The Details
How it Works
Initial Consultation
The first session lasts around 60–75 minutes. It’s a gentle starting point where we take time to explore what’s been going on for you, what you’d like support with, and what you hope to gain from therapy.
I’ll also explain how I work and, where helpful, share a little about how the brain responds to things like stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, or other challenges — always at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Most importantly, the first session is a space for you to get a feel for how it is to work together, and to decide whether it feels like the right fit for you.
Sessions
Following the initial consultation, sessions are 60 minutes each.
Most people begin with weekly sessions, but the pace is entirely flexible — fortnightly or even monthly appointments are also welcome.
The number of sessions is guided by you and your goals. Many clients work with me for around 12 sessions, but this can be more or less — we’ll review progress together as we go, so you’re always in control of the pace and length of your therapy.
Cancellations
We kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session.
Cancellations between 24 and 48 hours will be charged at half the session fee, and cancellations within 24 hours will incur the full fee.
For block bookings, the same policy applies, and refunds are not available.
Thank you for helping keep this space safe and available for everyone.
Lucy without a doubt changed my life for the better. I’ve been working with Lucy for over two years now and every single session has taught me something new. I’ve developed tools and techniques that help me reduce stress and anxiety and build confidence. I was apprehensive going in but can easily say this was one of the best decisions of my life. Highly recommend working with Lucy. Tom P
