About Lucy
BACP, NCPS. Dr Lucy Flitton has 17 years of clinical experience and works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression and relationship and family concerns. She also supports people with sleep and eating difficulties, anger and self-esteem issues, ADHD, bipolar, grief and career questions. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Lucy describes her practice as client-centred. She uses a mix of approaches to suit the issues that people bring. She commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour work. She also uses existential perspectives and client-centred listening in sessions.
Her background includes psychology and wider study in developmental and health psychology. She refers to work with complex trauma, somatic ideas and polyvagal concepts, and to methods that look at internal parts and how language shapes experience. This means sessions may address physical reactions, core relational patterns and the words people use to make sense of difficulties.
In practical terms Lucy says she helps people learn tools for emotion regulation, boundary setting and managing troubling thoughts. She aims to support clearer decision making during life changes, separation or career shifts, and to help people reduce unhelpful patterns in relationships.
Her stated approach combines psychological theory with practical skills. Clients are invited to notice patterns, try new responses in day-to-day life and review what does and does not help. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and book a first session via the site.
How her key approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live by their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It uses practical exercises to reduce avoidance and increase action towards meaningful goals, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how these affect current connections. It helps people understand repeated relational behaviours and try different ways of relating that can reduce conflict and loneliness.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches skills such as thought records and behavioural experiments to improve mood and coping.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the options with each person, consider goals and daily demands, and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps find which combination of methods feels most useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please check which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so practical skills are still practised between meetings.
