About Lucy

Lucy Middleton is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She holds NCPS and draws on a blend of approaches to meet individual needs. Lucy welcomes clients who are looking for practical help and emotional support during difficult times.

She often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and build simple coping strategies. She also works in a person-centred way, offering an open space for people to speak and reflect so they can make sense of their experiences.

Background and approach

When clients need short-term goal work, she draws on solution-focused ideas to identify small, manageable steps forward. Lucy has worked in a women's charity in an area of low socioeconomic status and currently provides care within NHS Talking Therapies as well as independent practice.

That background means she is used to helping people facing complex life challenges, including limited access to resources and ongoing trauma. Her experience includes supporting people through grief, depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, parenting strains, relationship difficulties and substance-related problems. In sessions she adopts a respectful, non-judgemental stance.

She invites each person to set the agenda and follows their pace. The work aims to build on existing strengths so people can feel more empowered and able to manage next steps. Lucy’s practice includes addressing trauma and abuse alongside stress, addictions, self-esteem and a wide range of relationship and life transition concerns.

She also offers help with specific focus areas such as attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and communication problems.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process and reduce the impact of traumatic experiences. It gives space to address distressing memories and learn ways to manage reactions over time.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's priorities, which suits people who need time to reflect and be heard.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping strategies. It often involves short exercises and clear steps that work well in remote sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lucy will discuss options and help decide what fits best based on a person’s goals, experiences and preferences. That means trying approaches, reviewing progress and adapting the plan together.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
