About Lucy
Dr Lucy Flitton is a counsellor and psychologist registered with BACP and NCPS and has 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common early-adult pressures such as anxiety, stress, relationship patterns, low mood and major life transitions. Her practice also covers addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, and concerns linked to identity and intimacy.
Lucy uses several well-known psychological approaches and keeps the work straightforward. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and attachment-based thinking to look at how past relationships shape current ones. Sessions focus on clear tools, practical steps and talking through what feels most urgent.
Her background includes work with trauma-related problems and long-term difficulties where emotions show up in the body. She combines developmental and health psychology perspectives to understand how life events and physical symptoms interact. This helps when sleep, chronic pain or long-standing stress are part of the picture.
Lucy also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred practice to help people manage intense feelings and set clearer boundaries. She pays attention to language and how people describe their experiences when looking for change.
She accepts international clients and runs sessions from the United Kingdom. Fees vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the platform.
Approaches you might use together online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It helps when worry or avoidance get in the way of building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current patterns and can be useful for repeating relationship difficulties and intimacy problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best, based on goals, history and what feels most useful in practice. That may mean trying an exercise from CBT one week and focusing on attachment patterns the next.
