About us
Hi, I'm Lucy. I help Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA) break away from the exhausting cycle of control, people-pleasing, and hypervigilance - so they can learn to trust themselves, let people in without fear, and stop carrying a weight that was never theirs to hold.
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.
