About me
I’m Lucy, an NCPS-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist offering online counselling for adults and older teens across the UK. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard and make sense of what you’re going through.
I specialise in supporting people affected by coercive control, domestic abuse and emotional abuse. Whether you’re questioning a current relationship, finding it difficult to leave, or rebuilding your life afterwards, you can explore your feelings without judgement or pressure.
I also support people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life changes and the lasting effects of past abuse. You don’t have to be in crisis to seek support. Feeling stuck, disconnected or aware that something isn’t right is enough.
My approach is pluralistic, which means we shape therapy together around your needs. I draw on person-centred, CBT and psychodynamic approaches. This might mean space to process your feelings, practical ways to manage anxiety, or exploring how past experiences influence your life and relationships now. We’ll discuss what you hope to gain and check in about what is helping.
You will have a say in what we focus on and how we work. Together, we can work towards changes that matter to you, whether that means feeling less overwhelmed, setting boundaries, understanding yourself or rebuilding confidence in your own judgement.
Choosing a counsellor can feel daunting, so I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation. It’s a chance to ask questions, tell me a little about what brings you here and see whether you feel comfortable talking with me, with no pressure to commit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Practice, and a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling Skills and Theory.
I am NCPS-accredited and registered with The King’s Trust, with experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, low self-worth, difficult life changes, and the effects of past or ongoing relational harm.
My work is grounded in professional training and informed by lived experience of domestic abuse and coercive and controlling behaviour. This has shaped a sensitive, curious approach that recognises how emotional distress can be connected to what someone has had to survive, adapt to, or carry.
You won’t be expected to justify why you stayed, why you returned, or why it still hurts. There is space for conflicting feelings, uncertainty, and things you find difficult to say aloud, at a pace that feels manageable for you.

What Sessions May Involve
Each session offers time to slow things down and look at what is happening beneath the surface. We may notice patterns, explore emotions, untangle mixed thoughts, or make links between past experiences and present responses.
Some sessions may feel reflective, while others may feel more practical. We might use grounding techniques, CBT-informed exercises, journalling prompts, or psycho-education where these feel useful.
How We Work Together
Therapy is not about being told what to do. It is a collaborative process where we regularly check in with what feels helpful, what needs adjusting, and what you would like to focus on next.
My aim is to offer a steady therapeutic relationship where you can speak openly, feel respected, and begin to understand yourself with more compassion.
