Dr. Lucy Flitton , BACP, NCPS

Dr Lucy Flitton is a UK-based psychologist and psychotherapist with 17 years of professional experience, holding the professional credentials BACP and NCPS. These indicate recognised standing with counselling and psychotherapy organisations and reflect her commitment to professional standards in therapeutic practice.

She works with adults, adolescents and children, tailoring interventions to each person’s history and current needs while operating within a client-centered framework. Her practice draws on a range of methods so that therapeutic work aligns with the presenting story and goals of each individual.

Her training includes work with complex trauma, integrative somatic approaches and the Polyvagal model to help people understand how emotions appear in the body. She also uses Internal Family Systems to explore conflicting parts, applies existential ideas to support meaning-making and post-traumatic growth, and integrates principles from positive psychology. In addition, Dr Flitton brings perspectives from developmental psychology, neuropsychology and health psychology to inform assessment and planning.

With training as an NLP Master practitioner, she attends closely to the role of language in shaping experience and relationship dynamics. Her toolkit supports people through difficulties such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family challenges, grief, sleep and eating problems, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Clients report feeling lighter and more grounded after working with her; they gain practical tools for managing intense emotions, set healthier boundaries and reconnect with a sense of hope and agency. Dr Flitton also publishes articles and blogs on ACCPH, Substack and Medium as well as on her private practice website.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to clarify personal values and to take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions where avoidance has become a barrier to living more meaningfully.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach helps with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns across family and couple dynamics.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard and collaboration so that clients lead the pace and focus of change. It is particularly helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief and developing a stronger sense of agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Lucy Flitton works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, adapting interventions over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - allowing people to access consistent support from home or while travelling. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
