Hello, I’m Lucy, a dedicated therapeutic counsellor passionate about supporting individuals through life’s challenges and empowering them to achieve greater wellbeing. With a BSc in Psychology and a qualification in CPCAB Level 4 Therapeutic Counselling, I bring a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health and a compassionate, client-focused approach to every session.

My core therapeutic styles are person-centred and existential counselling, emphasising empathy, authenticity, and helping clients find meaning and direction in their lives. I also incorporate elements of Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into my practice, tailoring each session to the unique needs of my clients.

Areas of Expertise

I have experience working with a range of mental health concerns, including:

• Depression, anxiety, and panic disorders
• Stress management
• Self-harm, substance use, and suicide support

I also have a strong understanding of:

• Bereavement and loss
• Chronic pain and lifestyle challenges such as sleep, diet, and overall wellbeing

Additionally, I hold a Level 4 NHS Safeguarding Adults Certificate and am trained in mental health crisis support, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for clients facing acute difficulties.

My Approach

I have worked with clients across diverse settings and offer counselling in a variety of formats: face-to-face, telephone, and video conferencing, providing flexibility to suit your preferences. My experience extends to working with school-aged children (ages 5–10), supporting their emotional development and resilience.

Whatever challenges you’re facing, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll work towards understanding your goals and finding strategies to help you navigate life’s complexities.

Next Steps

If you’re ready to take the first step towards healing and growth, or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
