More about Lucy

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a registered counsellor based in the UK with over 15 years of clinical experience. Some of the main issues I work with are stress and anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, work/life balance, fertility issues. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I will do my best to help support you in this process.

I am trained in Person-Centred and Existential therapy and have worked extensively with short to medium term clients, integrating other modalities; such as CBT techniques / Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Psychological First Aid for as and when a client may need it or is more suited to a slightly different way of working. I am open to and welcome having a discussion about what works and what doesn't when we are in therapy.

I work in a structured way, offering weekly sessions at a pre-agreed day/time, these sessions can sometimes be held on a fortnightly basis or longer between sessions for reflection, progression or when working towards an ending. We will discuss the number of sessions you feel comfortable working towards, which we will review, and can increase if required.

If the day/time that you would prefer are not showing on my schedule please get in touch and we can work something out that is convenient for us both.

If you choose to work with me I will help support you in reaching your goal for therapy.

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.
