Lucy is absolutely amazing - she strikes the perfect balancing between listening and suggesting coping skills / advice. I’ve come away from our sessions feeling like I’m finally getting somewhere with my mental health.
More about Lucy
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I qualified as a counsellor in 2007 and I'm currently a registered member of the BACP.
Since qualifying, I've worked consistently across various areas of counselling so I have a lot of experience of working with all different kinds of issues like relationship breakdown, family problems, bereavement, abuse, domestic violence, stress, anxiety, depression, eating related issues, work related issues, change management, loss, trauma, sexuality and addictions to name a few.
I'm an integrative counsellor which, in normal speak, just means that I combine different types of therapy to suit the varying needs of the different people that I work with, all of which I am trained in.
Overall I'm very client centred (I work with the issues you want to focus on) whilst remaining solution focussed and I'm generally just a very warm, non-judgemental and confident person.
My priority across the board, is to provide my clients with a confidential and effective environment in which they feel safe, comfortable and able to work through whatever it is that's causing problems in their life.
I provide long-term, short-term, and time limited therapy, this can be either via telephone or video calls.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lucy is amazing. She totally "got" me within the first session and now working with her is much easier than I have experienced before in therapy
Very understanding and knowledgable. Never grumbles about my massive long messages :-) and always provides reassurance. Gives me a good insight into other ways of thinking.
Lucy is patient and understanding and has hugely helped me through some difficult times.
Lucy has been a wonderful support and a great source of knowledge and wisdom. I feel calmer and like I am in safe hands.
