Lidia Alvarez Veas, BACP

Lidia Alvarez Veas works with people experiencing emotional distress, offering support to those who feel overwhelmed by life, strained by difficult relationships, or unsure how to identify and meet their own needs. She focuses on areas such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, while also addressing related concerns like codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness.

Her practice is trauma informed and rooted in inclusivity, creating a welcoming space where people can speak openly at their own pace. She takes a flexible, non-judgemental stance and adapts sessions to each person’s circumstances, using a blend of therapeutic methods. Her work draws on Person-centred therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to tailor interventions and tools that fit individual needs.

In sessions she explores how past experiences influence present patterns, helping clients identify unhelpful behaviours, process difficult events, and develop new coping strategies to self-regulate and improve relationships. The aim is to support growth in self-esteem, assertiveness, and authenticity so people can move toward a more fulfilling life.

Originally from Spain, she studied Communication Sciences and later trained as a therapist, inspired by her own positive experience of therapy. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.
