About me
Hello and welcome to my profile. My name is Lucy and I offer a friendly, warm and professional counselling service to emotionally support you to explore your feelings, emotions and awareness which can enable growth and change.
I provide counselling in a safe, confidential, discreet and non judgmental space. My aim is for us to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel secure and supported. I will work with you to explore your thoughts, feelings and responses and enable you to realise your own inner resources and acquire a deeper understanding of yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully trained Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a registered member of BACP.
I have worked in public service for most of my career, in the Police, Fire service, NHS and more recently within a Domestic Abuse organisation.
I am an Imago therapist which is a model used with couples therapy.
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.

Further information
I work with individuals and couples.
I am experienced working with clients with relationships issues, anxiety, stress, depression, grief, domestic abuse, breakdown in family relations and many other issues.
Couples
When working with couples I use the Imago therapy method. This method is based on safety and connection. Its all about you talking to each other with me as the facilitator. I show you how to do this so that you can build on the positives, feel connected, feel heard and get the love you want.
Individuals
I provide counselling in a safe, discreet, confidential and non-judgemental space. My aim is for us to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel secure and supported. I will work with you to explore your thoughts, feelings and responses and enable you to realise your own inner resources and acquire a deeper understanding of yourself and your problems.
