About Lucy

Lucy Rooney is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people through difficult life moments. She focuses on relationships, trauma and abuse, loss and grief, career problems and depression. Lucy aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people who are nervous about taking the first step.

With three years of experience and the NCPS credential, she adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions look at practical ways to manage mood, sleep and substance concerns while addressing patterns that make intimacy and communication hard.

Lucy also supports people facing ageing and geriatric issues, cancer-related worries, and compassion fatigue. She works through feelings of guilt, shame, dissociation and dependent personality patterns in straightforward, paced sessions. The work often combines practical coping strategies with time to process loss and change.

Her style is direct but kind. She listens for underlying fears and helps people try small changes between sessions. Clients can expect clear goals, simple tools for daily life, and a steady focus on what matters now.

For anyone ready to begin, she asks that you select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to therapist availability and the subscription used for sessions.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Lucy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach emphasises identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and trying small experiments to change them, useful for depression, anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on working through traumatic memories and their impact on daily life by pacing discussion and building coping skills before addressing painful material.

Deciding which method to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms and preferences, and then suggest an approach to try. This collaborative way helps adjust the plan over time if something is not working.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue care while living in different places, including international clients who wish to work in English.
