About Lucy
Lucy Middleton is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety and related concerns such as trauma and depression among the issues she works with. Lucy describes her work as integrative, choosing approaches that suit each person's needs.
Lucy uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to learn practical self-help strategies. She also offers a person-centred way of working, where the client sets the agenda and the counsellor listens without judgement. This mix lets her move between structured techniques and more open reflective sessions.
Her background includes work in a women's charity in an area of low socioeconomic status, where many clients faced limited access to services and ongoing trauma. That role involved supporting people through childhood trauma, sexual abuse, grief, depression and relationship and parenting difficulties.
Lucy also has experience working within NHS Talking Therapies alongside private practice. Her caseload has included issues such as substance use by the person or a loved one, self-esteem, intimacy-related problems and coping with life changes.
In sessions she emphasises practical steps alongside listening. She aims to help people identify what they already do well and build on those strengths. Readers are encouraged to check the described session options and booking steps before arranging a first meeting.
How Lucy’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person to set the pace and topics of sessions, which can work well in a remote setting where conversation is the primary tool. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and this can be shared through exercises and worksheets during online meetings.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt the mix of person-centred work and CBT techniques to suit what the client needs. They will check in about what is helping and change course if something is not working.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. When arranging sessions, consider practical benefits such as fitting meetings around work or family time, using shorter check-ins when days are busy, or choosing an audio-only conversation if less bandwidth or not being on camera helps. Registered or accredited professionals offer online therapy that can make it easier to keep appointments while managing daily commitments.
