I am qualified in the U.K. with 8 years of professional experience. I have worked with clients through times of stress and anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, loneliness and grief. I have worked with individuals seeking to navigate changes in their lives, helping them to accept that, yes, the future is uncertain—but that’s okay. I do not judge my clients. I am here to listen, and to treat you with the respect and empathy that everyone deserves. I know that everyone is unique in their experiences and needs. During your sessions, we will work together to find the best way forward for you. Signing up for therapy can be the hardest step. I can’t wait to work with you as we move through your counselling journey together.

Lucy is great at listening without making me feel like I’m not being judged. She also asks the right questions that really make you think about things in a different way. Although I have only had 2 sessions with her, I feel very much comfortable and she is such a lovely person :)
