About Lucy
Lucy Gardner helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and loss. She also supports those dealing with depression, low self esteem, motivation problems and addictions.

She keeps conversations straightforward and respectful. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small practical steps that can make life easier.
Background and approach
Lucy adapts the way she works to each person, shaping the pace and topics around individual needs and goals. Lucy uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness. She also draws on attachment-informed ideas and client-centred listening to help people understand patterns and build new ways of relating.
Therapy often includes short exercises, reflective conversation and setting small, achievable goals between sessions. She holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS. Lucy has four years of professional experience supporting people with emotional and practical challenges across many areas of life.
Sessions are offered in English and she sees people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Getting started typically involves a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that suit the person's schedule. Lucy aims to make the first steps clear and manageable so people can focus on the issues they want to change.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful and will adjust methods to match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a full conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to choose a style that feels comfortable.
