Lucy Flitton

My typical weekly schedule is Monday-Fiday between 9.00 am-7.30 pm. I  currently have availabilities, so do not hesitate to contact me should you want some information about how I can help you. 

If complex trauma has left you feeling frozen, disconnected from your body, or overwhelmed by survival responses — you're not alone, and gentle, embodied healing is within reach.

I am a psychologist and trauma psychotherapist. I work online with adults living with the effects of trauma, high vigilance and a disrupted sense of self.

That includes developmental and complex trauma, PTSD, abuse, and the ways those histories live in the body — freeze, overwhelm, a loss of safety or self-trust. I work somatically as well as with the story.

Some of the people I see are women in perimenopause or menopause, where a trauma-shaped nervous system meets a drop in capacity. That is one part of the work, not the whole practice.

Trauma often lingers in the nervous system as chronic tension, dissociation, hypervigilance, or exhaustion. My approach works directly with these patterns using somatic awareness, nervous system regulation (polyvagal-informed), titration, and pendulation — creating space to release held survival energy at a pace that feels safe to you.

I integrate body-centred methods with Jungian depth psychology, existential reflections, and creative expression when helpful. I thus work with women seeking depth-oriented, embodied recovery. 

Sessions are paced to your window of tolerance, building resources first before gently exploring sensations and symbolic layers. 

Our work is collaborative and non-pathologising. I work primarily with adults navigating developmental or relational trauma, betrayal, dissociation, and chronic overwhelm—online sessions available UK-wide Monday-Friday. 

A free initial 15-minute consultation is offered to explore if we're a good fit — no pressure, just a compassionate conversation.

I offer short-term and longer-term online counselling and psychotherapy sessions (typically 50 minutes). Sessions can take place via video or telephone.  

I provide a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I take a life-course approach to understand your developmental history and how it shapes your present difficulties. 

In the first session, we establish a therapeutic contract covering confidentiality and what to expect from our work together. 

We then collaboratively identify achievable goals and the issues that feel most pressing for you. Where helpful, I may use assessment tools tailored to your presenting concerns
