Lucy Rooney, NCPS

Lucy Rooney is a counsellor who works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career challenges and depression. She presents a calm, respectful approach and aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She has three years of professional experience and communicates in English.

In sessions she focuses on listening carefully and adjusting her approach to what each person needs. She aims to create a space where someone can talk about loss, difficult events, career crossroads or strain in close relationships. Practical steps and small goals are used alongside talking to help people move forward.

She also addresses issues such as addiction, intimacy-related worries, sleeping problems and low self-esteem. Additional concerns Lucy helps people work through include attachment difficulties, body image, grief linked to cancer, and separation or divorce. She can also support discussions about control, guilt, forgiveness and compassion fatigue.

Lucy explains her methods plainly and works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She adapts the style of work depending on the person’s needs and preferences rather than applying a single fixed method. Progress is reviewed together and plans are changed if something is not helpful.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical methods that help people manage symptoms and make changes in daily life. For example, approaches that concentrate on talking through traumatic memories aim to help reduce distress linked to past events by working at a pace the person can tolerate. Other techniques that focus on behaviour and routine target problems like low mood, sleep disruption or addictive patterns by encouraging small, achievable changes and reviewing progress together.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the person what to try first, then adapt that plan if it is not helping. That collaborative way of working makes it easier to match methods to goals, whether the priority is improving relationships, managing grief, or rebuilding daily routines.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with registered or accredited professionals from different locations, which can be useful when specific expertise is needed or when scheduling across time zones.
