About Lucy
Welcome to My Practice
I am a UK-trained and BACP-registered therapist with almost 20 years of experience. Over this time I have worked in a women’s counselling service, in addiction services, as a school counsellor, and closely with the NHS, as well as in private practice for the past five years.
I have worked with people facing a wide range of challenges, including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, stress, addiction, intrusive thoughts, suicidal ideation, self-harm, paranoia, and fear.
I work in an integrative way, drawing on different approaches depending on what will be most helpful.
Central to my approach is collaboration. I listen closely, and if and when it feels right for you, I can also share feedback and reflections. Together we can find a pace and style that feels right for you.
Ongoing learning is central to who I am. I enjoy continuing to study, reflect, and grow, both personally and in my work with clients. I attend monthly supervision to reflect on my practice and ensure I continue to offer the highest standard of care.
I hold a Higher National Diploma (Level 5) in Counselling Theory and Practice, and I have built on this with university modules in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I am also currently exploring Transactional Analysis (TA) theory and practice, and I am deeply fascinated by existential thought and crisis.
I am married with three children and have lived in Vietnam for the past three years, while continuing to run my private practice in the UK. Outside of my work, I enjoy travelling, crochet, good coffee, and keeping active through Pilates and spin classes.

Our work together will be a collaborative effort, focused on addressing your concerns and empowering you to find your own solutions. In our sessions, you can expect:

Taking the first step towards seeking help is a significant accomplishment. By acknowledging your need for support, you've already begun your journey towards well-being. Talking to a professional counsellor can equip you with valuable tools and coping mechanisms to manage life's challenges and move forward with renewed strength and confidence.
