About Lidia
BACP. 3 years' experience. Lidia Alvarez Veas works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes. She offers counselling in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Lidia describes her role as guiding people through emotional distress and relationship strain. She invites clients to speak at their own pace and addresses whatever comes up in conversation. Her sessions focus on understanding how past experiences affect current patterns and on practical ways to manage strong feelings.
Her way of working is flexible. She draws on a range of psychotherapy methods to choose tools that fit each person's situation. Sessions may include exploring patterns from family of origin, looking at communication and codependency issues, and developing new coping skills for mood problems or isolation.
Lidia pays attention to trauma and its effects. She integrates that understanding into sessions and aims to help people recover from difficult experiences and build steadier self-regulation. Work can include developing assertiveness, improving self-esteem and addressing fatherhood or fertility concerns as they arise in individual therapy.
She trained originally in Communication Sciences and later qualified as a counsellor. Her own experience of therapy informed her decision to work in this field. People who choose her can expect a respectful, non-judgemental approach and practical conversation focused on clearer thinking and improved day-to-day coping.
How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling
Many of the methods Lidia mentions involve structured work and talking together. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past relationships influence present patterns so clients can notice repeated behaviours and make different choices.She also uses person‑centred elements that emphasise listening and the client’s perspective, and trauma‑informed ways of working that pay attention to how difficult experiences affect feelings and coping. Choosing the right mix is collaborative; the counsellor and client will review what helps and adapt the approach as they go.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by saving travel time or by fitting a short check‑in around work. If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking, since options are set when arranging appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can successfully use online work for talking through relationship issues, managing anxiety and attending to trauma‑related effects, and the therapist will help decide which way of working suits each person.
