Dr. Lucy Flitton, BACP, NCPS

Dr Lucy Flitton welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, repeating relationship patterns, or the strain of big life changes. She writes plainly and aims to make the first step easier to take. Her name and experience are up front so visitors know who they would be working with.

Lucy has 17 years of clinical experience. Her practice draws on a range of psychological ideas to match the work to each person’s story. She uses client-centred ways of working, and combines that with approaches that look at thoughts, emotions and behaviour.

Her background includes work with trauma-related difficulties, stress, addictions, sleep problems and relationship issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, career questions and identity concerns such as LGBT matters. Additional areas she mentions include ADHD, bipolar and body image challenges.

Lucy describes using techniques that attend to how emotions appear in the body and how different parts of a person can be understood and spoken with. She also draws on developmental and neuropsychological ideas when helpful, and uses language-based methods to notice how words shape experience.

People who work with her often learn practical ways to manage strong feelings, set firmer boundaries and find more confidence in daily life. The aim is to move from feeling stuck to feeling more grounded and able to face difficult moments with greater self-kindness.

Sessions are run from the United Kingdom and are offered in English. International clients are welcome. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Lucy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when worry or avoidance prevent people from living in ways they care about. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with repeated relationship patterns and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm how sessions are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, making it simpler to schedule around work, or allowing shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also let people access support from the UK while living elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, breathing and grounding practices for remote sessions so practical skill-building continues between meetings.
