Lucy Mpandawana

I have daytime and evening appointments available.

I work with a wide range of challenges, including relationship issues, workplace stress, addictions, anxiety and depression. I also have a special interest in supporting people through bereavement and other forms of loss.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches, with a particular focus on psychodynamic and humanistic therapy. This flexibility means we can shape our work together in a way that feels right for you. At times, we may explore how past experiences continue to influence your present. At others, we may focus more on current circumstances, relationships, and the changes that could help you feel calmer, stronger and better able to cope.

My aim is always to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore what matters most to you, at your own pace.

I offer therapy in a calm and welcoming setting, either in the therapy studio in my garden or online. My style is warm and down to earth, and I work in a genuine, empathetic and non-judgemental way.

Together we can explore the difficulties you are facing, reflect on where they may come from, and recognise the patterns that may be holding you back. My focus is on helping you feel heard, supported and more confident, while also finding practical ways to feel calmer and more in control.

Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and if you feel ready, I am here to support you as you take those first steps towards change.

Our first 30-minute conversation is free and gives you the chance to see whether you feel comfortable working with me. During this time, I will ask some questions about your background, what has brought you to therapy, and what you hope to gain. This also helps me consider whether I am the right person to support you.

If you decide you would like to continue, we can arrange your first session together.
