About me
Hi, I’m Lucy. I offer a safe and trusted space to talk about what’s on your mind. I specialise in family dynamics, parenting, unhealthy relationships / friendships and issues arising from the online world; be that anxiety, low self esteem, online bullying or otherwise. I am a trauma informed practitioner and I offer online and in person sessions to both adults and young people who need a space to be heard without judgement.
My approach.
I believe in an approach that puts you at the heart of the work, meaning that no two sessions are the same. I work integratively which means using counselling techniques bespoke to you and your needs, empowering you to identify and explore at a pace that works for you.
About me
Alongside Counselling I also work in online safety and wellbeing. Having worked extensively in this area for many years this helps to inform my practice alongside my training and CPD work in areas such as narcissism, online bullying and trauma informed practice.
I believe firmly in the connection between client and therapist. What matters most is you find a space that works for you and a therapist that allows you to feel heard.
