My name is Lucy, and I'm an experienced Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. Whatever difficulties in your life have brought you to this page, I understand that sometimes life can be challenging, and at such times it can be hard to work things out alone.If you're struggling with your experiences or emotions, and feeling unable to cope, talking to a professional counsellor can really help you. As a recent client of mine expressed: "I am so thankful to you for being someone I could express myself freely to, often telling you things I had never said to anyone else. I came away from every session feeling positive and as if a weight had been lifted. I realised so much about myself as a person. The whole experience has changed my life and I will be forever grateful for what it has done for me." How can I help? I can you offer you a safe, comfortable and welcoming space to freely discuss and explore things that you may not feel able to do with family and friends. Perhaps your life taken a turn or direction you are not happy with, or you might have tough choices to make. Maybe you can’t quite put your finger on why you feel unhappy or dissatisfied, but you know that something’s not right. With support and at your pace we will explore your experiences, worries and emotions, enabling you to move your life forward. The benefits of counselling vary from person to person, but you may find: You gain a new clarity or self-understanding A growth in your self esteem You are able to process painful experiences or emotions Feelings of being stuck finally begin to shift Am I the right therapist for you? As a Humanistic counsellor, I believe that we all have the capacity for growth, healing and change within us – so my aim will be to help you find your own path.
