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 a counsellor, I work as an independent HR practitioner, including as a workplace mediator.  In the past I have been a volunteer CAB Advisor, and currently volunteer with CRUSE bereavement services and a hospice as a Counsellor.
