Lucy Peacock, NCPS, BACP

Counsellor Lucy Peacock is BACP and NCPS registered and has five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Lucy uses an integrative approach drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural ideas, Jungian thinking and mindfulness. In practice she aims to make sessions straightforward. Conversations focus on what is causing difficulty now and ways to manage feelings and behaviours day to day.

She often helps people manage anxiety, depression, loss and the effects of past abuse. Lucy also works with longer standing personality and identity concerns, and with people coping with major life changes. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking about patterns are typical parts of how she works.

Lucy describes a collaborative process. She will listen to what matters most and then agree a way forward. That might include talking through relationships, experimenting with new ways of responding, or using mindfulness to reduce distress.

Her background mixes contemporary talking therapies with psychodynamic and Jungian ideas about personal meaning. This combination is used to look at both present problems and the experiences that shape repeated patterns. Sessions are structured but conversational, and progress is reviewed as work continues.
