Ailsa Lucas

I currently have space to take on new clients on Wednesdays at 11am and Thursdays at 11am.

I work with people online, on a weekly basis, at the same time each week.

My main office hours are 9am to 3.30pm Tuesday to Thursday.

Whatever it is that is going on for you, it can make a profound difference to have someone there who is able to understand how that is, and what you are needing, at a very deep level. Someone you trust, someone you feel safe with, someone who accepts even the things you find hardest to accept about yourself, someone who can truly be alongside you in whatever you are experiencing, someone who can work with you to find your own ways forward from there.

In my practice as a therapist, I see building that kind of relationship to be one of the most important things I offer. If you work with me, it will be the foundation for all the other therapeutic work we do. Your therapy with me will be a place where you can be just as you are, and bring whatever is important for you to bring.

Whatever is impacting your quality of life, we will work together to tailor the therapy to your needs. I work in an intuitive way, grounded in both the depth of my therapeutic experience and my understanding of and sensitivity to you. That is likely to include helping you to get to know and accept yourself more deeply, and to build safety with your somatic and emotional experience, as I see those things to be fundamental to all deep and lasting healing, change and personal growth.

Central trainings

My primary therapeutic training is a Diploma in Counselling with the University of the West of England (2000). This emphasised how crucial the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is to the therapy and drew on person-centred and psychodynamic approaches.

My understanding for what supports therapeutic change and life-enhancing relationship has deepened over the years, through wide-ranging experience, trainings and private study. That includes in-depth Professional Training in running movement-based therapeutic groups with the School of Movement Medicine (2018). This supports me in working in a trauma informed way at the somatic and emotional levels I see as key to effective therapy.

I work with people with a very wide range of needs.

I offer both help with specific challenges, and longer-term therapy, supporting people to meet whatever life brings, or work towards deeper healing, change and personal growth.

Areas of special interest

Relationships

• I support individuals with their relationships, especially where couples therapy isn’t an option.
• That includes romantic, sexual, platonic and family relationships, and both conventional and less conventional relationships.
• I work with people facing relationship challenges, crises, conflicts, fears, uncertainties, transitions and endings.
• I work with people already in intimate relationship, and those wanting to bring intimate relationship into their lives, helping them work towards the kind of relationship they want.
• I support people in managing difficult feelings and reactions and in changing relationship patterns.
• I help people bring healing to the past relationships and experiences that still affect them.
• I help people become more aware of what they feel, need and want, clarify their boundaries, and find new ways to be and communicate with others.
• I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for people to bring issues related to sexual intimacy.

Deep self-acceptance

• I help people move towards acceptance of the parts of themselves they find hardest to love and accept. Those they feel ashamed of, fear, hide, or judge. Those they fear others will not love. Those they fear rejection for.
• Even where change is important to them, I see that unfolding most effectively from the safe ground of acceptance of who and where they currently are.
• I help people recognise the needs behind the feelings and reactions they find hard to accept and find positive ways to express and meet those needs.
• I help people in getting to know themselves better, being kinder to themselves and finding peace with who they are.
• I help people develop trust in their actual responses and be more true to themselves.

I offer a free introductory session of around one hour.

This gives you the chance to get a good feel for me and my approach, and for whether I could be the right therapist for you.

This session includes space for you to begin to talk about what is bringing you to therapy, and what you are wanting from it. If you are then feeling that working with me might meet what you are needing, I ask you some questions. These help us get clearer still and give me the background information I need if we do go on to work together. We can then look at how we might work together, and where you wish to go from there.

If you do decide to go ahead, I am likely to suggest you begin with a series of six sessions. I work with people on a weekly basis. Each session is fifty minutes long and is usually at the same time each week. Towards the end of this series of sessions, we make space to reflect on your experience of therapy, what you then then need, and whether you wish to continue.

If you would like to look further at the possibility of therapy with me, please do be in touch.
