Lucy Nicolaysen, BACP

Lucy Nicolaysen focuses on creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust and confidence, believing that this connection can be a turning point in a person’s life. She sees the act of talking through distressing experiences as the spark for internal healing, and she provides a space where clients can explore what is troubling them in depth.

In sessions, Lucy encourages people to express how they feel and to describe both past and present experiences. This process often brings insight and understanding, and many clients notice a sense of relief as patterns of stuckness begin to ease. As people work through difficulties, their relationship with themselves often changes, contributing to progress along their life journey.

Issues that have come up in her work include conflicts in relationships and within families, remembering past trauma, panic attacks, self-hatred, fertility concerns, sexual abuse, feeling overwhelmed or hopeless, depression, grief, and loneliness. She supports clients through these and related challenges toward a sense of transformation.
