About Lucy
Lucy Peters is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety and phobias. She works with individuals facing grief, relationship strain, low self esteem and sleep or eating difficulties. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at making the first steps easier for someone who is worried or unsure.
Lucy has around ten years of experience in counselling work and holds the NCPS credential. She draws on that experience to listen carefully and help people put steps in place that suit their day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Sessions are down-to-earth and paced to what each person can manage. In practical terms she helps clients try different ways to reduce intense feelings, manage anger, and cope with life changes. Lucy also offers support around parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues affecting LGBT clients.
She is experienced supporting people with ADHD, hoarding behaviours and those who are hearing impaired. Her style is collaborative and calm. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where someone can talk about hard things and plan small, achievable changes.
Lucy encourages clear goals and simple strategies that can be practised outside sessions. People interested in working remotely can do so from New Hampshire. Lucy also accepts international clients and offers a variety of online session formats to fit different needs.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Lucy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and manageable steps. One approach emphasises gradual exposure and skills practice to reduce phobic reactions and anxiety by facing feared situations in a controlled way. Another common technique involves short behavioural and cognitive strategies to tackle unhelpful thoughts, improve sleep and lower stress levels; these are taught and practised during sessions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through what is most helpful for the issues you bring, consider your goals and adapt methods as you progress. You and the counsellor together decide which techniques to try and when to adjust them based on what works best for you.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let you meet face to face without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier if you prefer not to be on camera, while live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
