About Lucy

Lucy Nicholas is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, trauma and related issues. She aims to listen without judgement and to create a calm, steady space where people can start to feel understood.

Lucy describes the quality of the relationship as the most important part of therapy. She works in a warm and sensitive way to build trust quickly.

Background and approach

Her style is adaptable and she encourages clients to lead the pace of work. Her background includes a first-class honours degree in counselling and a degree in psychology. That foundation is supported by many years of work in counselling charities, schools and independent practice.

Those roles have given experience with a wide variety of concerns such as parenting stress, relationship strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, career worries and compassion fatigue. Lucy practises an integrative approach, drawing on different methods to suit each person. She has been offering video and telephone counselling for six years and holds a post-qualification certificate in online counselling.

She also works with issues around guilt and shame, self-love and women’s concerns. Her practice is inclusive and she welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

The therapeutic work aims to be collaborative and practical, helping people build coping skills and make manageable changes.

How Lucy’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship and on listening. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people feel heard and can explore their thoughts and feelings. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to process difficult experiences.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses simple, practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behaviour. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress relief.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often identify what is already working and build short-term plans to create change, which can suit people who want focused, action-oriented work.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best with the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things, reviewing progress and adjusting methods together.

Online sessions make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging give a way to reflect between sessions and fit support around busy days. Many people find these options help therapy fit into work, family life and travel.
