Lucy Hill, BACP

Lucy Hill is a counsellor who welcomes people from a wide range of backgrounds. She names inclusivity and respect as central to her practice and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. Her profile makes clear she aims to help with everyday struggles like anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties.

Lucy uses a humanistic, person-centred stance and draws on existential therapy in her work. That means she focuses on what matters to each person, their choices and the meanings they give to life events. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.

Her training includes a qualification as a Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and she is working towards further psychotherapy training. She also holds BACP registration, which is recorded here as BACP. Prior to formal counselling roles she spent more than 15 years in helping roles that involved adults, children and young people.

Clients commonly come for help with stress, anxiety, grief, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges such as ADHD, addictions or compassion fatigue. She also lists support for eating, sleeping and career concerns and for those within LGBTQ+ and diverse cultural communities.

Lucy aims to build a collaborative relationship where clients set the goals. She invites prospective clients to discuss how best to work together and to think about whether her style feels like a good fit before committing to sessions.

How existential ideas shape online therapy

Existential therapy looks at the big questions people face - purpose, choice and meaning. In practice it helps someone name what matters most to them and make decisions that fit their values. This approach can be useful for people coping with life changes, grief, career crossroads or persistent dissatisfaction.

Humanistic work complements that by emphasising the person rather than a diagnosis. It focuses on a warm, respectful relationship where feelings and experiences are noticed and understood. Together these approaches aim to help people find clearer direction and steadier ways of living day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adapt methods collaboratively. That may mean trying different ways of working for a few sessions to see what fits.

Details about exact online session options are not specified here, so please confirm current formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments.
