Lucy Gardner
Support for stress, grief and life changes
About Lucy
Lucy Gardner helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She supports those coping with trauma, addiction, self-harm and relationship or intimacy issues. She also works with concerns such as sleep and eating problems, low self-esteem, anger, and career or life transitions.
Lucy holds the NCPS credential and practises from the United Kingdom. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She aims to listen first and then tailor conversations to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, alongside reflective talk to understand what matters most to them. Lucy draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods and Client-Centred work to shape sessions. She also uses mindfulness and existential ideas when they fit a person’s goals.
These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify values and try small changes that build over time. She has four years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, autism and obsessive patterns. That experience informs how she adapts pace and language to suit different needs.
Lucy welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English. Getting started is described as straightforward. People complete a short matching questionnaire, choose a suitable session format, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
Lucy explains options clearly and helps people find an approach that fits their life and goals.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It’s often used for anxiety, stress and problems where avoidance keeps someone stuck. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and giving the person space to find their own solutions; it can help with low self-esteem, life direction and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more natural conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging suit short check-ins, reflective journalling or support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel, and make it simpler to keep momentum between appointments.
