Person-centred Counselling

Hi, I’m Lucy, a person-centred counsellor with over eight years’ experience supporting adults in health and social care settings. As a therapist, I’ve worked within NHS, Housing Association and specialist Domestic Abuse services. Alongside my private practice, I also work part-time within an NHS Bereavement Therapy Service.

I am registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy).

Type of Therapy offered

Person-Centred Counselling (Adults only)

Approach

I work in the person-centred approach. As the name suggests, this type of talking therapy is guided by you. You set the agenda, and you decide what you would like your sessions to focus on. I will listen to you without judgement, offering a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, and I will share my own reflections with you where I think this will be helpful.
This may sound daunting, but as a counsellor my role is to be with you, as a guide, along every step of the way. You may have a clear idea of what you would like to get from counselling. Or you may have only a vague feeling that you would like something to change. Either one is a valid starting point for therapy.

Who I work with

I offer counselling for adults (18+). As a therapist, I have specialist training and experience of supporting people affected by bereavement and loss, depression, trauma and abusive relationships. Other areas of professional interest for me include working with LGBTQ+ issues, interpersonal relationships and neurodiversity.

Further Information

Appointments are available on Mon, Weds or Fri at flexible times. I offer both face-to-face and remote sessions (phone/video call).

For new clients, I offer a free initial phone consultation of up to 30 minutes.
