Dr. Lucy Flitton, BACP, NCPS

Dr Lucy Flitton welcomes people who feel stuck, anxious, low or unsure about recurring relationship patterns. She presents herself as someone who will listen without judgement and help untangle feelings, unhelpful thoughts and fearful physical reactions. Her style aims to make things clearer and more manageable, so people can feel steadier day to day.

Lucy has worked in psychological practice for 17 years and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She uses a client-centred approach and draws on a range of therapies to match what each person needs. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual rather than a single fixed method.

Her background includes work with trauma-related problems, stress, anxiety, addictions and sleep difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strains, career worries, body image concerns and intimacy-related issues. Additional focus areas include neurodiversity, attachment issues, and relationship communication problems.

In session she may look at how emotions show up physically, how language shapes a person’s sense of self, and how different parts of a person interact. She uses ideas from existential thinking and positive psychology to help people find renewed purpose and practical ways to cope with life changes.

Clients can expect to learn straightforward tools for managing intense feelings, improve boundaries and build resilience. Lucy describes the aim as helping people feel lighter, more grounded and more able to act in ways that match their values.

Approaches that translate into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while accepting uncomfortable feelings. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in relationships and helps people understand and change those patterns to feel safer and more connected. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection to help the person find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which approaches to prioritise. Decisions about methods are made together and can be adjusted as the work progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the option to use shorter check-ins when time is tight. Some sessions may be organised in ways that reduce the need to travel and make regular attendance simpler. The biography does not specify which online or remote formats are used, so please confirm the current session options before booking.
