Lucy Rooney , NCPS

Lucy Rooney is a United Kingdom based therapist who holds the NCPS credential, a recognized professional credential in psychological services. She has three years of clinical experience working with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career challenges, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice also addresses a wide range of related issues including aging and geriatric concerns, attachment and body image struggles, cancer-related emotional impacts, commitment and communication problems, control and dependent personality concerns, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, family problems, forgiveness, guilt, and shame. Lucy approaches each person with sensitivity and respect, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to align with an individual’s needs and goals while offering practical support to navigate difficult transitions.

She acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and honors that first step. Lucy works with international clients, and at this time she is not accepting new clients.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy

Lucy Rooney draws on evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches to help people recover from abuse and overwhelming experiences. Trauma-informed work focuses on safety, stabilization, and slowly processing distressing memories, which can reduce symptoms related to past harm and improve day-to-day functioning. She also uses relationship- and attachment-focused methods that explore patterns in close relationships, communication, and emotional connection - these approaches are useful for conflict, intimacy concerns, and rebuilding trust.

In addition, Lucy incorporates skills-based strategies that teach practical tools for managing mood, stress, sleep, and addictive behaviors. These techniques emphasize concrete steps clients can use between sessions to support recovery and resilience. Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process - Lucy partners with each person to identify goals, try options, and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Lucy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to receive support from home or while traveling. These remote options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
