About Lucy

Lucy Nicholas is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience. She aims to help people feel heard and understood so they can begin to make changes that matter. Her manner is calm and warm, and she focuses on building a trusting relationship as a first step in therapy.

She works in an integrative way, drawing on different approaches to match each person's needs. That means sessions can include talking through feelings, practical coping ideas, and small experiments to try between meetings.

Background and approach

She helps with stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes as well as grief and trauma-related concerns. Lucy has a first-class honours degree in counselling and a degree in psychology. Her background includes work with counselling charities, schools and independent practice, giving her experience with a wide range of issues and situations.

She has worked online by video and phone for six years and holds a post-qualification certificate in online counselling. Sessions commonly cover relationship worries, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, guilt and shame, and challenges like eating or sleeping difficulties. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, career stress and ADHD-related struggles.

Work with LGBT clients and women's issues is part of her practice. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person. Lucy uses practical steps and reflective conversation so people can notice what helps and build on it.

She welcomes people from across the United Kingdom and internationally.

How Lucy uses online approaches and therapy methods

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgement. It helps people who need space to make sense of feelings and to feel supported while they work through change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for tackling anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by testing small changes and trying practical strategies between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is working and on building steps toward clear goals. It suits people who want brief, goal-orientated sessions that focus on solutions and what can be done next.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Lucy will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped you before, then suggest ways of working together. That collaborative planning means methods can be adjusted as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections and support that fits around work or caring commitments. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible across locations.
