Lucy Nicholas, BACP

Lucy Nicholas is a BACP-registered counsellor with eight years of professional experience who offers an empathetic, tailored approach to therapy.

She trained to a high academic standard, holding a first-class honours degree in counselling and a degree in psychology, and she has a post-qualification certificate in online counselling. As an integrative practitioner, she draws on a range of therapeutic models to shape sessions around each person's needs, including client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused techniques when appropriate. Her registration with BACP indicates professional recognition within the UK counselling profession.

Lucy has supported people in settings that include counselling charities, schools, and private practice, helping with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, career matters, and ADHD. She also gives attention to issues like guilt and shame, self-love and women's matters, and compassion fatigue.

Clients often report that her warm, calm, and sensitive manner aids the development of a strong therapeutic relationship. She has six years of experience working via video and telephone and uses that experience to adapt therapy to each person rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all method. While Lucy brings training and techniques to sessions, she emphasizes that the client remains the expert on their own story, and she works to support each person on their journey. Her practice is inclusive and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds.
