About Lucy

Lucy Palmer is a professional counsellor based in Scotland, United Kingdom, who welcomes people navigating life’s challenges with warmth and empathy. She works in a person-centred way that is LGBTQ+ inclusive, offering a calm space where individuals can explore identity, grief and bereavement, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and stress. Lucy believes each person carries their own form of resilience, and counselling can help reconnect someone with that resilient part of themselves while offering insights that endure beyond sessions.

She trained to a Higher National Diploma in Counselling, a vocational qualification focused on practical counselling skills, and is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her approach is integrative, drawing on Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic and Pluralistic ideas, with the therapeutic relationship at the heart of every meeting. This flexibility allows her to tailor the work to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Her background includes roles as a counsellor, listening service volunteer and online peer supporter, which inform a compassionate, non-judgemental style. Her practice includes live sessions by video call, telephone and messaging, and she commonly holds live sessions on Tuesdays. Lucy aims to offer a listening ear and supportive partnership as clients take the first steps into counselling.

Client-Centered Support and Online Access

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-directive space where the client’s experience guides the work. The therapist offers empathy, acceptance and genuine regard to help individuals explore identity, self-esteem, relationships and emotional distress at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop skills to manage anxiety, low mood and stress. It often includes techniques for coping with daily challenges and building more effective behaviours.

Psychodynamic ideas are used to explore how past relationships and attachment patterns can influence current feelings and interactions, supporting deeper insight into recurring difficulties such as attachment issues and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lucy works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods and pacing so the work feels right for each person.

Online therapy by video call, telephone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those who prefer remote sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
