Online support
How these approaches work online
Lucy uses Existential Therapy to help people consider meaning, choice and responsibility in life. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck, uncertain about purpose, or overwhelmed by big life decisions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and then take actions that reflect what matters most.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas when relationships and trust are central to the concern, helping people understand patterns in how they connect with others. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and they will try methods collaboratively to find what fits best for each person.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
