About Lidia
Lidia Alvarez Veas offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or relationship pain. She introduces simple ways to make decisions, set boundaries, and reconnect with what matters. Her tone is warm and non-judgemental to help people feel heard from the first session.
She focuses on emotional distress, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Lidia also pays attention to issues such as codependency, communication problems, control issues, emptiness and family of origin concerns.
How Lidia works
Other areas she supports include fertility and fatherhood issues, immigration-related stress, infidelity, loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, midlife transitions and mood changes. Her practice uses a combination of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor sessions to each person. Conversations look at how past experiences affect present behaviour and aim to spot unhelpful patterns.
Sessions also include practical coping ideas to manage strong feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Lidia works in English and Spanish and is based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She draws on her background in Communication Sciences and on personal experience of therapy to shape how she supports people. People who want flexible contact options can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Getting started is a short process: select the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Many of the evidence-based techniques Lidia draws on focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. Cognitive-based approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Psychodynamic-influenced work looks at how early experiences influence present behaviour, helping to identify recurring patterns that affect relationships and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lidia will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted over time as needs change.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, reflective notes between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on progress and practical outcomes.
