About Lucy
Lucy Ball works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She is a BACP counsellor with three years of practice in the United Kingdom. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, with simple goals and clear next steps.
She supports people coping with trauma, abuse, low self-esteem and motivation. She also helps those facing depression, grief, addiction and issues around intimacy. Lucy focuses on practical coping skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person. Lucy listens first, then agrees goals and a plan together. Conversations can include exploring patterns, building new habits and practising ways to reduce stress and improve sleep.
Her work also covers career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD and parenting stress. Additional areas she helps with include body image, communication problems and coping with chronic illness. She offers straightforward tools for everyday life.
Lucy aims to make starting therapy as simple as possible. She explains what to expect and helps people decide which format suits them best. Her style is calm and practical, focused on small, achievable changes.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Many of the evidence-based techniques Lucy uses involve clear steps you can practise between sessions. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and gently testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with worry, self-doubt and low confidence.Another common technique concentrates on building practical routines and coping skills. Simple exercises can improve sleep, manage stress and reduce overwhelm. These tasks are easy to practice outside sessions and are useful for people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress or compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lucy will listen to your needs, goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Together you can adapt the plan if something does not fit, ensuring the work feels manageable and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you see each other and work through exercises together. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or times when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between calls and can fit into a break at work or a hectic day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offer these options to make consistent therapy easier to fit into everyday life.
