Lucy Peacock, NCPS, BACP

Lucy Peacock is a counsellor who works from an integrative perspective and draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS accreditation. Lucy works with people aged 16 and over on a wide range of problems including stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, depression and addictions.

She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem and career questions. Other areas she addresses include coping with life changes, bipolar mood issues, eating difficulties and anger. Her practice notes additional focuses such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and communication problems.

Lucy aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. She says she will tailor conversations and any treatment plan to each person’s needs. That includes working at a pace that feels manageable and choosing techniques that fit the problem being discussed.

Lucy describes the first steps as practical and collaborative. She encourages people to be honest about their goals so she can help them map small, achievable changes. The work often involves noticing patterns, trying different ways of responding and building new coping skills.

She acknowledges that reaching out takes courage and offers a supportive, calm space to talk things through. Prospective clients are asked to start by using the site’s continue button on this profile and completing a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand trust, closeness and repeated relationship reactions so they can try different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy centres on a warm, non-judgemental conversational space. The counsellor listens carefully and follows the client's pace so people can explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses simple, practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made and different issues arise.

The profile does not specify which online session types are used, so please check current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to help people manage stress, process grief, address relationship patterns and build new skills.
