I qualified as a counsellor in 2007 and I'm currently a registered member of the BACP.
Since qualifying, I've worked consistently across various areas of counselling so I have a lot of experience of working with all different kinds of issues like relationship breakdown, family problems, bereavement, abuse, domestic violence, stress, anxiety, depression, eating related issues, work related issues, change management, loss, trauma, sexuality and addictions to name a few.
I'm an integrative counsellor which, in normal speak, just means that I combine different types of therapy to suit the varying needs of the different people that I work with, all of which I am trained in.
Overall I'm very client centred (I work with the issues you want to focus on) whilst remaining solution focussed and I'm generally just a very warm, non-judgemental and confident person.
My priority across the board, is to provide my clients with a confidential and effective environment in which they feel safe, comfortable and able to work through whatever it is that's causing problems in their life.
I provide long-term, short-term, and time limited therapy, this can be either via telephone or video calls.
Additional areas of focus: Stress, Anxiety, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Depression, Coaching, Compassion fatigue, Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Divorce and separation, Domestic violence, Drug and alcohol addiction, Eating and food-related issues, Emptiness, Infidelity, Isolation / loneliness, Money and financial issues, Smoking / vaping cessation, Women's issues, Workplace issues
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy

Lucy is absolutely amazing - she strikes the perfect balancing between listening and suggesting coping skills / advice. I’ve come away from our sessions feeling like I’m finally getting somewhere with my mental health.

Lucy is amazing. She totally "got" me within the first session and now working with her is much easier than I have experienced before in therapy

Very understanding and knowledgable. Never grumbles about my massive long messages :-) and always provides reassurance. Gives me a good insight into other ways of thinking.
