Lucy Hill, BACP

Lucy Hill is an inclusive counsellor who works with people from a wide range of backgrounds, including neurodivergent individuals, members of the LGBTQ community, people with disabilities, and those from diverse cultural contexts. She values each person she meets and explores with clients how best to provide tailored support for their needs and goals.

Lucy recognises that searching for a therapist can feel daunting and sometimes confusing, especially given the variety of approaches used across the profession. She believes effective therapy depends on finding someone clients feel comfortable with, and that it is reasonable to look until the right fit is found. Whatever has led someone to seek counselling, Lucy offers non-judgmental, personal spaces to explore difficulties and work toward practical and emotional change.

She is a qualified Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and is training in Psychotherapy, and she also holds the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Lucy has worked with adults, children, and young people in a range of helping roles for over 15 years, bringing that breadth of experience to sessions focused on issues such as anxiety, relationships, low mood, grief, and coping with life changes.

Lucy looks forward to supporting people with the goals they want to achieve and invites prospective clients to learn more at www.lucyhcounselling.com.

Existential and Humanistic approaches in online therapy

Lucy draws on existential and humanistic ideas to guide online work in straightforward, accessible ways. Existential therapy helps people explore questions of meaning, choice, responsibility, and how to live authentically in the face of life changes. It can be particularly useful for clients coping with grief, transitions, uncertainty, or feelings of disconnection.

The humanistic perspective emphasises empathy, respect, and the client’s own capacity for growth. This approach supports self-esteem, relationship concerns, and emotional expression by creating a collaborative space where the client’s experience is central.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lucy works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss different ways of working and adapt sessions so the approach matches what the client hopes to achieve.

Online options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility constraints, or geographic limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access registered professionals and therapists from a location that works best for the client.
