About Lucy

Lucy Gardner is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, addiction concerns and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. She greets clients with respect, sensitivity and a straightforward approach.

Lucy uses practical conversation to help people find clearer ways forward. Lucy holds NCPS and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She adapts sessions to each person, shaping the pace and focus to match what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She listens for patterns that keep problems cycling and works with clients to try different responses. Her practice draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness to build awareness and steady difficult feelings. Attachment-based thinking helps when relationship patterns affect wellbeing.

Client-centred principles mean sessions follow the client’s concerns rather than a fixed script. Sessions often include simple exercises, reflective discussion and practical tasks to try between meetings. Lucy aims to make therapy understandable and actionable so progress feels tangible.

She supports people through life changes, grief, work stress and complications linked to ADHD or neurodiversity. People from outside the UK may work with Lucy as she accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How these approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and choose values-based actions instead. It is often used for anxiety, depression and difficulties that feel stuck. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and bring steadier mood and concentration. These techniques are useful for stress, worry and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationship patterns shape current interactions and emotions, which can be helpful for relationship and intimacy-related struggles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and planned around what the client wants to achieve rather than a fixed template.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping progress on track.
