My practice is currently full and I'm unable to take on any new clients at this point in time. 

UNDERSTAND ~ OVERCOME ~ GROW

Hi, I’m Lucy.

I’m a fully qualified and experienced counsellor, based in Stroud, Gloucestershire.

In my role, I have the privilege of helping people gain understanding about themselves, overcoming something and growing as an individual through the counselling process.

I am a psychodynamic counsellor and fundamentally believe that everyone is unique. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental safe space from which we can explore your uniqueness, your relationships, experiences and situation together.

I am deeply committed to helping people understand themselves, find meaning and live a more enriched life.

I work from a start point of trust, authenticity, respect, compassion and a belief that everyone holds their own answers inside of themselves – my job is to help you find yours. 

If you would like to learn more about my approach to counselling, and what working together might be like, please contact me.

Psychodynamic counselling is an in-depth form of talking therapy, focussed on building insight into relationships you have with yourself, with others, and with the world around you. 

A psychodynamic approach aims to help you understand how your current feelings and behaviour are shaped by your past experiences and your unconscious mind. This can help you understand what you’re feeling now, why you behave in a certain way and how this affects your relationships.

My role as your counsellor is to support you as you think about yourself, your experiences, your relationships, feelings and behaviours. It is therefore important that you find a counsellor that you feel safe and comfortable working with.

This is why I offer a no-obligation two-step consultation process:

Initial phone call and consultation

20 MINUTES: £0

During this initial phone call, we can explore your situation, your goals for counselling, and what it might be like to work together. Should you wish to, we would agree a mutually convenient time and day to meet for a further consultation and assessment session.

Consultation and assessment session

50 MINUTES: £50

The consultation and assessment session provides a space for us to get more of a feel for one another, to explore in more detail what is bringing you to counselling and your situation, and to answer any questions you have. 

If we then decide to work together, we will meet weekly on an agreed day and time every week. Counselling sessions last 50 minutes, and cost £50.

Counselling is a joint endeavour. As such I regularly encourage us to review our work together, and reflect on your goals, to ensure that our work is meeting your needs.
