Lidia Alvarez Veas

Lidia Alvarez Veas is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, unsure about relationships, or uncertain about what matters next. Her stated concerns include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Lidia invites straightforward conversation about what is making life harder. She encourages clients to talk through relationship difficulties, codependency, communication and control issues, or feelings of emptiness. She also supports people dealing with fertility or immigration issues, infidelity, fatherhood questions, isolation and midlife concerns, and explores life purpose when that is part of the struggle.

Her approach draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques. She uses person-centred listening alongside psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural ideas, and mentions transactional analysis and internal family systems as tools she may bring in. Sessions focus on tracing how past patterns affect present choices and building practical coping skills.

Lidia describes her practice as trauma-informed and inclusive. She pays attention to how difficult experiences shape coping styles and relationship patterns, while aiming to increase assertiveness and self-esteem. Conversations are intended to be respectful and non-judgemental, and she works with clients at a pace that suits them.

She offers work in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Her background in Communication Sciences and her own experience of therapy inform how she supports others. To begin, people can use the online matching and booking route to arrange a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

She draws on a small set of psychological approaches to guide online sessions. Person-centred work focuses on careful listening and following what you bring to the conversation, which helps when sorting out values or life purpose. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences influence current patterns, useful for relationship repeat behaviours and family of origin themes. Cognitive behavioural techniques introduce concrete strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking.

Deciding which mix fits best is part of the work. She will discuss options with clients, try different methods and adapt as goals and needs become clearer. That collaborative process helps to match tools to the problem rather than promising a single solution.

The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the options offered at booking, so please confirm current session formats before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. If you need sessions in English or Spanish, that is available; international arrangements are possible and will be agreed when you schedule the first appointment.
