Lucy Castro

Lucy Castro is a counsellor with 11 years of experience who offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. She welcomes adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of their next step and supports people as they name what matters to them.

Her work is collaborative and person-centred. She often uses short-term, solution-focused ideas to help people clarify goals and take small steps forward. Sessions can be used to process painful events or to make sense of where life currently is.

Lucy pays attention to what matters to each person and reviews progress together as therapy continues. She adjusts the approach if something is not working and keeps the pace guided by the client. Her manner is straightforward and grounded, with an emphasis on practical change as well as understanding.

She has supported people with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, emotional burnout and general life direction. Her background includes roles with national and local charities, where she worked with a range of life experiences and needs.

Lucy lists Women's issues among her focus areas and also works with concerns such as stress, relationships, trauma and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients, with both online and in-person options noted in her biography.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Lucy works in a person-centred way and often brings short-term, solution-focused ideas into sessions. Person-centred work focuses on listening and following what the client brings, helping them feel understood and guiding self-directed insight. Short-term, solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals to help people move forward from feeling stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits your needs, goals and preferences and will review progress together to adjust the plan where needed.

The biography indicates she offers online sessions alongside in-person work, but it does not list specific online formats. Please confirm which online formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow appointments from different locations. They also make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins or to choose sessions that suit daily routines, helping therapy fit around work, family and other commitments.
