Black Joy

I know that stressful, overwhelming and difficult experiences are made even more challenging when you cannot find the words to describe them. That’s using creative therapeutic tools and ways to express and release and finding ways towards healing from experiences (past, present and future anxieties) allows you to make connections with your mind, body and soul.

Or, you also may just want to chat and that is absolutely fine too.

I offer a space where you will be heard, seen and listened to to try and make sense of the difficulties that you have been experiencing. Working creatively allows you an opportunity to express things that you hold deep within yourself and sometimes find challenging to communicate.

Together we can explore things connected to identity, culture, love and belonging. I look forward to hearing from you

Low cost therapy is available for BAME communities

Hi there, I’m Lucy

I am very passionate about the work that I do. I enjoy connecting with others using compassion, curiosity and creativity.

I offer a safe space where you will be seen, heard and understood. In the therapy space I will explore your passions, hopes and goals. We will take one step in your past exploring and reflecting your history, identity and culture.

Sometimes overwhelming thoughts, feelings and experiences feel like they are taking over your life. Whether it is from difficulties and traumatic experiences from the past or ongoing events in your present. These experiences can be difficult to face where we might hide, ignore, run from or freeze them out but they may be communicating something to you. I offer a space to sit in the discomfort and also to celebrate and welcome each and every part of you.

I love learning about what makes you different without holding any judgement.

Let's Meet
