About Lucy

Lucy Warner is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing grief and chronic illness. She works with men’s wellbeing among other concerns and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. She aims to make the first step easier and stays alongside clients as they find clearer footing.

With three years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she helps people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also works with anger, low self-esteem, panic, and motivation struggles. Practical everyday problems such as relationship strain, communication issues and career transitions are part of her work too.

Lucy has particular experience in grief and bereavement and supporting people with chronic pain, illness and disability. She also helps those dealing with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional effects of cancer. Her practice includes attention to attachment issues, guilt, shame and forgiveness.

In sessions she creates an open space for people to speak without fear of judgement and to make sense of difficult feelings. Conversations centre on what matters to the individual and on realistic next steps that feel achievable.

People meet her to talk through coping during major life changes, to work on self-love and confidence, or to address isolation and compassion fatigue. She supports clients who want to manage panic attacks, mood difficulties or to rebuild life after loss.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques Lucy uses focus on helping people make sense of feelings and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach is grief-focused work, which helps people process loss through talking, memory work and pacing adjustments so daily life becomes more manageable again. Another strand addresses anxiety and panic by teaching grounding and breathing skills, and by gradually facing feared situations to reduce avoidance and distress.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and try different ways of working if something does not fit. Sessions are collaborative and adapt as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity of care when travel is difficult. It can also allow shorter check-ins that suit a work break, or conversations without needing a long commute. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
