About Lucy

Lucy Castro is a counsellor with 11 years of experience offering a warm, grounded space for adults. She creates a calm atmosphere where people can talk, feel, and be themselves without pressure. Sessions are collaborative and led by the client’s needs.

Lucy uses person-centred listening alongside focused short-term work to help people move forward. She often blends gentle, person-led discussion with practical, solution-focused steps. That means exploring what matters to the client and trying small changes that add up.

Background and approach

Sessions include regular check-ins so the work stays relevant and can be adjusted when needed. Lucy has supported people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional burnout, grief and questions about life direction. She has also worked with national and local charities, bringing varied experience from different settings.

Her background shapes a down-to-earth style that aims to make difficult topics feel more manageable. People can expect honest listening and a steady presence in sessions. The approach is flexible - from short-term, goal-focused work to slower, reflective conversations.

Therapy is framed as a shared process where the client’s voice leads and the counsellor listens actively. Lucy is based in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers both in-person and online options and works in English.

Practical matters like session format and pacing are agreed together at the start.

How therapeutic approaches fit online

Lucy blends person-centred counselling with short-term, solution-focused work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening closely to the client and letting their priorities lead the sessions; it helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood. Solution-focused work looks at small, practical steps and what can change in the near term; it suits people who want to set clear goals and try manageable experiments.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that suit them. This is collaborative rather than fixed - techniques can be adjusted as sessions progress so the work stays useful.

Online therapy can make this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, care duties and daily life, and make it possible to keep momentum even when travel or schedules are difficult.
