About Lucy

Lucy Nicholas is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and a range of other life challenges. Sessions are carried out in English and she accepts international clients.

Lucy trained in counselling and also holds a degree in psychology. She has worked in counselling charities, schools and private practice. That background means she has experience supporting people with issues such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career concerns, anger, depression, compassion fatigue and ADHD related challenges.

Her approach is integrative and draws on client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies. In practice this means she listens for what matters most to the person and uses practical tools and short-term methods when helpful.

Lucy has worked remotely for six years and has a post-qualification certificate in online counselling. Her remote practice includes both video and telephone work, which she has used across different settings and client needs.

She describes the person in therapy as the expert on their own life and positions her role as a collaborator who offers techniques and interventions. Her practice is inclusive and she says everyone is welcome.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. Online this means sessions concentrate on reflecting what matters most to the client and building a respectful working relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and behavioural steps to address patterns of thinking and doing. Delivered remotely, CBT can include structured tasks and homework that fit around everyday routines. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises short-term goals and small changes. It is useful for clients who want targeted sessions that focus on what will make a difference next.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as the work progresses and the focus shifts.

Her biography notes experience with video and telephone counselling; please confirm the exact session formats available when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare or travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these formats to fit therapy into everyday life while working with the approaches described above.
