About Lucy

Dr Lucy Flitton is a UK-based psychologist and psychotherapist with 17 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties, mood problems and a wide range of life challenges. She works with adults, adolescents and children, drawing on a client-centred framework that honours each person’s story and priorities.

Her practice brings together trauma-informed and somatic perspectives, including training in the Polyvagal model, somatic approaches and Internal Family Systems to help people understand how emotions are held in the body and how different parts of the self interact. She also integrates existential and positive psychology ideas to support post-traumatic growth, renewed purpose and stronger relationships. Dr Flitton combines insights from developmental psychology, neuropsychology and health psychology to view difficulties across the life course and within broader social contexts.

As an NLP Master practitioner she pays careful attention to how language shapes experience and relationship patterns. Her wide toolkit is applied flexibly to help clients manage overwhelming emotions, set healthier boundaries, improve sleep and recover steadiness after challenging events. Many people describe feeling lighter, more grounded and more able to act with confidence and self-compassion after working with her.

She holds professional credentials including BACP, a UK counselling and psychotherapy association, and NCPS. Dr Flitton works with international clients but is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and situations where avoidance limits engagement.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in close relationships. It explores how early attachment experiences shape current connections and can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues and attachment wounds.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work, offering empathic listening and support so clients can explore their experience and find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, managing transitions and developing greater self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Flitton collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences and adapts interventions over time to reflect what is most helpful.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to access care from home or work. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity across locations and enable clients to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
