Lucy Rooney, NCPS

Lucy Rooney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career pressures and depression. She works in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to make sessions calm and practical. Lucy holds the NCPS credential and practises in the United Kingdom.

Lucy keeps sessions focused on what matters now. She listens to each person's story and tailors conversations and goals to suit their needs. That might mean setting small steps to manage low mood, talking through communication problems, or finding coping strategies after a painful event.

Over three years of professional practice shape Lucy's approach. She draws on widely used therapeutic methods and adapts them to the individual. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue.

Lucy also has experience with longer-term and complex issues. These include attachment difficulties, dissociation, divorce and separation, and bereavement linked to cancer. She helps people navigate guilt, shame and forgiveness while supporting practical next steps for change.

Sessions may focus on managing immediate distress, building daily routines, or improving communication and boundaries. The aim is to create a clear plan you can try between appointments, then adjust it as progress is made. Lucy encourages steady, achievable change and will work with each person at a measured pace.

Practical approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Lucy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical change. One approach focuses on identifying current patterns and habits that keep problems going, then testing small changes to see what helps. This method can be useful for low mood, sleep problems and coping with life changes. Another approach concentrates on understanding the impact of trauma and abuse, helping people work through painful memories and develop stabilising strategies for daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lucy will talk through different options and adapt methods to your needs, goals and preferences. Together you decide whether to prioritise immediate coping skills, deeper trauma work, or a mix of both, and you can change direction as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit in. Video calls let you keep visual contact and share nuanced reactions. Phone work can be a good choice when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to use a camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or days when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats give flexibility for busy schedules and people living in different locations, while still allowing regular, structured support from registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
