About Lucy
Dr Lucy Flitton offers a calm, approachable place to start when life feels too noisy or confusing. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, repeating relationship patterns, grief, parenting strain or big life changes find steadiness and clearer next steps. Lucy uses straightforward conversation and practical tools so people leave sessions feeling lighter and more able to cope.
Lucy has worked in psychological care for 17 years and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She blends different approaches to match each person’s needs, keeping the focus on what the individual wants to achieve. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, how relationships were shaped, or how stress shows up in the body.
Her background includes work with trauma-related difficulties, addictions, sleep problems and codependency. She draws on ideas from developmental and health psychology to consider both personal history and wider life context. Sessions also use language-based techniques where helpful to notice how people describe themselves and others.
Practical goals in therapy often include managing overwhelming emotions, improving boundaries, and rebuilding confidence. Lucy can offer ways to practise skills between sessions and to check how small changes are going in everyday life. Her style aims to be collaborative, curious and down-to-earth.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability through the platform.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce worry, manage mood and change patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adapted as progress is made.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session types here, so please confirm available formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to continue therapy across locations, and the therapist can suggest ways to practise skills between meetings so therapy links to everyday life.
