About Lucy
Dr Lucy Flitton is a psychologist with 17 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, anger or repeating relationship patterns. She also supports those coping with grief, stressful life changes, sleep problems and addiction-related difficulties.
Her practice uses a client-centred framework as a starting point. She draws on cognitive and behavioural methods, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to help people understand what keeps difficult feelings going. Sessions often look at how emotions appear in the body and how language and inner parts influence behaviour.
Lucy integrates developmental and neuropsychology perspectives to place current problems in a wider life-course context. She also uses some existential ideas to help people consider meaning, purpose and values when making changes. This mix is used to create clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory alone.
People work with her to learn coping skills, set boundaries, reduce reactive responses and manage overwhelming emotions. Practical techniques include grounding, behavioural experiments and values-based planning alongside talking through relationship patterns.
She writes about mental health on several sites and uses those resources alongside sessions when useful. To start, the usual route is a short questionnaire and an initial session to agree goals and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Lucy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them and then act in line with their values. It can be useful for anger, avoidance and low mood by shifting focus to practical steps that matter.She also works with attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. This helps people understand why certain situations trigger intense emotions and how to change interaction patterns. Client-centred sessions provide a steady, person-focused frame where the client's concerns guide the work and practical goals are set together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree which methods to try based on their needs and goals. That collaborative planning includes trying different techniques and reviewing what helps.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain steady progress while juggling everyday life.
