First of all I would like to commend you for reaching out for guidance and support . Navigating and exploring your inner world in order to uncover the wisdom and true power we hold within ourselves can feel, at times, like a daunting prospect however with someone holding space in a non judgemental manner whilst you share your narrative, the path that helps us evolve beyond our current limitations can be truly liberating.
I am an Integrative Therapist, meaning I draw from many psychological disciplines in my work together with you. I am also a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner and Life Coach as well as a Clinical Supervisor and I have ten years experience of facilitating change in clients.
I would consider myself spiritually awake and aware and am conscious of the impact the outer world (macrocosm) is currently having on our inner world (microcosm) and daily lives.
I wish you success on your healing journey and please feel free to connect with me to discover if we would therapeutically align in co-constructing a more purposeful, fulfilling and empowered future for your good self.

Only two sessions in, but Lucy seems to hit a good balance between realist, mystic, and providing practical advice.

Brilliant and gifted therapist. So insightful and understands when to push and when to hold the psychological space. I couldn’t be more impressed by and grateful for her help. Highly recommended.

Before starting my BetterHelp experice I was worried about who I would be matched with and if I was going to have to go through a lot of them to find the right one. Fortunately, i was matched with Lucy who has been amazing from the start. Very understanding and a great listener. I was felt really comfortable talking to Lucy and her kind bubbly atertude made the experice very relaxing and less clinical which I worried about.
I spent almost a year conversing with Lucy and she's helped me so much a long my journey, I'm now at a place where I feel a lot better and don't need therapy anymore I couldn't have done it without Lucy. Couldn't recommend her enough!

I don’t have enough words in my vocabulary to express how grateful I am for Lucy’s beautiful professionalism and kind soul - she has helped me to work through some very deep routes traumas that I honestly didn’t realise were affecting me!
Over the course of 6 months working with Lucy I feel we have used the perfect combination of spiritual intuition and science based trauma techniques to enhance my wellbeing. I genuinely can’t recommend Lucy enough, I’ve been in therapy on and off my whole life and I think I’ve found a permanent therapist in her!
