About Lucy
Lucy Middleton is a UK-based counsellor with six years of professional experience. She holds NCPS and works in both the NHS Talking Therapies service and independent practice. Lucy focuses on listening and helping people find workable ways to move forward.
Her approach mixes practical techniques and open conversation. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for example, to spot unhelpful thoughts and practise new skills. At other times she gives space so people can reflect and make sense of difficult experiences.
Background and approach
Earlier in her career she worked at a women's charity in an area with limited local resources. Many clients there were managing ongoing trauma, difficult childhoods and barriers linked to social and financial hardship. That work shaped her commitment to steady, practical support for people in tough situations.
She now sees people through the NHS service and in independent practice. She has supported people with grief, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, parenting concerns, relationship difficulties and substance use affecting themselves or a loved one. Lucy adopts a person-centred stance and invites clients to set the agenda.
She listens without judgement and helps people identify strengths they can use. Her style balances clear, hands-on tools with gentle exploration so people feel supported while they change.

Online support
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to use short-term problem-solving work, CBT skill-building, or a more exploratory person-centred approach and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a more traditional conversation, while phone calls work well if bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and let therapists support people in different locations.
