About Lucy
Dr Lucy Flitton welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about their next step. She aims to help those managing anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship patterns, addictions and major life changes find more calm and clarity. Her style is direct and practical, focusing on what helps day to day rather than jargon. She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.
Lucy brings 17 years of clinical experience to her work and holds the credentials BACP and NCPS. She uses a client-centred approach, adapting methods to each person’s story rather than following a single formula. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviours and the ways emotions show up in the body. She pays attention to how language and personal narrative shape experience.
Her background includes work with trauma-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, compassion fatigue, ADHD and a wide range of relationship and identity concerns. She also draws on developmental and health psychology ideas when useful. This allows exploration of struggles at an individual level and within wider social contexts.
In practice Lucy may help people learn coping strategies, set firmer boundaries and manage overwhelming emotions. She offers tools to build resilience, reduce self-criticism and reconnect with hope and agency. Her aim is practical change: feeling lighter, more grounded and better able to manage difficult days.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without being ruled by them and clarifies personal values to guide action. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for instance by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a break from work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful or offer options that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs. Confirm the available formats and scheduling details during the sign-up and matching steps so sessions fit your routine.
