About Lucy

You have a unique experience of the world around you, that is intrinsically linked to events that occur during your life. Whether you are suffering from complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or General Anxiety, there is always a reason why you feel isolated and overwhelmed. It’s my job to help guide you through the process of connecting your present with your past and enable you to reduce your symptoms and look at your difficulties in a new way.

My primary focus within my work is to develop and maintain a confidential, safe, therapeutic relationship. Since qualifying I have worked with a diverse range of people from schools, prisons, homes and workplaces to provide support and treatment for trauma and mental health issues of all kinds. Having worked with victims and witnesses involved in traffic accidents, childhood abuse, first responder tragedies and more, I understand that every individual has different needs and to ensure I deliver best treatment and best practice, I work within research and recommendations including NICE Guidance and World Health Organisation.

I am trained in Trauma focussed therapy as well as therapies such as Compassion Focussed Therapy and Narrative Exposure Therapy, with many years experience of working with people who often suffer with symptoms of trauma, dissociation and feelings of shame.  I have worked within the Berkshire Traumatic Stress Service and have been the PTSD lead at a local primary care IAPT service for many years.

I have worked in the NHS since 2010, working in a range of clinical settings including CAMHS, Primary and Secondary Care. In private practice I have a special  interest is in working with first responders (such as Fire and Rescue Services).
