About Lucy

Lucy Peters is a counsellor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and practical for parents and caregivers. Lucy encourages people to take small steps and says the first move toward help is important.

She has around ten years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. Lucy previously worked in the UK and now practises from New Hampshire, bringing experience helping with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting worries. She also supports people dealing with anger, grief, intimacy-related issues and depression.

In sessions she listens without judgement and helps clients name what matters most to them. Conversations tend to focus on realistic strategies that fit everyday family life. This might involve looking at routines, communication habits, and practical ways to manage strong feelings.

Lucy also works with people concerned about sleep, eating, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She has additional focus on hearing-impaired clients, hoarding and specific phobias. Her approach aims to be collaborative and straightforward so parents can try new ways of dealing with stress at home.

If you decide to start, Lucy asks about your goals and what you need from therapy before planning sessions. She helps people set manageable steps and reviews progress so the work keeps fitting real life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Lucy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviours and then try small changes to improve mood and daily functioning; this can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Another approach focuses on processing distressing experiences in a paced way so people feel less overwhelmed by memories or strong emotions; this can be useful for trauma, grief and intense reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working. Decisions are made together so the plan fits day-to-day family life and personal comfort.

The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around caring responsibilities and busy days. Online options can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from different locations. Because the biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm the current online and in-person options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
