About Lucy
Lucy Hughes offers a person-centred, integrative approach that prioritises a warm, non-judgemental relationship. She aims to create a space where people can speak openly, feel heard, and begin to reconnect with themselves. Her style is calm and straightforward, with a touch of humour when it helps ease tension.
Lucy works with adults over 18 who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the impacts of trauma and abuse. She also helps people with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Background and approach
Many clients seek support around life purpose and building self-love. With three years of experience and NCPS listed as her credential, Lucy blends person-centred counselling with other approaches to fit each person’s needs. In sessions she focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find practical steps they can try between meetings.
She aims to match her style to the person rather than applying a fixed method. Lucy says she is trauma-informed and works to make sessions inclusive and respectful of different backgrounds and identities. She welcomes adults in their 20s and 30s who feel pressured to have life figured out, as well as anyone else wanting to talk through a difficult period.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Lucy works online
Working integratively means combining different evidence-based techniques to fit the person in front of the counsellor. That can include practical strategies for managing anxiety or low mood alongside reflective conversation about relationships and self-worth.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods over time as needs change.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who find talking from their own surroundings less daunting or who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective therapeutic work remotely, and the practical benefits often help clients maintain continuity and momentum between sessions.
