About Lucy
BACP. 3 years' experience. Lucy Palmer is a counsellor based in Scotland who works with stress, anxiety, depression and a range of other concerns including LGBT issues, self-esteem, career questions and addictions. She uses a person-centred approach and describes her work as LGBTQ+ inclusive.
Lucy offers listening and support for relationship and family concerns, grief and bereavement, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and coping with life changes. She also works with compassion fatigue, ADHD and related difficulties such as attachment and abandonment issues. Practical problems like communication, control issues and separation are also within her practice.
Her background includes a Higher National Diploma in Counselling and three years of counselling experience. She has worked as a counsellor, a listening service volunteer and an online peer supporter. The BACP credential is given exactly as supplied.
In sessions she emphasises the therapeutic relationship and a person-centred way of working. She says she draws on humanistic, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas as needed, and adapts the approach around the person in front of her.
Lucy offers live sessions on Tuesday by video call, telephone and messaging. She asks people to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location.
Sessions are delivered in English and international clients are not currently accepted. People thinking about counselling with her are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.
Client-centred practice and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the relationship between counsellor and person at the centre of work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person's lead to explore thoughts and feelings; this approach can help with issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and identity questions.She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas when it is helpful to look at unhelpful thinking patterns and small behavioural changes. This can support people dealing with stress, sleeping problems, or addictive behaviours.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and they will decide together which ways of working to try. That collaborative process helps shape sessions over time rather than fixing a single method from the start.
Lucy offers live sessions by video call, telephone and messaging. When booking, check the current session options so you know what is available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose whether to be on camera or use audio or messaging.
