Lucy Freeman

Welcome to my profile.  I aim to provide a confidential, comfortable and trusting space where I help you explore issues that are distressing you.  With a background in HR, and conflict resolution, I understand the challenges that work can bring and how achieving a healthy work-life balance can be difficult.   If you are involved in facing change, whether that be at work, in your relationships, following a bereavement or other loss, we can focus together on identifying what really matters to you and how you can work towards your goals and aspirations whilst overcoming hurdles along the way, be they from your past or aspects of your self that are currently limiting your ability to become who you truly want to be.

As well as supporting clients whose life is impacted by work or vice versa, my life experience and training has drawn me to counselling for loss, for example when a loved one dies,  living with ill-heath, or coming to terms with a loss of independence in older age.

My approach is person-centred.  This means that you are at the heart of the therapy and the themes we explore are in your control.  My aim is to provide the environment in which we can develop a comfortable therapeutic relationship such that you are able to find solutions to your problems and to grow.

In addition to my work as an independent counsellor, I am currently an HR practitioner.  In the past I have worked as a CAB Advisor, with CRUSE bereavement services and as a hospice Counsellor.

Online and telephone counselling currently, face2face when Covid restrictions are lifted. 

I offer an initial session (charged at half the normal fee) during which I explain the way I work and we can together determine whether what I offer is what you are seeking. Appreciating that coming to therapy is an investment, it is important to me that you feel we are the right ‘fit’ and you have an opportunity to explore any questions you might have about what to expect.
