How Lucy works
She has 17 years of continuous experience working across many presenting problems. That background means she has seen a lot of different situations and can draw on many approaches when needed. Her style is straightforward and person-focused.
She aims to work with the issues the client brings, rather than imposing a fixed path. Sessions often look at what is happening now and what small steps could make things feel more manageable. Lucy describes herself as warm, non-judgemental and confident.
She blends different therapeutic methods to suit each person, favouring clear, practical ways to help people move forward. Therapy can be short-term, longer-term or time-limited depending on the need. Sessions are available by video call or telephone, and she offers support in English.

Online support options
How Lucy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in the room. It aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client sets the agenda and the counsellor follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people develop practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and many everyday problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucy will discuss how different methods might help and together with the client decide what to try first. That collaborative decision-making can be reviewed as goals change or new issues emerge.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever the client is. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer writing over talking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around daily life.
