About Lucy

Lucy Rooney is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, career stress and depression. She aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity while adapting conversations to each person's needs.

Rooney draws on three years of professional experience to shape practical sessions. She focuses on helping people manage upsetting memories, rebuild trust after relationship harm, and cope with life changes like job loss or separation. Sessions often include direct talk about daily challenges and small steps to try between meetings.

Her work also addresses problems such as addictions, intimacy worries, sleeping difficulties and low self-esteem. Additional concerns she supports include attachment issues, body image, communication problems and feelings of guilt or shame. She is familiar with the emotional impact of serious illness and ageing-related worries.

Lucy holds NCPS, which is presented as her credential. She supports people in English and accepts international clients. The practical side of starting therapy is straightforward: complete the platform questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

She encourages anyone feeling uncertain about the first step to recognise that reaching out is a start. In sessions she aims to listen without judgement and to work with each person on goals that matter to them.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Lucy works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to make therapy practical and focused. One approach commonly used in this kind of work involves structured conversations that identify unhelpful patterns and then practise small behavioural changes; this can help with relationship problems, low mood and coping with life changes. Another common method focuses on processing traumatic memories in a paced way so people can feel less overwhelmed by past events and manage triggers more effectively.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different options, try things that fit your goals, and change course if something does not feel helpful. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that suits the person's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking as the profile did not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone meet with a therapist who works in a different region or country, which is useful for international clients.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
