Lucy | Integrative Counsellor

Integrative Counselling Chester

Hi, I'm Lucy and I know how daunting this first step feels. I’ve sat in the counselling chair myself - feeling like I had to have all the 'right' words prepared just to justify why I was there...

Let me reassure you, I'm not expecting you to have the right words - not at all in fact. My job is to help you feel safe and comfortable to share what's on your mind, however messy or disjointed it may sound to you once it comes out, I will help you make sense of it and help you walk away feeling lighter. I'm not here to 'fix' you (because you're not broken!). I'm here to allow you the space to explore, talk freely and honestly and to go at your own pace. 

​

Overall I work integratively, which means I blend different forms of therapy (mainly person centred, psychodynamic and CBT) together, depending on what feels most helpful for you. We'll shape our sessions around what you need in a way that fits your aims, personality and where you are in your life. 

​

Perhaps you're struggling with:

​

• Overthinking & self-criticism 

• People-pleasing & setting boundaries

• Going through a life transition that you didn't expect or feeling lost in your identity

• Feeling emotionally disconnected or burnt-out

• Internal loneliness despite 'looking fine' on the outside

• Social anxiety and self-comparison

• Low self-esteem and communicating your needs in a relationship

​

If so, my relatable and calming approach helps individuals just like you to feel at ease, to get un-stuck, reconnect with yourself and find a sense of confidence and contentment.
