About Lucy
Lucy Peters NCPS has 10 years of counselling experience and is based in New Hampshire. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports those facing family and relationship concerns, parenting strains, anger, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.
She helps people who are struggling with sleep, eating concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes. ADHD, LGBT issues, hoarding, phobias and hearing-impaired clients are also listed as focus areas. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted.
Lucy aims to make the counselling conversation straightforward and practical. She encourages open dialogue about thoughts and feelings and emphasises respectful, non-judgemental listening. The first meeting typically looks at immediate concerns and what the person hopes to change.
Across later sessions she works with clients to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try different ways of responding. That can include talking through reactions, practising new skills between sessions, and pacing discussions about difficult experiences. Progress is checked regularly so goals can be updated.
Her approach is presented as evidence-based therapeutic techniques described in clear terms during sessions. People are given concrete steps to try at home and encouraged to let the counsellor know what helps and what does not. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting through the online options button.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online counselling
Lucy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques described in accessible terms during sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people notice patterns and try different ways of thinking. Another approach involves step-by-step skills practice to manage strong emotions and reactions, which can help with anger, panic or sleep problems.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and together they decide which techniques suit the person’s needs, goals and day-to-day life. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can be changed if needed.
Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work, study or family commitments and avoiding travel time. Different session formats and timings may suit different people, so confirm current session options before booking. The emphasis is on making counselling manageable alongside everyday responsibilities rather than on a single prescribed format.
