About

lucy

 My name is  Lucy,

and I am a Certified Counsellor and Focusing-Oriented Therapist.

I am based in the UK. My love of Italy and of wild places takes me for parts of the year to the Appenine mountains.

I offer one-to-one therapy sessions all year round Online and by Phone, working with individuals worldwide who want to receive regular support over short and longer periods within a safe and confidential relationship from the comfort of their own home.

In my work as a Counsellor and Somatically trained therapist, I specialise in working with people who experience life sensitively and deeply.

The way I bring myself to my client work is underlined by my appreciation of the importance of meeting each person as a unique individual.

Underpinning my love of this work is my deep belief that the world needs sensitive people and the gift of that sensitivity.

Areas of special interest: High sensitivity. Trauma. Identity. Belonging.

My own story

As a child, I felt profoundly alienated by mainstream ways of thinking and relating.

As a young adult, I worked with a therapist who offered me a relationship in which my sensitive nature was honoured. This was life changing and created a desire in me to learn more about the different ways that people experience themselves and the world and to share with others this experience of being met with sensitivity and respect. I went on to develop my own practice as a holistic therapist, offering therapeutic bodywork, followed by years of training to become the Counsellor and somatic therapist that I am today. I discovered that my own sensitivity allows me to listen deeply and that, the more I listen to myself, the more deeply I can hear you.

There is a healing power in being met by someone who can hold you in your wholeness…just as you are.

If you are struggling in some way with the experience of being highly sensitive I can help you.

Befriending the body

There is a special place in my work for the relationship between sensitivity and trauma and the body.

I am somatically trained, which means that I trust in the healing process that gets set in motion when we invite a deeper awareness of how your body is holding your story. All parts of you will have a valued place in our sessions.

I offer an Initial 50 Minute Complimentary Consultation. 

This gives us an opportunity to meet each other and to explore what is bringing you here. Most essentially, you can use your highly attuned senses to discern whether you would feel comfortable doing this important work with me.
