Hi, my name is Lucy, As a non-binary, neurodivergent and queer person I understand the barriers that those of us with identities or ways of life that are often discriminated against can face when seeking and engaging with therapy. I work with adults of all genders and sexualities and with relationship diversities including polyamory and other forms of CNM (consensual non-monogamy). My practice is neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ affirmative, sex worker allied and kink aware.

Hello. Are such experiences as depression, relational confusion within oneself and feeling lost and hopeless, what brings you here now, reading these words? Is it the feeling of anxiousness that’s always there, as if uninvited, that feels so overwhelming, almost paralysing? You may be experiencing an almost suffocating sense of panic, as yet another day demands your attention or a relationship that’s lost its meaning, whether with another or with yourself, leaving you feeling isolated, lost and alone.

I practice as a Creative Arts Therapist in person and online, based in Glasgow.

I specialise in working with LGBTQ+ seniors (over 50+) to explore concerns that come with ageing such as menopause, coming out in later life, retirement and self-esteem. I will see and hear you as a whole person living in a world of relationships.

My approach is collaborative, pro-active, and focused on making changes with you. Areas I can support you with include: personal identity, understanding and managing emotions, depression, anxiety, relationships, and trauma. I have extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual abuse of any gender, including those who are navigating the criminal justice system in England / Wales (pre-trial therapy).

There’s a first time for everything. Most newcomers to therapy start out feeling intimidated or downright put off by approaches which fail to understand the position and needs of those of us whose experience falls outside what it is to be white, cis, heterosexual, able-bodied and or neurotypical.  as rather mysterious process.
