About Lucy
Lucy Nicholas is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. Lucy aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and begin to make sense of difficult feelings.
She works in an integrative way, drawing on several approaches so sessions fit the person in front of her. That means practical techniques can sit alongside a listening, person-centred style.
Background and approach
The goal is to find what helps you feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope day to day. Lucy trained in counselling and psychology and has worked in charities, schools and independent practice. She has six years' experience delivering therapy by video and phone and holds a post-qualification certificate in online counselling.
Her background means she is used to supporting a wide range of concerns and life situations. In sessions she may use solution-focused tools to identify immediate steps, and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking. She also emphasises self-compassion and addresses feelings such as guilt, shame and low self-worth.
Lucy’s style is warm and calm, aiming to build a steady working relationship. People who choose Lucy often want someone practical who also listens deeply. She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different needs.

Approaches Lucy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and stress by teaching small, manageable skills.
Solution-focused methods are used to identify immediate steps and build on what is already working in someone’s life. These techniques suit people who want brief, goal-oriented sessions that focus on progress and small changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing or want to fit support around busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work, family and travel.
