About Lucy

Lucy Peacock is a BACP registered counsellor and holds NCPS accreditation. She has five years of clinical experience and works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

She helps people who struggle with codependency and related patterns like people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and losing their sense of self around others. She also supports clients dealing with addictions, parenting strain, career challenges and coping with life changes. Practical, conversational work is emphasised rather than technical jargon.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on understanding relationship patterns, recognising unhelpful thinking and practising different ways of responding. She may also use elements of Jungian and mindfulness work where they fit the client’s concerns.

Lucy describes her practice as respectful and sensitive, and she adapts the way she talks and plans sessions to match each person’s situation. She has worked with people experiencing abandonment issues, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and the ripple effects of family breakdown.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Fees can vary by location and are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect present feelings and responses. Online sessions can help people notice attachment reactions, practise new ways of relating, and build steadier boundaries in everyday life.

Client-centred therapy centres on careful listening and following the person’s lead. In an online conversation this means the counsellor reflects what matters most to the client and adjusts pace and questions to suit how things are going that day.

Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses straightforward exercises to test different responses. Online sessions can include short practical tasks and planning between meetings to try new ways of thinking and acting in real situations.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the early sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client’s goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a single model.

The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats offered, which are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit around daily life, can choose quieter times, or keep sessions shorter when needed. Registered or accredited professionals are experienced in adapting these approaches to remote conversations and practical follow-up between meetings.
