About Lucy
Lucy Nicolaysen is a counsellor who uses relationship-focused approaches to help people make sense of what feels wrong in their lives. She works to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and encourages people to talk through what is causing them distress. Sessions aim to ease feelings of stuckness and create space for new ways of moving forward.
She draws on Attachment-Based work to look at how early connections shape current relationships. Client-Centred methods are used to follow the person’s priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools are offered when helpful for managing unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Lucy has six years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, addiction-related issues, grief, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, life changes, and midlife questions.
Additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and men's issues. Work often covers intimacy-related worries, parenting stresses, and the emotional impact of separation and divorce.
Lucy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How these approaches work online and what to expect
Lucy combines Attachment-Based methods with Client-Centred work to create a calm, listening space. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand their reactions in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work and follows their pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used for practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and compulsive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and recommend ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses to better fit what helps you most.
