Lucy is very easy to speak to and feel comfortable opening up

Sep 2024

Lucy is an excellent therapist. She is so kind and caring, listens attentively and always asks if she doesn’t quite get what you are trying to say. She always seems to be able to get to the crux of the matter, and has helped me immensely with the struggles I have faced. I would recommend everyone to see her!

More about Lucy

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

My name is Lucy and I am professional counsellor in the UK and a registered member of the BACP. I have had work experience as a counsellor, listening service volunteer and email peer supporter and I hold a Higher National Diploma in Counselling.

To any potential new clients - I offer you a very warm welcome. Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming on your own. I offer a safe and welcoming space where we can navigate these challenges together.

Being an integrative counsellor allows me to work with you in a way that is best suited to you as an individual. I draw from my knowledge of Humanistic, CBT, Psychodynamic and Pluralistic counselling styles, with the therapeutic relationship at the heart of every session. My experience includes working with difficulties relating to the LGBTQ+ experience, grief and bereavement, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and stress.

I believe that every individual has their own unique form of resilience. I can offer a space to connect with this resilient part of you, and to gain insight into yourself in ways that stay with you beyond our counselling sessions.

I understand that taking the first steps towards counselling can be a daunting new experience. As your counsellor, I will offer a listening ear and refrain from judgment.

I am available for live sessions in the form of video call, telephone, and messaging. I offer live sessions every Tuesday, so if this suits you feel free to get in touch. I very much look forward to working with you soon.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
