About Sydney Lewis

Sydney Lewis began his professional journey in health, fitness, and well-being before moving into counselling and psychotherapy, a shift that brought his focus to helping people find meaning, purpose, and practical ways to overcome life’s challenges. He works with individuals to explore the why and the how of who they are, helping them recognise what can be changed and what may be wiser to accept, and supporting them to cultivate the strengths needed to flourish rather than simply focusing on what is wrong.

With 10 years of clinical experience, he brings a broad skill set to work with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing specific situations including abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism spectrum concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiving stress, commitment and communication problems, and others.

Sydney draws on evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered approaches, tailoring work to each person’s needs. He is an accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and operates from the United Kingdom while accepting international clients. His practice emphasises collaboration, practical tools, and compassionate support to help clients move toward clearer values and more effective living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning practical ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed early in life and explores how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional safety - it can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment difficulties, and family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers structured strategies to reduce distress and build coping skills; it is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Sydney treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He works with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adapts techniques over time to fit changing needs. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in decisions about their care.

Online therapy with Sydney offers practical flexibility - sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. These options increase accessibility for people with busy lives, mobility limits, or those living outside his local area, while still allowing therapists and licensed professionals to deliver focused, skills-based support tailored to the individual.
