Lucy Rooney, NCPS

Lucy Rooney is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people move through difficult times. She works with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, career setbacks, depression and other life changes. Lucy offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs.

She has three years of professional experience and carries the NCPS credential. Lucy focuses on practical conversations that help people make sense of painful events and figure out next steps. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present behaviour and feelings.

In sessions she will listen closely, help identify patterns, and suggest small changes that can make daily life easier. Topics she commonly addresses include addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns such as attachment issues, body image, bereavement linked to cancer, and separation or divorce.

Lucy adapts her way of working to each person. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful rather than technical. If someone prefers a focused plan or a gentler conversational style, she will shape sessions around that preference.

Clients can expect practical steps alongside space to talk. Lucy encourages people to take decisions at a pace that suits them and supports finding ways to cope with change, repair relationships where possible, and recover from traumatic events.

How evidence-based methods translate to online counselling

Lucy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach involves helping people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour, then trying small practical changes to improve mood and functioning. This method can help with depression, sleep problems and low self-esteem.

Another approach focuses on processing traumatic or painful experiences through paced, supportive conversations. The aim is to reduce the hold of past events on daily life and build clearer ways to cope with reminders and triggers. This can be useful for people recovering from abuse, loss or other trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different ways of working, listen to a person's goals and preferences, and agree a plan that feels doable. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs evolve.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work and family life and avoiding travel time. Because the original biography did not list specific session formats, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to maintain continuity of care when living away from the therapist's base.
