Lucy Rooney, NCPS

Lucy Rooney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She offers calm, direct support for people facing relationship strain, trauma, loss and depression. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and will work with each person to shape sessions around their needs.

In sessions she listens for the practical pressures behind feelings. She helps people talk through relationship problems, cope with grief or trauma, and manage low mood. She also supports people dealing with career stress, addiction concerns, sleep difficulties and self-esteem problems.

Lucy adapts how she works to suit each person. She aims to make sessions straightforward and focused, helping people set small goals and notice change between meetings. Her approach is plain spoken and collaborative rather than clinical jargon.

She also has experience supporting people with issues connected to ageing, attachment concerns, body image and cancer-related distress. Other areas she addresses include communication problems, control and commitment worries, dissociation, and the emotional aftermath of separation.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Lucy uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Lucy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people tackle relationships, trauma and depression. One common approach she uses focuses on building coping skills and practical routines to manage low mood and sleep problems; this involves simple activities and gradual changes that reduce overwhelm. Another approach centres on talking through traumatic or painful experiences at a pace the person chooses, helping them make sense of what happened and reduce its daily impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree a plan that fits their goals and pace. That collaboration means approaches can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives, whether for shorter check-ins during a work break or longer conversations outside commuting time.
