About Lucy
Lucy Hughes offers a calm, down-to-earth counselling style that centres on a supportive relationship. She creates a space where people can talk freely, feel heard, and begin to reconnect with themselves. Lucy uses a person-centred way of working, which means she listens without judgement and follows the client's lead.
She blends this with other approaches so sessions can be shaped around what each person needs. Her practice focuses on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression.
How Lucy works
She also helps with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Lucy pays attention to attachment concerns and the impact of separation or divorce. She supports people who are questioning life purpose or trying to build greater self-love and acceptance.
With three years' experience and the NCPS credential, Lucy brings both personal empathy and professional care to her work. She aims for a gentle, honest style and will match the pace to each person's comfort and readiness. Sessions are offered in English and are provided online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Lucy primarily works in a person-centred way, offering an accepting, non-judgemental relationship where clients are listened to and guided at their own pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make sense of their thoughts.She also uses an integrative approach, combining techniques from different evidence-based methods to suit each person's situation. That might mean drawing on practical tools for managing anxiety, alongside reflective work about relationships and attachment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps people feel involved in decisions about their care.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want quicker, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and support access for people in different locations.
