About Lucy
Dr Lucy Flitton welcomes people who are juggling persistent worry, low mood, repeating relationship patterns, or the strain of major life changes. She introduces herself plainly and listens first to each person’s story. Sessions aim to help clients gain clarity, reduce distressing symptoms, and find ways to feel steadier day to day.
Lucy uses a mix of approaches chosen to match the individual. Jungian therapy appears alongside practical methods like cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Background and approach
This variety lets her address thoughts, feelings, bodily reactions, and deeper personal meaning as needed. Her background includes 17 years of professional experience and registrations with BACP and NCPS. She draws on developmental and health psychology ideas to understand how life events shape current difficulties.
That helps when problems link to past experiences, chronic illness, or long-standing patterns in relationships. In sessions she works from a client-centred stance, paying attention to how people use language and how their emotions show up physically. This allows practical steps for sleep, stress, anxiety, mood, and behaviour alongside work on identity and purpose.
Lucy also brings experience with trauma-related problems, addiction, parenting stress, grief, and neurodiversity concerns. The work can include short-term skills for coping and longer conversations that aim to shift underlying patterns. People who meet with her often focus on building boundaries, managing overwhelming emotions, and reconnecting with hope.
She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally and runs sessions across several online formats.

Online support
How different approaches translate to online therapy
Jungian therapy focuses on meaning, dreams and recurring life themes. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to help people notice patterns, symbols and significant life stories that influence mood and relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In remote work this often involves short exercises, values clarification and practical experiments to try between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection and trust. Through careful dialogue and guided reflection a therapist and client can work on ways to build safer, more effective relating in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is collaborative and can change over time as different issues come into focus.
Online formats make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, brief coaching or ongoing support between longer sessions. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to offer flexible, accessible care that matches different rhythms and practical needs.
