About Lucy
Dr Lucy Flitton welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or anxious and want clearer thinking and steadier days. She speaks plainly about worries like low mood, repeating relationship patterns, trouble sleeping and big life changes, and helps people find manageable steps forward. She draws on 17 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and works from a client-centred stance.
That means conversations start with what matters to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking and understanding how feelings show up in the body. Her approach mixes several ways of working so therapy fits the person, not a single method. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to act in line with their values even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based ideas help make sense of repeating patterns in close relationships. Lucy also brings in wider strands from neuropsychology, health psychology and existential thinking to help people find meaning and purpose alongside symptom relief.
She pays attention to how language shapes experience and to the physical side of emotion when that is relevant. People come for help with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, grief, self-esteem and many other issues. Sessions aim to leave clients with clearer options, useful tools and renewed hope for the next steps.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters to you and helps you take action in line with your values even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and people facing life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve sleep, mood and stress management. Attachment-Based ideas pay attention to how early and current relationships shape patterns today and can help when repeated relationship dynamics cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods together to see what fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and worksheets, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is a short way to check in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps and regular support.
