Hello. My name is Lucy. Welcome to my profile. I am a certified Complex Trauma (CCTP II) Integrative and Somatic Psychotherapist and Psychologist.  Throughout my work, I offer you a safe, empathic enviroment in which you can explore your difficulties. I make use of different tools in order to tailor my practice to suit individual needs I thus integrate aspects of Developmental Psychology, Neuropsychology, Health Psychology, NLP and Somatic principles in order to help you through your healing process. 

My therapeutic philosophy is shaped by the premise that all people have unique and individual needs. I therefore do not believe that one cap fits all. The theories that make up my therapeutic framework include trauma-based notions Person-centred Counseling, Psychodynamics therapy, and CBT based therapies such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy. I also have extensive training in Existential and Jungian therapies. 

Originating from my background as an Integrative Psychotherapist, I have gained much experience working in substance abuse residential services and CAMHS (Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services) as well as numerous other organizations. These have included domestic violence support services and women’s shelters. 

My work with children and young people as well as adults have given me a wider understanding, overview and knowledge of how a variety of issues interact with each other and the wider environment throughout different life stages.

I have also qualified as a coach. Within this role, I apply notions of Positive Psychology, Mindfulness,Existentialism, and Jungian Psychology.

By drawing from various therapeutic techniques, I am able to adapt my work to support people presenting with a variety of different struggles. 

I offer both short-term and long-term online counseling sessions which typically last 50 minutes each. I have experience in working on different online modalities such as live video, text, and telephone. I offer a Person-centred relationship to all my sessions in which I supply a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental environment in which you are invited to discuss your concerns as openly as possible.  I apply a life course approach to my work to enable me to acquire a more detailed picture of your developmental history. 

At the start of my first session with you, I establish a therapeutic contract that details what to expect from working together and that sets out the confidentiality issues and limitations. I also collaboratively set achievable and manageable goals with you to explore the issues that matter the most to you. I carry out assessment tools when appropriate and in accordance with your presenting difficulties and goals that we have set together .
