Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Lucy often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to help clients when working online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking meaningful action aligned with personal values - it can be useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening and the therapist offering unconditional support so clients feel heard and can explore their own solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem and addressing emotional concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and promote steadier mood regulation, which can assist with anxiety, low mood and coping with loss.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lucy works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might be combined, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of support across locations and changing schedules, while allowing registered professionals to deliver focused, goal-oriented care in ways that suit each client.
