Dr. Lucy Flitton

Dr Lucy Flitton welcomes people who feel stuck by anxiety, low mood, repeating relationship patterns or the strain of big life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully to find what matters most to each person. Many come wanting clearer thinking, calmer days or more confident decisions. Lucy offers steady, practical support as people work towards those goals.

She has 17 years of experience and is listed with BACP and NCPS. Her work draws on a client-centred stance, where the person’s own priorities lead the conversation. In practice this means helping people notice patterns, try new ways of thinking and test small changes between sessions.

Lucy uses a range of approaches to match different needs. She works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with anxious or depressive thinking. Attachment-based ideas and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy are used when relationships or intense emotions are central concerns.

Her background includes developmental and neuropsychology perspectives, and she pays attention to how stress and the body interact with feeling states. That can help when sleep, eating, chronic pain or trauma-related responses are part of the picture. Lucy also explores how language and internal parts affect self-view and relationships.

Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding. People who work with her often report feeling more grounded, better able to manage strong emotions, and clearer about next steps. If this sounds like what you need, use the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small committed actions. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and gives straightforward techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with sleep, worry and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current bonds and can be helpful when relationship patterns and intimacy are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and try a collaborative route that fits the person’s goals and preferences. That means deciding together whether to focus on skills practice, exploring relationship patterns, or a mix of both.

Practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit around daily life and reducing travel time. Online work can allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling that suits work or family routines.
