About Lucy
Lucy Castro is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next after a change in work, relationships or health. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Lucy uses a collaborative, person-centred style. She often brings short-term, solution-focused techniques into sessions to help people clarify what matters to them. Sessions look at practical next steps as well as the feelings that make decision-making hard.
People meet to talk about painful events, loss, or the emptiness that follows big changes. Conversations also cover communication problems, commitment worries, trust and infidelity, and patterns such as codependency or control issues. Lucy can help with concerns linked to chronic illness, caregiving stress, ageing, body image and isolation.
She works in a way that regularly checks progress. Goals are reviewed and the plan adjusted if needed. The focus is on small, manageable shifts rather than sudden overhauls, and on practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve clarity.
Lucy has worked with national and local charities and brings that experience into how she supports people. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, readers are invited to use the online booking flow and complete the short matching questionnaire.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lucy commonly uses person-centred methods and short-term, solution-focused techniques. Person-centred work involves listening closely to whatever you bring and following what matters to you; it helps when making sense of difficult feelings and deciding priorities. Solution-focused techniques look for practical steps and exceptions to current problems, useful for relieving overwhelm and testing small changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most helpful and adapt the methods as goals and needs evolve. That might mean shifting from practical, action-oriented tasks to deeper exploratory conversations over a few sessions.
Her biography notes she offers online sessions, though exact formats are not specified here. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors use these options to keep therapy practical and usable for day-to-day life.
