typically explore relationship issues, fertility or fatherhood concerns, mood difficulties and communication problems. Her style balances practical tools with reflective conversation to help clients move towards clearer decisions and a more authentic life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Psychodynamic-informed work helps people name patterns that come from earlier relationships and see how those patterns appear now. This is useful for relationship issues, family of origin concerns and repeated behaviours that cause distress. Cognitive-behavioural techniques focus on practical steps to manage mood and anxiety, teaching skills such as breathing, activity planning and thought checks to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide whether more reflective work or skills-based sessions suit their goals. Plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge, so the therapeutic method is agreed together.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm what is available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a longer in-person visit would be difficult. Some people prefer sessions that focus on short practical skills, while others use the time to look more deeply at personal history; both styles can be adapted to remote work depending on the agreed format and the person's needs.
