About Lucy
Dr Lucy Flitton is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with 17 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, parenting strain, low mood and relationship problems. Sessions are presented in English and she accepts international clients.
Lucy uses mostly familiar, practical ways of working. She listens to the story people bring, then uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused ideas, CBT and DBT skills to help with day-to-day struggles. She pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and to the language people use when describing relationships and difficulties.
Her practice draws on developmental and health psychology ideas as well as existential thinking. That means she will look at how past experiences shape current patterns, and also at the meaning and values that matter now. For parenting and family-related worries, she helps people identify patterns and practical steps they can try at home.
Sessions often focus on skills you can use between meetings - for mood, stress, sleep and relationship communication. Lucy also works with issues linked to trauma, grief, sexual culture and identity, eating and body image, and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD. She frames the work around what a person wants to change.
Her approach emphasises clear, straightforward conversations, practical strategies and reflection on how habits and language shape behaviour. People are invited to try methods and notice what helps, with adjustments made as the work progresses.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning small practical steps to live in line with them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice and change repeating patterns that cause distress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and routines and then teaches concrete strategies to shift them, which can ease sleep problems, mood dips and worry.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss aims and preferences and agree a way of working together. That means trying methods, reviewing what helps and adjusting the plan so it fits the person’s goals and everyday life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy around parenting and work commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use practical exercises at home between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals offer online appointments that focus on skills, reflection and behaviour change without promising a specific outcome.
