About me

Hello, I’m Lucy.

Life can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain of where to turn. I believe you are the true expert in your own life—yet even the most resilient among us can lose our footing. Therapy offers a dedicated, non-judgmental space to pause, untangle what is going on, and rediscover your way forward.


As a qualified counsellor and Senior Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner with extensive NHS (Talking Therapies / IAPT) experience, I offer a tailored approach. Working integratively means I don’t use a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, our sessions move at your pace, combining deep exploratory talking therapy with practical, evidence-based tools—such as guided Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)—to give you manageable coping strategies for day-to-day life.

Areas I can support you with include:
Anxiety, worry, and depression
Low self-esteem and building self-compassion
Relationship difficulties and family dynamics
Grief, bereavement, and life transitions
Trauma, Finding purpose or processing past experiences.

Taking that first step toward therapy can feel daunting. I offer a free 15–20 minute introductory phone call so we can discuss what brings you to therapy, explore how we might work together, and give you space to decide if I am the right fit for you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a BA in Counselling and have been practicing for the last 6years working in various services. 

I also hold a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner qualification level 7 (equivalent to a master's) which enables me to work with low-intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
