About Lucy
Dr Lucy Flitton welcomes people who feel stuck, anxious, low in mood, or worn down by repeated relationship patterns. She writes in a direct way and aims to help clients find clearer thinking and steadier emotion. Lucy is based in the United Kingdom and draws on 17 years of clinical experience.
She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers therapy in English. Her work focuses on what is happening for you now and how that links with past experience.
Background and approach
She uses Existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and purpose, and combines that with practical methods to manage strong emotions. Sessions are grounded in a client-centred approach where the person's concerns set the pace. Lucy draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to offer concrete tools for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress.
Attachment-based thinking helps when relationships and closeness cause repeated difficulties. She adapts methods to each person's situation rather than using one fixed style. People come to her for a wide range of issues including trauma, addictions, parenting strain, grief, eating or body-image worries, ADHD and workplace stress.
She also supports those working through separation, career shifts or problems with intimacy and self-esteem. The focus is on manageable steps forward and clearer choices. Sessions can take the form of conversation, practical exercises and paced reflection.
Lucy encourages clients to notice what changes between sessions and to bring specific moments they want to work on. Over time the aim is greater self-understanding, calmer responses and more reliable daily coping.

Online support
How therapy approaches work online and fit your goals
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. It helps when people feel stuck, uncertain or are facing big life changes by focusing on what matters to them and how they want to live.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It introduces small experiments and actions tied to your values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and closeness. It can be helpful when repeated relationship difficulties or intimacy issues cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and will use techniques from different approaches as needed. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as your needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for a full conversational session, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
