About Lucy

Lucy Peters is an NCPS credentialed counsellor working from New Hampshire with ten years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strains, grief and changes in life. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and issues with eating, sleeping and self-esteem.

Her work is plain and direct. She listens to what is happening now and asks practical questions about patterns that keep repeating. Sessions focus on understanding triggers, noticing thoughts and bodily reactions, and trying small changes that can reduce snaps and resentments.

Peters offers a steady, goal-oriented approach. She encourages people to practise new ways of responding between sessions. That may include short exercises to calm the body, communication skills to use in tense moments, or steps to rebuild trust after arguments.

She is experienced supporting people with ADHD, intimacy-related concerns, phobias, hoarding behaviours and needs of the hearing impaired. Her background includes work with LGBT clients and those coping with major life transitions.

Practical steps are emphasised over labels. Clients are invited to set clear priorities for what they want to change. The focus is on what can be tried now, and how to measure whether those steps reduce daily frustration and improve relationships.

How sessions work

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work

Lucy Peters uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and short exercises. One approach involves learning to identify triggers and bodily signals that precede anger, then practising simple grounding and breathing strategies to reduce intensity. This helps with snapping responses and physical tension.

A second approach focuses on communication skills and behavioural experiments. That involves rehearsing phrases, setting boundaries, and trying small changes in day-to-day interactions to see what shifts. It is useful for relationship strain, parenting difficulties and rebuilding trust after arguments.

Finding the right way of working is collaborative. She will discuss what feels manageable and adapt techniques to a person’s goals and life demands. Together they pick techniques to try and agree how to measure progress so adjustments can be made over time.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats need less bandwidth or work well without video, which can be helpful for quieter check-ins or brief coaching-style conversations.
