About Lucy
Dr Lucy Flitton welcomes people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low mood or repeating relationship patterns. She often works with those facing life transitions, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, or questions about identity. Lucy writes plainly and listens closely to the practical problems you bring, then helps you find clearer ways forward.
With 17 years of professional experience, Lucy combines several ways of working to match each person’s story. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed approaches and client-centred listening. She aims to help people notice how thoughts and bodily feelings influence choices and relationships.
Her background includes work in developmental and health psychology and experience with trauma-related difficulties. She draws on ideas from existential thinking and positive psychology to help people find renewed purpose and practical next steps. Lucy also pays attention to language and how it shapes patterns, using that awareness to support change.
Lucy has worked with issues such as addiction, grief, parenting challenges, intimacy and relationship concerns, eating and sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness, and blended family stresses. She aims to help people develop tools to manage strong emotions and set clearer boundaries.
The style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems going, learning simple skills, and testing small changes that fit everyday life. People often leave feeling more grounded, with clearer choices and practical ways to cope.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase purposeful action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behavioural experiments to ease symptoms like anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people build safer ways of connecting and setting boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what matters to you, try different ways of working, and agree on a plan that fits your goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist who accepts international clients. Discussing session length, camera use and practical arrangements at the first appointment helps tailor online sessions to your life and needs.
