Dr. Lucy Flitton, BACP, NCPS

Dr Lucy Flitton welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, repeating relationship patterns, or life changes that don’t seem to settle. She uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people get more calm and clarity. The first sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and which small changes could make life easier. Lucy has 17 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works within a client-centred framework and adapts approaches to each person’s story rather than using the same method for everyone. Sessions aim to help people manage difficult emotions, set healthier boundaries, and build practical skills for everyday life. She draws on a range of ideas including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-based thinking and existential perspectives. This allows her to combine talking, behavioural experiments and attention to patterns in relationships and thought. Some of her work also looks at how emotions appear in the body and how language shapes how people make sense of their lives. Lucy has helped people with stress, anxiety, trauma, addictions, sleep and eating problems, relationship issues, parenting strains, grief, and managing long-term health conditions. She also supports people with neurodiversity-related concerns and intimacy or kink-related questions. Her approach is collaborative and practical. She helps people identify small, manageable steps and learn tools to cope when things feel hard. To begin, clients follow the platform’s matching process and then book sessions according to the listed scheduling options.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical experiments to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep and anger. Attachment-based ideas look at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, which can be useful when relationship patterns or intimacy issues are a concern.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals, try different methods and adapt what works best for the person sitting across from them. People are invited to feed back about what feels helpful so the plan can change as progress is made.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also allow sessions to continue when life changes make in-person meetings harder. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists will discuss practical arrangements and how to shape sessions so they fit with everyday life.
