Lucy Sanderson

I am a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist working with both adults and children from age 9 upwards.  I am warm and approachable and strive to provide a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential space for you to explore anything that you wish to talk about.  My core modality is person-centred; however, I am trained to integrate other psychological approaches into our work together.  This may mean the incorporation of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as the use of Creative and Symbolic strategies.  This is highly tailored to the individual needs of the client and/or presenting issues. 

Children and Young People

Are you a parent or guardian of a child who is struggling with their mental health? Adolescence is a particularly challenging part of growing up. Academic pressures, bullying, friendships, relationships, and identity issues are just a few areas which can contribute to poor mental health in teens.  I can offer help with the following issues: 

• Anxiety
• Self-harm
• Self-esteem
• Low mood/depression
• Eating difficulties
• Body image
• Gender and/or sexuality
• Anger 
• School Avoidance
• Grief
• Autism and ADHD

I also have extensive experience with neurodivergent conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, and I am hugely passionate about supporting these individuals in a neuro-affirming way.
