About Lucy
Lucy Nicholas is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience. She supports people managing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem problems and life changes, and she also works with concerns such as relationship strain, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD.
She works in a practical way and draws on different methods to suit what a person needs. Lucy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and solution-focused ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She aims to build a clear, professional working relationship to make conversations productive.
Lucy trained in counselling and psychology, finishing a first-class honours degree in counselling and a separate degree in psychology. Her background includes work with counselling charities, schools and private practice, which has exposed her to a wide range of concerns across settings.
She has been offering sessions by video and telephone for six years and holds a post-qualification certificate in online counselling. That experience informs how she runs remote sessions and what to expect when booking.
Lucy says the person in therapy is the expert on their own life. Her role is to offer techniques and structured tools that clients can test out between sessions. She welcomes people of all backgrounds and identities.
How Lucy uses structured approaches in online sessions
Lucy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behaviour. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, practical exercises and checking what works between sessions, which suits worries like anxiety, sleep or low mood.She also uses client-centred principles that place the person's experience at the heart of the work. This means the counsellor listens closely and helps shape the conversation around what matters most to the client. Solution-focused ideas are used when a short series of focused steps is useful to move past a specific problem or decision.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Lucy will work collaboratively to decide which approach or combination fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and new priorities emerge.
Her biography records six years of working by video and telephone and a post-qualification certificate in online counselling. If you want to book, confirm the current session options before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time, which helps people keep therapy consistent.
