Hi, I’m Lucinda. Thank you for visiting my website.
I specialise in working with women who have professional caring responsibilities for others (e.g. holistic therapists, social workers, healthcare/medical workers, teachers, etc) and are experiencing mental and emotional overload. If this is you, you may recognise the feeling that you have lost touch with who you are, don’t have time for yourself (and perhaps wouldn’t know what to do, if you did) and may be bordering on burn out.
It is well known that we can only be of help and service to others if we have the energy and emotional resources for ourselves first. And those who give so much of themselves to others doubly deserve to thrive in areas of their life beyond their job. Together, we will work towards emotional balance and personal change by helping you gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what motivates you. This information will help develop your personal sense of direction and and your capacity to make decisions that benefit you as well as your clients so that you are better able to manage the many roles you hold in your life.
Mind, body, heart and hands
As a creative arts therapist, my approach encourages you to go beyond thinking and talking, and explore and express yourself through your body, heart and hands, as well as your mind. Our thinking brains often hold a certain narrative about who we are and what we can and can’t change; when we pay attention to what our heart and body have to tell us, we usually discover new insights into how we think and feel, and meet the world. Working in this way will allow you to connect or re-connect with parts of yourself that may have got lost over time as well as discover parts that you may never have had an opportunity to know.
Naturally healing
My therapy space is the outdoors – in Views Wood and other locations in East Sussex. Nature is a system in harmony with itself and offers a restorative space in which I will help you to discover how to regain your own balance and sense of fulfilment, as well as be available to others.
My approach
I believe that:
– each of us has the power and wisdom within to heal ourself;
– there are times in all our lives when we can benefit from some external guidance and support;
– therapy works best when clients experience a warm, attentive therapist that gives them the time, space and agency they need to make the changes they want;
– working in nature and with a whole body approach offer a powerful and non-threatening way for clients to discover more about themselves, make changes and find parts of themselves that they really like and wish to honour.
