About Lucy
Lucy Nicholas is a counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. She writes in a warm, calm way and focuses on building a trusting relationship so people feel heard without judgement. Lucy is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience and she welcomes people from diverse backgrounds.
She trained in psychology and gained a first-class honours degree in counselling. Lucy practised in counselling charities, schools and private practice, so she has supported people with a wide range of concerns. She has been offering video and telephone work for six years and holds a post-qualification certificate in online counselling.
Lucy describes her style as integrative, which means she adapts sessions to what each person needs. She often draws on client-centred ways of working, alongside cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ideas. In practical terms this can mean listening closely, helping clients spot unhelpful thoughts, and setting small achievable goals.
Common issues she supports include anxiety, depression, stress and grief, plus relationship and intimacy concerns. She also works with challenges such as eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD related worries. Additional focuses include guilt and shame, self-love and women’s issues.
Sessions aim to centre the client’s own priorities. Lucy views the person in the room as the expert on their life and offers techniques and reflection to help people move forward. Anyone considering counselling is invited to start with the short matching questionnaire to see if she might be a good fit.
Approaches and online counselling options
Lucy often uses client-centred ways of working, which focus on listening carefully and following the person’s pace to build trust and self-awareness. This approach helps when someone needs a space to talk through feelings and make sense of difficult experiences.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression and managing stress. Solution-focused therapy is another tool she uses to set clear, achievable goals and notice small changes that make a difference.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy and Lucy treats it as a joint process. She works with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences and current situation. Together they review what is working and adapt the plan as needed.
