I’m Lucy, a warm, down-to-earth counsellor offering a space where you can talk freely, feel understood, and start to reconnect with yourself.
I work with people navigating life’s messier, more tender moments; whether that’s anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, grief, identity struggles, or just a sense of feeling lost or stuck.
I'm trained in person-centred counselling, which means I offer a non-judgemental, supportive relationship at the heart of our work together. I also work integratively blending different approaches to shape therapy around you and what you need most.
I welcome clients of all ages over 18, and I’m particularly passionate about working with people in their 20s and 30s, those juggling pressure to “have it all figured out,” quietly carrying emotional weight, or comparing themselves to others.
As a younger counsellor and a parent myself, I bring lived empathy, emotional insight, and a gentle but honest approach, with a little humour when it helps. We'll go at your pace, your way.
I’m trauma-informed and committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where all parts of you are welcome.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
