About Lucy Nicolaysen
As the work unfolds, feelings of being stuck tend to loosen and clients find ways to move through their challenges. This progression often reshapes the relationship a person has with themselves and supports development along their life journey. In her practice, Lucy has supported people dealing with conflicts in relationships and families, resurfacing traumatic memories, panic attacks, intense self-criticism, fertility concerns, sexual abuse, overwhelming hopelessness, depression, grief, and loneliness.
She brings a warm, attentive presence and a commitment to working collaboratively with each person who comes for support. Lucy holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Lucy draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support people with relationship, emotional, and trauma-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early bonds influence current relationship patterns and can help when abandonment, attachment issues, or intimacy concerns are present. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the client’s experience guides the pace of change, supporting self-understanding and personal growth. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lucy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the work as therapy progresses so the approach matches what the client finds most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life. These options increase accessibility for clients living in different locations or with varied schedules, while still allowing meaningful work with licensed professionals and therapists who specialize in relationship and trauma care.
