Lucy Castro, BACP

Lucy Castro offers a warm, grounded space where adults can explore feelings, make sense of difficult moments, and move toward change at a comfortable pace. She takes a collaborative, person-centred approach that honours each individual’s priorities while often integrating short-term, solution-focused techniques to help clarify what matters and set practical steps forward. With 11 years of experience, Lucy supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or are navigating life transitions, bringing honesty, care, and steady attention to the therapeutic relationship.

People who work with her frequently say they feel truly seen during sessions, and that even brief courses of work can produce meaningful shifts. Sessions include regular reviews of goals and progress, so the work can be adjusted as needed to reflect changing priorities and to ensure therapy stays relevant and effective. Her practice addresses a range of concerns including anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, life direction, and emotional burnout, and she also brings experience from roles supporting people with national and local charities.

Lucy is a registered member of BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers both in-person and online sessions, and works collaboratively with each person to find an approach that fits their needs.

Person-Centred and Solution-Focused Support Online

Lucy often draws on person-centred therapy, which creates a compassionate, non-directive space where the person’s own priorities guide the work. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem, and processing difficult emotions. She also integrates short-term solution-focused techniques that concentrate on identifying practical goals and small, achievable steps toward change - an approach that can suit people managing stress, life transitions, or specific challenges.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. Lucy collaborates with each person to explore which approaches feel most helpful, tailoring sessions to individual needs, goals, and preferences so the work stays relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Lucy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and connect with a registered professional from different locations, while preserving the relational focus that supports meaningful progress.
