Lucy Sheils

I work online and in person with clients from all over the UK. Feel free to get in touch to discuss further.

Hello, I’m Lucy Sheils, I’m a qualified integrative psychotherapist. I believe that no two people are alike—neither should their therapy be. I work with all sexualities and gender identities. My approach brings together a variety of therapeutic techniques. I work with clients experiencing a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, sexuality, gender dysphoria, grief, trauma, and life transitions.            

My goal is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings while working collaboratively toward solutions that are right for you. I strive to meet you where you’re at, uncovering insights together in a way that feels supportive and empowering. No matter what emotions you’re experiencing, we can work together to explore, understand, and navigate them.

As a gay psychotherapist, I bring both personal experience and professional expertise to the therapeutic relationship. Having been on my own journey, I deeply understand how daunting the exploration of sexuality and / or gender can be, particularly in a world that doesn’t always offer the acceptance or understanding we deserve. 

The initial session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, explore what brought you to therapy, and determine if we’re a good fit for working together. There’s no fixed structure for this session, so we can focus on whatever feels important to you. This might include sharing what’s currently happening in your life and discussing some of your personal history. We’ll also have time to address any questions you may have about therapy in general or my approach in particular.
