She also supports people facing relationship and family problems, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career worries and depression. Lucy uses practical tools to help people cope with life changes and everyday pressures.
Lucy qualified as a counsellor in 2007 and is a BACP member. She has 17 years of hands-on experience working across many areas of counselling.
Background and approach
That breadth means she is used to seeing complex, overlapping problems rather than just single issues. Her style is straightforward and client focused. She works with the concerns the person brings and aims to find practical ways forward.
Sessions can be short-term, long-term, or a set number of meetings depending on what the person wants. Lucy practises an integrative approach which blends different methods to suit each person. She is predominantly client-centred while also using solution-focused work and techniques that address thinking and motivation.
This mix helps with both immediate problems and longer-term change. Sessions are offered by video or phone, and Lucy accepts international clients. People say the pace is calm and unhurried, with space to talk things through and try out new ways of coping.
She supports people dealing with caregiver stress, workplace issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, smoking or vaping cessation, and a wide range of other concerns. Lucy aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.

How Lucy's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change or understand better. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on problem-solving, changing thought patterns, or boosting motivation, and can mix methods as needed.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be quicker or easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit counselling around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
