Lucy Whittome

I have experience of working across a range of issues such as loss and bereavement, anxiety and depression, trauma, self-harm and suicide ideation, low self-esteem, relationship issues, sexual identity, neurodiversity and BPD. 

I have a special interest in working with trauma. I have personal experience of trauma, loss and bereavement which I believe gives me understanding of how you are feeling and enables me to sit with you with the pain of it. I know how overwhelming it is to function in a new world which is dramatically altered.

I offer a confidential, safe, and non-judgmental space for you to begin to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions about any issues you are experiencing. You will be free to talk about whatever is troubling you. I will listen and support you, and I will not judge you or tell you how to lead your life. We will work at your pace towards the goals you would like to focus on. 

You will hopefully gain more understanding about yourself, your situation, and the way you relate to others by exploring your process. I will suggest techniques or interventions which will hopefully enable you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and I will encourage you to find your own solutions.

You are unique and so I offer counselling which suits your needs. I understand that you may not know what help you need or who to talk to. I therefore offer a free initial 20 minute telephone conversation to help you decide if you would like to try therapy sessions with me. If you would like to get in touch, you can text or email me. I aim to respond within 24 hours.
