Dr Lucy Flitton is a UK-based psychologist and Complex Trauma Integrative and Somatic psychotherapist with 17 years of clinical experience. She combines deep trauma-informed knowledge with a broad evidence-informed toolkit to support adults, adolescents and children facing anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and a range of intimacy and identity issues. BACP indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and NCPS is listed as an additional professional counselling credential.

Her practice blends somatic and polyvagal-informed work to help people notice how emotions appear in the body, Internal Family Systems ideas to explore conflicting parts of the self, and existential and positive psychology perspectives to promote meaning and post-traumatic growth. She also draws on developmental psychology, neuropsychology, health psychology and her training as an NLP Master practitioner to look at how language, life course factors and societal context shape wellbeing.

Dr Flitton uses a client-centred, integrative approach tailored to each person’s story, selecting techniques and frameworks that fit the presenting issues. Her work aims to help people feel lighter and more grounded, develop practical skills for overwhelming emotions, set healthier boundaries and reconnect with a sense of hope and agency. She is also an author of articles and blogs on ACCPH, Substack, Medium and her private practice website.

Integrative approaches for online therapy and personal growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to clarify personal values so they can take meaningful actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions where getting unstuck matters.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection. It helps with relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and attachment issues by exploring relational patterns and building more secure ways of relating.

Dr. Flitton treats finding the right therapeutic approach as a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work unfolds so that therapy feels responsive and tailored.

Online therapy via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging expands flexibility and access, allowing people to engage from different locations and at times that suit their schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats for processing material and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life with greater convenience.
