Lucy Draper, BACP

Lucy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical work. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try small, manageable changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for day-to-day worry, social anxiety and low motivation. Another approach focuses on building self-esteem and self-love through short exercises and reflective conversation to shift negative self-views and increase confidence. It suits people who want to feel steadier in themselves and in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which techniques to try first, adjusting plans if needed. That collaborative process helps ensure therapy fits your goals and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video meetings allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief, regular contact. These options make it simpler to fit appointments around work, study and daily life.
