About Lucy
Lucy Palmer is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, self-esteem problems, career questions, depression and addictions. Her practice also covers relationship and family matters, grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.
Lucy uses a person-centred approach and describes her work as LGBTQ+ inclusive. She focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship with each client. Sessions aim to help people notice their own strengths and make clearer choices about next steps.
Her background includes a Higher National Diploma in Counselling and roles as a counsellor, listening service volunteer and online peer supporter. These experiences shaped her practical way of working with people who are struggling to manage day-to-day pressures or big life changes.
In sessions she draws on client-centred methods and ideas from humanistic, cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic approaches. Lucy says the therapeutic relationship is central and she adapts the style to fit the person in front of her. She keeps things straightforward and focuses on what will help a person feel more able to cope.
People contact Lucy about a wide range of concerns including ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress, communication and commitment difficulties, and substance or food-related problems. She asks new clients to use the site matching steps to book an initial session and to confirm session options before scheduling.
How her client-centred approach works online
Lucy uses Client-Centred Therapy as the main framework, which means sessions focus on listening carefully and responding to what matters most to the person. This approach helps people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship problems and issues around identity to feel heard and to explore their own responses.She also draws on cognitive-behavioural ideas to help with practical patterns like worry, unhelpful thinking and sleep problems. A few psychodynamic ideas may be used to notice longstanding relationship patterns that affect current life. Each approach is explained in plain language and used to suit the person's goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify what feels useful and adjust the style over time. That discussion helps set clear goals and decide which techniques to try first.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact formats offered before booking. The original biography mentions live sessions by video call, telephone and messaging, so check which of those are currently available. Online appointments can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose whether to use video, phone or message for particular sessions.
