Lucie | Person Centred Counsellor
Person Centred Counselling St Leonards on sea
Maybe anxiety and depression have been part of your life for a long time and you are struggling to cope with it? Maybe you have bereavement, losses, trauma, past experiences to heal, or questions that never got answered? Maybe relationships and connections to the world around you are not how you would like them to be?
Bring whatever you need to and we can start from there. Everyone is unique, so in working with you I find whatever is the most effective way to help you move forward. I work with you to reflect on realisations to enable you to live a life with less distress, difficulty and pain, and to engage with the world and those around you in a more healthy and fulfilling way.
I am a person-centred integrative counsellor. What does that mean? At the core of my work and training is that I hold a safe, non judgemental, empowering space where we explore what you are going through.
'My only wish would be that I could spend an hour every week with Lucie. I feel so much better than when I first came to see her. She was completely on my wavelength'.
For many of my clients issues of loss of all kinds, rejection and low self-esteem are extremely painful and impact their lives, sometimes for many years. There are numerous individual reasons and causes for these feelings.
'I felt heard and validated which was completely nourishing and helped me to trust my own self and my intuition, something I have always struggled with. Working with Lucie was invigorating and has left me feeling positive and empowered'.
In private practice and at Counselling Plus I have worked with diverse clients from all backgrounds with many different issues.
Particular specialisations:
- Bereavement (current and historic) through work as a Bereavement counsellor at St Wilfrid's and St Michael's Hospice.
- Adoption. I am an independent adoption and fostering panel member plus I have lived experience of being an adoptive parent.
'My time with Lucie was truly beneficial. I would recommend her to anyone who requires counselling, especially if they are going through a time of depression or bereavement'.
I offer a 15 minute free phone chat to see if you feel you would like to work with me. It is crucial that you feel that a counsellor is a good 'fit' and on your wave length.

Online therapy
I believe that online therapy offers a safe and personal space in which the client can connect with the counsellor. This medium for counselling offers many people the opportunity to access counselling that may otherwise be difficult for a number of reasons such as lcation, access issues and anxiety. I do not believe it is less effective than face to face counselling as long as the client has a quiet, safe and private space they can access for their counselling sessions.I offer online counselling by Zoom, whatsapp video, messenger video.

Specialisations and Expertises
I experience many clients who come to me initially with Anxiety, for instance. There are many reasons for Anxiety. The Person Centred way of working is to work with the client and all they bring. Through the therapeutic relationship we explore whatever it is that your bring and are experiencing. Their is no one size fits all. So, if you are struggling and in distress, you don't need to know why when we start to work together. We will work through what you need to make life feel more safe and doable.I tailor the work to the unique client. It is client led. Therefore, we continue to discuss how the work is going and decide how and when to work together.
I offer long and short term counselling. I discuss with you my feelings about what I feel would benefit you. My focus is on the needs and safety of the client.
Most common issues I support people with:
Anxiety and depression caused by many issues. Some of these may be historic and deeply rooted and some may be current factorsRelationships within family and other.
