Lucy Hill, BACP

Lucy Hill welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure what to do next. She aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through stress, anxiety, low mood, loss and relationship worries in a straightforward way.

She uses Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, choice and personal values. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical ways to move forward from difficult feelings or situations.

Lucy has four years of experience as a therapist and holds BACP accreditation. Before training as a counsellor she spent over 15 years in supporting roles, working alongside adults, children and young people in different settings.

Her style is inclusive and non-judgemental. She makes space for people from different cultural backgrounds, neurodivergent people and those who identify as LGBT. Conversations are paced to suit each person and to build trust gradually.

Typical topics include anxiety, bereavement, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, bipolar and depression. Lucy also offers coaching-style support when someone wants clearer goals and steps.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial booking step are used to arrange sessions. This helps connect people to the right therapist and set workable times for calls or messaging.

Existential perspectives and online support

Existential Therapy helps people look at life questions such as purpose, choice and responsibility. It invites honest reflection about values and the meanings behind difficult feelings, which can help when coping with loss, anxiety or big life changes.

Sessions are collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify which approaches suit their situation and goals. Together they decide what to try and adjust the plan as things evolve, so the work fits the person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are good for shorter check-ins, for jotting down thoughts between calls, or when fitting therapy into a busy day.

These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family responsibilities and travel, while letting people choose the pace and format that helps them engage best with the therapeutic process.
