About me
Hi, I'm Lucille. I understand that finding the right therapist can be a daunting task so I will keep this brief! I am a Humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor working in central Brighton and online. I integrate three modalities into my practice: Transactional Analysis, Person-Centred and Gestalt therapy. This means I am flexible in the way that I work and together we can find a style of therapy that works best for you.
I am able to help and support a range of challenges including anxiety, low mood, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, pregnancy and postpartum issues or just a general feeling of being stuck. As an experienced trauma-informed therapist, we will always go at your pace; these are your sessions and having your voice heard is the most important thing.
As an inclusive practitioner, I welcome working with difference and regularly attend training to ensure that my practice is anti-oppressive, anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirmative.
I offer a free 20 minute consultation either via video chat or a phone call. This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions and to see if we might be the right fit for working together. I offer time limited or open ended sessions depending on what feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from Metanoia Institute and am a registered member of the BACP and adhere to their ethical framework.
As a counsellor and groupworker I have worked extensively in post partum mental health and in supporting parents of older children with mental health issues. Most recently I have worked as a counsellor with survivors of domestic abuse at RISE.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
