About me
Hi, I'm Lucy. I work with Millenials and Gen z's who are adult children of alcoholics. At the moment, it may not be the main part of your life you would want to discuss, but it could be an underlying factor in any current anxiety.
Being an adult child of an alcoholic can feel like or mean:
- Feeling guilty about everything and anything
- You struggle with confrontation or authority figures
- Overthinking a lot of different scenarios and catastrophising
- Suppressing memories or emotions but knowing you should talk about them
- Being incredibly confused about loving someone that's hurt you so much
- Having a very different experience/reaction to your sibling/siblings
- Being estranged
- Feeling like estrangement would be the best thing for you but you are worried, scared or it is not an option
- Struggle with self-worth because you have been abandoned (literally or figuratively) by your parent
- Anyone that lies to you is the worst thing they could ever do
- Trying so hard not to be like that parent that you've become anxious and a perfectionist
- You had to look after yourself a lot so you have become hyper-independent and struggle to say you need others or let others in
- You've walked on eggshells for years
By listening, learning about and understanding you I help guide you and gently challenge you.
We work on how you think and feel, and develop an awareness of this and how it impacts daily life.
I then help you build trust in yourself and help with practical tools/ideas to make changes you may want to make.
Process:
- Book a free 15 minute introductory call or email me to book a session
- Initial 50 minute session to get to know more and see if we will work well together
- 1 hour sessions thereafter for as long or as little as you like (weekly or fortnightly).
I understand that it can feel daunting and vulnerable to start therapy. With this in mind, I aim to create an environment that feels calm and gentle. I am also here to challenge and encourage, in a safe way, when it feels right to do so.
