About Lucy
Lucy Nicholas is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience. She offers a calm and warm presence to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or low. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can be heard and make sense of what they are facing.
Lucy draws on a mix of counselling and psychological knowledge to shape each session. She uses practical techniques and short-term strategies when helpful, and takes time to listen when people need to talk things through.
Background and approach
Her approach is adaptable to the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Her background includes a first-class honours degree in counselling and a degree in psychology. She has worked across counselling charities, schools and independent practice, so she has experience with a wide range of concerns.
She also has a post-qualification certificate in online counselling and has been delivering remote sessions for six years. People come to Lucy for issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship or parenting strain. She also supports those facing trauma, eating or sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, career pressures, compassion fatigue and questions around identity including LGBT concerns.
Sessions combine listening with practical steps clients can try between meetings. Lucy emphasises collaboration - the client’s knowledge of their life guides the work. Her practice is inclusive and she welcomes people from diverse backgrounds.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and what is already working. It is helpful when someone wants quick ways to move forward or to try new strategies between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the client's goals and preferences. This collaboration helps shape sessions that fit each person’s situation.
Online therapy with video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging gives flexibility in how and when sessions happen. Video calls let people use visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and short text or chat sessions suit quick check-ins or days when writing feels better. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around busy lives and different routines.
