About Lucy
Lucy Palmer is a counsellor based in Scotland with three years of experience and a BACP accreditation. She offers a welcoming, person-centred approach and aims to help people feel heard and understood. Lucy works inclusively with LGBT clients and focuses on building a trusting relationship first.
Sessions are available by video call, telephone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lucy helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and changes in life such as grief or separation.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with addictions, sleep or eating concerns, low self-esteem and career pressures. Phobias are listed among the areas she works with, and she will talk through fears at a pace that suits each person. Her background includes a Higher National Diploma in Counselling and roles as a listening service volunteer and online peer supporter.
Lucy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and draws on different ways of working to match each person’s needs. Lucy uses a person-centred style which places the relationship at the heart of sessions. She integrates ideas from Humanistic, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic thinking when helpful.
The practical aim is to help people reconnect with their own strengths and make changes outside sessions. New conversations start with a short matching process and then scheduling a session. Lucy keeps sessions straightforward and judgment-free, focusing on what matters most to the person who comes for support.
How Lucy's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and understanding. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space and follows the person's lead to help them make sense of feelings and choose next steps. This approach suits issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, identity questions and coping with loss.Lucy also blends ideas from cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic thinking when they seem helpful. Cognitive behavioural ideas can support people who want practical tools for anxiety or sleep problems, while psychodynamic thinking can help if someone wants to look at patterns that repeat in relationships. Deciding which ideas to use is a collaborative process between counsellor and client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, telephone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options let people access therapy around work, family and daily life without travel.
