About Lucy
Lucy Gardner is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She works with people to build motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can talk about what matters to them.
She uses a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on what each person needs right now and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Lucy listens closely and adjusts the conversation and plan as progress and priorities change. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about relationships and connection.
Client-centred principles shape sessions so people set the pace and direction. Lucy holds NCPS as a listed credential and has four years of professional experience. That background includes helping people through loss, life changes and challenges such as addictions, parenting stress and workplace strain.
She also supports those facing obsessive thinking, panic and phobias. Sessions can include short-term goals or longer conversations depending on need. Lucy encourages small, manageable steps and regular review of progress.
She welcomes international clients and works in English.

Online support
Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit. Plans are reviewed as therapy progresses so the method can change if it would help more.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can work well for quick updates, reflections between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
