About Lucy
Lucy Rooney is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people through relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, loss and grief, career challenges, and depression. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can begin to talk about what matters to them. Lucy explains the first step takes courage and treats that decision with care.
With three years of professional experience, Lucy adapts sessions to each person's needs.
How Lucy works
She draws on approaches that are supported by research to help with coping, emotional regulation, and rebuilding trust after trauma. Conversations focus on practical steps and understanding patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Lucy also helps people dealing with intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
She supports those working through addiction and separation, and those facing serious health issues such as cancer. Her work extends to attachment and body image difficulties, and to problems with communication and control. Sessions can address the emotional effects of ageing, dependent personality traits, dissociation, and the burdens of guilt or shame.
She offers space to work through forgiveness, family tensions, and the challenges of commitment. Practical coping strategies are combined with opportunities to reflect on personal values. People meet with Lucy through a mixture of video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She helps clients choose what fits their life and keeps the focus on achievable goals. The aim is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Lucy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One approach helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviour and try small, manageable changes that can improve mood and daily functioning. Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact on current life by building skills to manage intense feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods over time so the work stays relevant and achievable.
Online therapy here is offered by 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 for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, travel and other commitments, while maintaining continuity of care.
