Lucy Rooney, NCPS

Lucy Rooney is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage difficult changes and painful memories. She works with individuals on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career worries and depression. Lucy aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most to them.

Lucy holds NCPS, which denotes a recognised credential in her professional record. She has three years of clinical experience supporting people through loss, life transitions and addiction-related struggles. Her approach is respectful and direct, focused on the practical steps that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

In sessions Lucy tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. She helps people break down big problems into small, manageable steps. Typical work can include improving sleep routines, building self-esteem, and addressing intimacy-related concerns.

She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, attachment difficulties, and the emotional impact of serious illness such as cancer. Where trauma or dissociation appear, Lucy works at a steady pace so clients feel able to manage difficult material.

To begin, people complete a short questionnaire to match them with a suitable therapist and then schedule sessions according to availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients may be seen. Sessions are conducted in English.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online counselling

Lucy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure work in a clear and practical way. One common approach focuses on breaking problems into small steps and building skills for day-to-day coping, which helps with depression, sleep issues and low self-esteem. Another approach targets trauma-related symptoms by pacing conversations carefully and developing stabilisation strategies before addressing painful memories; this is useful when trauma, dissociation or abuse are part of the concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about your goals, past experiences and what feels manageable, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative decision helps set realistic targets and keeps the work tailored to the individual.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also help people stay consistent with sessions while juggling work, medical appointments or family commitments.
