Lucy Cherrington Counselling

There is no right or wrong reason to seek support. 

​

You might be navigating a specific difficulty, or struggling with past experiences that continue to affect your life. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed by responsibility, a new diagnosis, a loss... or maybe you are simply trying to understand yourself better.

​

Whatever your reasons for considering therapy, talking through thoughts and feelings in a supportive space can bring immense relief. Counselling meets a fundamental human need to feel seen, heard, and accepted. In fact, safe connection within a meaningful relationship is a basic requirement for human development.

 

In a world where everyday relationships can be complicated, confusing, or just incredibly busy, connecting with a counsellor who is 100% there for you will immediately feel different. Your nervous system responds to personal safety - it is an experience that can open space for more self-understanding and new pathways forward.

 

The foundation of my approach

As a psychotherapeutic counsellor with a practice rooted in a person-centred approach, my role is to listen, hold back from making assumptions, and help you gently process what is important to you. What we focus on is entirely led by you. Together, we create a relationship built on respect, acceptance, empathy, and genuineness. When it serves you, I can also offer different therapeutic lenses to help shed light on your past, present, and future choices. 

 

How we can work together:

• Safety to talk: I gently hold space for your pain and distress, allowing you to speak your mind with zero pressure or judgement.

• Somatic grounding: We can explore how your body holds onto distress and anxiety, and learn how to help you feel safer and more grounded. 

• Neural change: We can identify unhelpful patterns, build on your strengths, and create new neural pathways for lasting change in how you think and feel.

• Tailored methods: I blend evidence-based practices—including person-centred therapy, psychodynamic insights, CBT tools, and hypnotherapy—to match your unique rhythm and needs. 

 

Take the first step at your own pace

It is completely normal to feel cautious or hesitant about reaching out. To help you ease into the process, I offer a free, no-pressure 30-minute consultation. We can take it one step at a time to see if this feels right for you.
