You might be feeling overwhelmed with stress, anxiety or depression and not know where to start. I’m Lucy, a BACP accredited therapist based in Uckfield. I see adults online and in-person in a peaceful garden room. I will work alongside you to help make sense of thoughts and worries.

I'm an experienced accredited therapist working with adults experiencing a range of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger issues, work, family and relationship problems. I provide a supportive therapeutic space to work through difficulties. Please contact me about starting your journey.

Prior to training as a therapist my background was in science & cancer research. I am a warm, logical, engaging therapist. I help people struggling with anxiety, anger, grief and sadness allowing you to live your life with greater clarity. 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?

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