Availability

I have some current availability in my schedule to take on new clients and always respond to emails, so please feel free to reach out with any query about working together. You are most welcome to arrange a time for a complimentary initial phone call to discuss how I could meet your needs and to check mutual availability for a weekly session time that suits you. If I am unable to be of help for your specific requirements then I am happy to offer you some possible referrals to other therapists.  

About me and my therapy practice

Hello! Let me introduce myself, I'm Lucy. I hold a BSc (Hons) 1st class degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and have worked for the therapeutic agencies Choose Therapy and London Young Counselling. I have studied and trained in Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Cognitive-Behavioural and Existential therapies, and I utilise the scientifically researched theories of these to support my work as an Integrative Therapist. I believe that this style of working allows more nuance to meet each individual client. I aim to support you with an awareness of useful strategies for the present, alongside an awareness of how the past may exerting its influence. I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2019, but previously worked in an educational role with neurodivergence, so I keenly know that we all uniquely think, feel and perceive differently and all have a longing to understand ourselves and be understood by others. When we find ourselves in a moment in life where we feel overwhelmed, lost, stuck, anxious or depressed, that sense of longing for understanding (and relief) can be keenly felt within ourselves. Perhaps you have felt this way for a while or you are suddenly facing a transition in your life or an evaluation of your identity, purpose or relationships. Therapy is at heart, a relationship and a process that supports you to make sense of yourself and the world around you, and to find your way towards insight and healing. As a psychotherapist, I draw upon a range of therapeutic skills and creative strategies that can support you to explore your influences, beliefs and patterns, to consider what motivates your choices and feelings, to develop new communication and coping skills, to connect with yourself and enhance your sense of contentment, direction and power in your life.

Practice description

I see clients in person at my therapy room at 4 Devonshire Street, London W1W. Here I have limited availability and may have a waiting list for certain times. My in-person sessions are charged at the rate of £80 a session (to reflect hosting costs) but I offer a reduced rate for online video sessions of £60 per session and am able to offer a wider range of time slots for this service. It's important to me that people who seek it have access to therapy, so please enquire about concession rates if you feel that you may be eligible. 

Please contact me to discuss your unique needs and discuss what you are looking for in regard to working together in the short or longer term.

My first session

I offer a first session at a 25% discount. I feel this rate fairly acknowledges that you may like the opportunity to experience a session together to consider how you feel about working and building a therapeutic relationship together.


I know it can feel a bit daunting to speak to a therapist for the first time as it involves a sense of vulnerability. Let me reassure you that I will meet you with concern for your well-being and non-judgement of your experiences, and that our work will move at a pace that you are comfortable with.


Each therapy session is 50 minutes long (this is regarded as a standard therapeutic hour).
