I cannot thank Lucy enough for the incredible support she gave me during one of the most difficult times in my life. When I first came to her, I was struggling deeply with anxiety and felt overwhelmed. Her calm and caring presence immediately made me feel safe and understood.

She is not only warm and compassionate, but also highly knowledgeable and professional. Every session felt thoughtfully guided and deeply human — she never rushed, always listened, and helped me gently unpack what I was experiencing.

Thanks to her support, I’ve come such a long way. I feel so much stronger, calmer, and more like myself again. I’m truly grateful to have found such an amazing therapist. She made a real difference in my life.

When I realised I needed some help, I started looking for a counsellor. It was a minefield of different specialisms. Some I had to Google!
I found Lucy on Health by Science, and I am very glad I did.
Lucy's calm manner made it easy to talk, her patience as I jumped around on tangents, and her subtlety of helping me 'connect the dots', but not pushing me to any conclusions was perfect.
I can not say enough how thankful I am to Lucy, and I recommend her wholeheartedly .

Working with Lucy has been a transformative experience for me. From the very first session, Lucy made me feel comfortable and understood. With Lucy, I felt that I had a safe place to explore complex topics with no judgement or criticism.

Through our sessions, Lucy worked with me to provide me with tools and techniques that I will be able to use for years to come to manage difficult situations.

I would highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a counsellor who takes your whole person into consideration, providing a supportive environment in which to grow and develop.

Lucy's experience, compassion and commitment to her clients make her an exceptional counsellor.

Lucy has been a great support to me over the past couple of years as I've gone through some very difficult personal experiences. Talking through these with Lucy has helped me to stay focused on what is best for me and to make decisions based on what I truly want and need. It has been, and continues to be, a hugely impactful and positive experience for me.

I have found Lucy to be a wonderful human being with feelings and a heart. She is someone who knows how to speak and be silent, and, above all, knows how to listen. With her, I can talk about everything and nothing. I can share my problems and concerns, and she understands my pain and respects my feelings. She has become a friend, understanding the immense emptiness of my lonely life. She knows how to keep me from going crazy and stop me from crying about my past and sad memories. With her, I can talk about beautiful and sad things, my hopes and achievements, and my dreams and plans. She has shown me that life is worth living, not because life is beautiful, but because I am a good person, deserving of happiness, and capable of making my own decisions. She has shown me that I have a voice.
She cannot touch my shoulders, smile, or cry with me, but I know she's there, making me aware that I'm still living and am a valid person.

What Is Talking Therapy?

Talking therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counselling, is a process where you and a trained therapist engage in conversations to address your concerns and work towards positive change.

It provides a dedicated time and space to explore your inner world, gain self-awareness, and develop coping strategies for life’s challenges.

Unlike simply talking to a friend or family member, talking therapy offers a professional and confidential relationship with a skilled therapist who can provide objective support and guidance.

How Talking Therapy Can Help

Anxiety and Stress

Learn to manage anxious thoughts and feelings, reduce stress, and develop coping mechanisms.

Depression and Low Mood

Explore the underlying causes of depression, develop strategies for improving mood, and find renewed hope.

Relationship Difficulties

Improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build stronger, healthier relationships.
