Lucy Middleton, NCPS

Lucy Middleton is an integrative therapist registered in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience and the NCPS credential (a professional counselling qualification). She blends different therapeutic methods to match each person's needs, drawing on structured techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and on more open, reflective approaches that give clients space to explore and make sense of their experiences.

Early in her career she worked at a women’s charity in an area of low socioeconomic status, supporting people who faced limited access to financial, educational, social, and health resources. Many clients presented with histories of childhood adversity and ongoing trauma, and her work there focused on helping them break cycles of harm and find greater emotional strength and empowerment.

Lucy has supported people through grief, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, parenting and relationship challenges, and issues related to substance use by themselves or a loved one. She currently works with the NHS Talking Therapies and maintains a private practice, contracting with online services as part of her work.

As a person-centered therapist, Lucy listens without judgment and centers the client’s own goals and perspective. She believes clients are experts on their lives and that therapy can build on existing strengths. Taking the first step can be difficult, and she aims to offer steady, compassionate support throughout that process.
