Lucy Beavon

Hello, I’m Lucy, a psychodynamic counsellor/therapist and founder of Live Beyond Counselling and Psychotherapy. I offer sessions face to face in Chelmsford, Essex but can also work online.

I believe in therapy as a space for deep reflection and growth, working together to uncover how unconscious patterns and early life experiences shape your present-day thoughts, emotions, and relationships. My aim is to support you in moving beyond past wounds and rediscovering a more fulfilling, grounded life.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or as though your past keeps repeating itself, I would be pleased to offer you a space where you can be heard and understood, and where we can begin to explore a path beyond those patterns.

I work with adults and adolescents (14+ years old) who are experiencing a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, issues of identity, self-esteem, stress, as well as relationship or life-transition challenges.

Whether your struggle feels overwhelming, confusing or persistent, psychotherapy can help you explore what may lie beneath those feelings and find new ways forward, in a safe and non-judgemental space.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-led. In sessions we go at a pace that feels right for you, exploring both the conscious and unconscious material, reflecting together on how your inner world connects to your current life. Over time, clients find this exploration leads to deeper self-understanding, more compassionate self-relating, and healthier relationships, not just short-term relief, but lasting, meaningful change.

I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation so that I can hear a little more about what is bringing you to therapy and for us to get a sense of how we would work together. Following this consultation, if it feels like the right fit we can organise your first full session.

In our first session I will ask you some questions about your past to try and build a better picture of what is going on for you. This will be our starting point where we will also think about your goals for therapy and what we can work towards.
