Sometimes things can feel overwhelming. Maybe you are feeling unsure of the way forward? You might have regrets about your past or worries about your future? I can help you develop trust in yourself, recognise your needs, and move onwards with self compassion.
Why come to me?
Welcome, I’m Lucie, thank you for visiting my page.
You may be seeking counselling for lots of different reasons, feeling anxious, have low mood, be struggling with loss and grief, suffering from stress, have lost touch with your sense of self, or you might just feel that something is off balance and want to explore those feelings. Maybe life hasn’t turned out how you imagined, and you want support to reflect on your past and look forward to your future with new hope. You don’t need to be at breaking point before reaching out for help. Making that first step to ask for support can feel overwhelming, you are not alone.
I am here to help you, give you the space to be heard and the chance to flourish. Working together at a pace you feel comfortable with, we can establish a relationship that helps you feel safe, share what is troubling you and increase your trust in yourself and your inner strength. I will walk alongside you during this exploration and unfolding. I am here to help you find your way home to yourself.
"While we are trying to make sense of things, may we learn to make peace with things." Morgan Harper Nichols
As a therapist I support clients through depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, relationship breakdown, affairs and betrayals, bereavement, anger, loneliness, stress, childhood trauma and abuse as well as questions around spirituality and finding purpose and passion in life.
