Lucy Travers, BACP

Lucy Travers offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship struggles. She writes plainly and listens without judgement, helping people talk things through and make manageable changes. Lucy aims to make the first steps feel straightforward and doable.

Lucy uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions are shaped around what someone needs and can change from week to week.

Lucy trained to a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, which equips her with core counselling skills and practical tools. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and follows their ethical framework. That means she works in line with professional guidelines.

Her main focus areas include stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image and communication problems. Lucy adapts techniques to suit different problems and personal styles.

Sessions take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to Lucy's schedule. She aims for clear, practical steps and ongoing collaboration.

How Lucy's approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns shape current relationships and helps people notice recurring ways of relating. It can be useful for those troubled by trust, closeness or separation worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. It tends to be practical and goal-focused, helping with stress, panic and low mood. Client-centred therapy gives people space to speak without judgement while the counsellor reflects and supports their own problem solving. It suits people who need a steady, listening presence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lucy will talk through different ways of working and together they will decide what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which adds flexibility for busy lives. Video is close to an in-person meeting, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat or text work well for brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit counselling around work, travel or other commitments and make it easier to keep continuity between appointments.
