About me and my therapy practice

Hi, I’m Lucy a ÌÇÐĹÙÍø registered psychodynamic therapist based in Ridgewood, Uckfield. I see adults online and in-person in my peaceful garden room. Would you like to live in the moment, and not be held back by anxiety and stress. I work with adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger issues, work and family problems. I provide a supportive therapeutic space to work through difficulties. I'm taking on new clients, contact me about starting your journey.

How can I help you

Prior to training as a therapist my background was in science & cancer research. I am a logical, warm and engaging therapist. I help people struggling with anxiety, anger, grief and sadness allowing you to live your life with greater clarity and a deeper sense of understanding. I've helped clients with unexplained feelings of low mood, anxiety, depression, those that feel lost or stuck. Others have experienced anger, grief, family, work or relationship issues. By working through unique life histories, unconscious processes are uncovered & repeating patterns noticed, allowing one to let go of what is no longer serving them. Clients leave therapy with a deeper understanding of themselves their wants & needs and a stronger more robust sense of self. My aim is to equip clients with the skills to be their own therapist, by internalising my voice & what we’ve explored together. Looking at experiences from our childhood and how they impact us as adults, we can notice patterns in behaviours and gain control over them to help us feel more comfortable as we are today. I will be alongside you to support you on your journey, together we can make sense of what is going on for you today.

What happens next?

Choosing a therapist is a daunting process. It’s important to find the right one. I offer a free 30-min session either in person, online or via telephone. I'm 30 min drive from Brighton & Eastbourne, on a bus route, with parking.
