About Lucy
Lucy Castro is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She blends person-centred listening with collaborative, practical work to help people make sense of where they are and move forward.
Lucy commonly uses short-term, solution-focused techniques alongside longer conversations when they are needed. Sessions begin with clarifying what matters to the client and identifying small, realistic steps. She checks progress regularly and adjusts the approach if something is not helping.
People come to her for help with anxiety and low self-esteem, but also for issues linked to abandonment, guilt and shame, infidelity, or changes such as ageing and caregiving stress. She has experience supporting those living with chronic pain, illness or disability and those coping with loneliness or isolation.
Prior work includes roles with national and local charities, where she supported many different people and situations. That background informs a practical style that focuses on what can be done now, and what might help next.
Sessions are described by Lucy as collaborative. She listens first, then works with each person to agree goals and steps. People who prefer clear, paced discussions and regular review of progress tend to find her approach straightforward and useful.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Lucy uses person-centred listening and short-term, solution-focused work in online sessions. Person-centred listening involves careful attention to what the client says and responding in a way that helps them clarify their thoughts and feelings. It suits clients who want space to talk things through and to find their own direction.Solution-focused techniques focus on small, practical steps and measurable changes. This approach helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to identify realistic goals and try things that can make daily life easier. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety and problems with self-esteem.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lucy will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods to try, reviewing progress and changing course if needed. The emphasis is on collaboration and practical adjustments that match the client's goals and preferences.
The biography states that Lucy offers online sessions. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to travel or who need a time that fits around work or caregiving.
