Lucy Palmer
A warm, person-centred counsellor
About Lucy
Lucy Palmer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience and a BACP registration. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, identity questions, or struggles with self-esteem and addiction. Lucy works in a person-centred way and aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space for conversation.
Her background includes a Higher National Diploma in Counselling and roles as a listening service volunteer and online peer supporter.
Background and approach
These experiences shaped her practical approach to listening and responding to people in distress. She draws on a range of ideas from different counselling styles but keeps sessions focused on what the person in front of her needs. Lucy often helps people who are dealing with career pressures, relationship strain, parenting stresses, or difficult life changes.
She also offers support around eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and bereavement. Conversations aim to help people notice their own strengths and find ways to cope day to day. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person.
Lucy centres the therapeutic relationship and uses simple, clear language rather than clinical terms. She seeks to help people make changes that last beyond the sessions. Therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred care and online counselling options
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so clients can talk through difficult feelings like anxiety, depression, grief or identity questions and build confidence to make changes.Lucy also draws on elements from other counselling ideas to tailor sessions to each person. That means approaches can be adjusted to suit issues such as relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction or challenges linked to chronic illness. Deciding which style to use is a collaborative process and will be based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have lower bandwidth, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging is helpful for ongoing, flexible contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect from different locations, while the counsellor and client agree together on what works best.
