About Lucy
Dr Lucy Flitton is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 17 years' clinical experience. She sees adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, parenting strains, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and issues linked to sleep, eating and self-esteem. She also lists blended family issues among her areas of focus.
Lucy uses straightforward, conversational work to help people notice what keeps repeating in their relationships. She pays attention to how emotions appear in the body and to the ways language shapes thinking. Sessions often involve talking things through, exploring practical skills for managing strong emotions, and making sense of patterns that keep coming up.
Her approach draws from several methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. She describes working within a client-centred framework and will adapt techniques to the problem someone brings. Expect collaborative discussions and simple exercises to try between sessions.
Lucy also brings perspectives from developmental and health psychology to understand life events across time. She uses somatic ideas and polyvagal-informed ways of noticing physical reactions when relevant. That can be useful for people dealing with trauma-related symptoms or chronic stress.
Many of the issues she lists involve relationship conflict, parenting pressure or making new household routines. She can help a person untangle loyalty tensions, role confusion and communication problems that arise in stepfamily and blended household situations. To begin, the site matching process is used to arrange a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, practical steps towards them while learning to notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape expectations and responses; it helps with intimacy-related problems, trust and communication patterns.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try different methods where needed. This is collaborative - you and the therapist decide together which strategies feel useful and realistic for your situation.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and household routines. They also let people use shorter check-ins when time is limited, avoid travel, or choose not to be on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so practical skills are still practised between appointments.
