Lucy Rooney , NCPS

Lucy Rooney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression and career concerns. Lucy works with adults on issues such as intimacy, addictions, sleep problems and low self-esteem, and she lists women's issues among her areas of focus.

She brings three years of professional experience to her work and holds NCPS as a credential. Lucy aims to meet people with respect and sensitivity. She keeps conversations straightforward and adapts the pace to each person's needs.

Sessions are shaped around what each person wants to address. That might mean talking through past hurts, improving communication, or building new coping strategies for stress and life changes. Practical steps and small experiments between sessions are common parts of her approach.

Lucy also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, body image concerns, grief and ageing-related worries. She is comfortable addressing issues linked to addiction, domestic violence and separation while staying focused on an individual's goals.

People can expect a collaborative style where goals are reviewed as therapy progresses. Lucy encourages realistic steps and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage. She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Lucy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach involves helping people process traumatic memories and reduce their impact by building coping skills and managing triggers; this can help with trauma, abuse and related anxiety. Another approach focuses on resolving relationship and communication problems by practising clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries, useful for intimacy and commitment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and worries, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust as you go. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively so the plan matches what you want to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits longer discussions and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, live chat lets you check in in the moment, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and make it easier to maintain regular contact with a therapist.
