About Lucy

Lucy Hill is a counsellor who aims to make seeking help easier for parents and carers. She presents a welcoming, non-judgmental approach and invites people to talk about the specific stresses they face. She values each person’s background and identity and offers space to explore practical ways forward.

Lucy uses an existential approach, which focuses on what matters most to the individual. Sessions look at choices, responsibilities, meaning and how everyday pressures affect wellbeing.

Background and approach

This helps with worries about parenting, relationships, grief and coping with life changes. Her background includes work in a variety of helping roles over more than 15 years. She also holds BACP accreditation, which is listed among her credentials.

She has experience supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds and those who identify as LGBTQ+ or neurodivergent. In a typical session Lucy listens without judging and helps people name the problems they want to change. She works with practical issues such as sleep, stress, anger and low mood, and longer term concerns including addiction, bipolar and compassion fatigue.

She can also support parenting challenges and intimacy-related worries. Lucy offers different ways to meet, including video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and can then arrange sessions according to the scheduling options available.

The format aims to fit around family life and other commitments.

Online support

Existential approaches and online counselling

Lucy uses existential therapy, which looks at the choices people make and what gives life meaning. It invites clients to consider responsibilities, values and the practical steps they can take when feeling stuck, and it can help with parenting stress, grief and life changes.

In sessions she brings a person-centred attitude alongside existential ideas. That means the conversation focuses on what matters to the individual and on finding ways forward that fit their daily life. Choosing the right approach is a shared process and she will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when schedules allow. Phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief reflections, follow-ups or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family routines, work and other commitments.
