Lucie Oliver

I am available for in person and online sessions and can offer daytime or evening appointments.

There is no single reason why people decide to engage with therapy. Perhaps there is a particular issue that you would like to address, or you may wish to explore patterns and ways of being that no longer serve you. You may feel overwhelmed by your emotions or even disconnected from them. Maybe you just need a confidential space, free from judgement where you can be heard as you process what is on your mind. Whatever brings you to counselling, I will work to understand what it is like to be you and support you as you deepen your self-awareness and consider changes you would like to make. 

My own experience in therapy has taught me the value of being truly seen and heard and how this promotes self-acceptance. From this, I have been able to evaluate how events in my life and the weight of expectation have influenced me and begin to forge my own path with greater confidence.

I have experience of working with the following: anger, anxiety, ASC, low self-esteem, bereavement/loss, depression, family/relationship issues, birth stories, illness, mid-life identity, ageing, stress, neuro-diversity, career challenges. I have had specialist training to work with with women who would like support with peri-menopause/menopause symptoms.

Where appropriate, I use sand tray as a therapeutic tool to help clients access or understand a presenting issue that is challenging to articulate.

I am a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), operate within their ethical framework. My practise is non-discriminatory, LGBTQI+ affirmative

I offer a free, 15 minute consultation (online or telephone) so that we can confidentially discuss your expectations of therapy and how we might work together.
