More about Lucy

- BACP
Hello, my name is Lucy,
I am a BACP registered counsellor with 8 years of experience.
Looking through the different profiles, it can be difficult to decide which counsellor will best suit your needs. It may help you to know, that research has found that the most important factor in therapy is the quality of the relationship with your counsellor.
Finding someone who will hear you, free of judgement and that you feel safe with is key.
Clients often feedback that my warm, calm and sensitive way of being has been beneficial to them in their therapy and has helped in building a strong, professional therapeutic relationship.
Looking at the qualifications and experience of a counsellor is of course also important when making your choice.
I am an integrative counsellor which means I am able to tailor the counselling experience to each individual client drawing on many different theoretical approaches and techniques.
I hold a first-class honours degree in counselling and a degree in psychology. I have experience of working with a wide range of individuals with a wide range of issues from my work with counselling charities, schools and private practice.
I have been working via video and telephone for six years and hold a post-qualification certificate in online counselling.
All of this expertise doesn't make me the expert on you or your story though, that expert is you. My training allows me to assist you with techniques and interventions to help you on this journey.
My work is inclusive, everyone is welcome.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
