I currently have availability for online sessions.

Hello. I imagine you are here because you have a desire for change. Perhaps you have noticed a lack of joy, or general sense of flatness. A recent life change, or set-back, may feel difficult to digest, or you just feel stuck.

Searching for a therapist can feel confusing. It is important you find someone with whom you can be at ease, be yourself, and work through whatever issues you are facing. I hope I can be of service to you on your journey so please read on, and you are welcome to contact me for a short 15 - 20 minute phone or Zoom conversation free of charge if you have any questions.

I have a background and professional experience in personal development, which enhances what I bring as a therapist, drawing on a commitment to support others in their transformation for the last 20 years.

I bring a curiosity to what gets in the way of aliveness, joy and a sense of fulfilment. It has been my experience, via my own journey and by supporting others, that by delving into the depths to process and release what is held there, we create more space for joy and aliveness to emerge. In this way, therapy offers a space where our innate wisdom can be heard.

Modern life can feel fast and disorientating, leading us to adapt into ways of being based on survival. I aim to create a space where the deeper, subtler, sometimes dismissed parts of yourself may have time and space to be seen, heard and tended to, which invites expression again, with the ultimate goal of self-realisation.

I offer online sessions, allowing you to attend sessions from the comfort of your own space. I have observed that this can facilitate a deepening of the work as it reduces the ‘effort’ in getting to the session, allows for reflection time at the completion of each session, and many clients find it easier to fit a weekly session into a busy week.

Sessions employ various ways of bringing you more fully into awareness of the difficulties you are facing and enable you to tap into the unexpressed power and potential you possess, working with among other things, memory, imagination, visualisation, the body, art, and emotion. I work with what you bring trusting that you are the expert on your life. 

I am a transpersonal therapist, trained in Psychosynthesis - a grounded, practical approach that honours the full range of human experience. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, Psychosynthesis invites us to explore the whole of who you are: your thoughts and feelings, yes, but also your body, your imagination, your sense of meaning, and what you are reaching towards.

This work is deeply practical and rooted in what is real for you right now. We might work with what you bring into the room each week, explore patterns that keep repeating, or gently inquire into what lies beneath the surface. The pace is always yours.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, grief, a loss of direction, or simply a quiet sense that something isn't right, you don't need to have it figured out before you arrive. 

... and beyond ...

In your first session the focus will be us building a shared picture of you and your life. I will ask you a range of questions about you (childhood, family & friends, relationships, work, health, etc.) that help me place you and your need for therapy in a context. This will enable me to 'meet' you and serve as a starting point for the work that follows.

After this session if you would like to continue we can agree to another 5 sessions during which, holding your issue(s) in the foreground, we begin to explore how you navigate the world around you, respond to highs and lows, and make the choices you feel compelled to make. We review the work again around the sixth session and then (and at other regular intervals) you can decide if you wish to continue for a longer period of time, fixed or open ended.

I currently have availability for in-person sessions in Haywards Heath, and online therapy across the UK.

Perhaps something in your life doesn’t feel quite right at the moment. You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you’ve experienced a significant change, a setback or a loss of direction. Or maybe there is a quieter sense that something needs to shift, even if you can’t quite put your finger on what.

Sometimes we reach a point where the ways we’ve learned to manage life no longer feel enough. You might find yourself repeating familiar patterns, struggling with your emotions, or wondering how to move forward.

Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, make sense of what is happening and begin to understand yourself in a different way. A space where you don’t have to have everything figured out, or be anything other than yourself.

I’m Lucy, a qualified transpersonal therapist trained in Psychosynthesis. I offer a warm, thoughtful and collaborative approach, supporting you to explore not only the difficulties you’re experiencing, but also the deeper patterns, feelings and experiences that may be shaping your life.

I am interested in the relationship between mind and body, and how our experiences can be held not only in our thoughts and memories, but also in our physical responses and emotions. My approach is therefore somatic as well as reflective, making space to notice what is happening within you, at a pace that feels comfortable.

I believe that alongside understanding and working through what has been difficult, therapy can help you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have become overlooked or lost along the way. There can be more room for self-acceptance, possibility, vitality and a greater sense of being at home in yourself.

Finding the right therapist is important. I offer a free 15 minute introductory phone or Zoom conversation, giving us an opportunity to meet, talk about what brings you to therapy and see whether working together feels right.

My approach and what I can help with

I work from a Psychosynthesis perspective, a grounded and integrative approach that considers the whole person: thoughts, feelings, physical experiences, relationships, imagination and our sense of meaning and purpose.

Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, we can explore the experiences and patterns beneath them, including how you have learned to adapt, protect yourself and navigate the world around you.

Sessions are shaped around you and what you bring. Alongside talking, I may invite you to explore your experiences through awareness of the body, emotions, imagery, visualisation or creative approaches. There is no expectation to do anything that doesn’t feel right for you.

I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including:

  Anxiety, stress and overwhelm

  Low mood, depression and loss of motivation

  Grief, bereavement and loss

  Significant life changes and transitions

  Relationship and family difficulties

  Identity, self-esteem and self-worth

  Feeling stuck, disconnected or uncertain about the future

  Questions of meaning, direction and personal development

  Menopause and women’s experiences

  ADHD and neurodiversity-related experiences

  Work-related stress and burnout

  Trauma and the impact of past experiences

You may come with something specific you want to work through, or simply a feeling that something isn’t quite right. We can begin wherever you are.

I offer in-person therapy in a welcoming, comfortable therapy space in central Haywards Heath, as well as online sessions. Whether we meet face to face or online, I aim to offer a space where you feel listened to, respected and able to explore things at your own pace.

I bring curiosity, openness and a genuine interest in understanding each person’s individual experience. I don’t see therapy as something done to you, but as a collaborative process in which we work together to make sense of what is happening and explore what might become possible.

My first session and beyond...

The first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another and build a picture of what has brought you to therapy.

I’ll be interested in understanding something of your life, your relationships, your experiences and what you would like support with. You don’t need to prepare anything or know exactly what to say. We can take our time and begin wherever feels most helpful.

If we decide to continue working together, our sessions will be shaped around your needs and the things you want to explore. We might look at current difficulties, recurring patterns, earlier experiences or the ways you relate to yourself and others.

I believe it is important to regularly reflect on how the work is feeling and whether it continues to meet your needs. You remain an active part of that conversation, and we can agree together how long we work together.

You don’t have to have it figured out before you begin. Sometimes the first step is simply having somewhere to start.

I will also inquire further into, and challenge, beliefs and ideas you hold about yourself and the world, inviting you to share as much as you can of your mental, physical, and emotional experience as we go along. I strongly believe we are all a work in progress. This new and ever-expanding awareness is then the basis for deeper understanding and improved choice.

I provide a safe, respectful, honest, and non-judgemental space where you can freely share what has brought you to therapy, and through relationship rediscover your true self. Our sessions seek to gently illuminate the everyday patterns you may be moving in, to help you be more conscious of the impact you have, how you navigate the world, and what meaning you have made of what has happened, and is happening, to you.
