Lucy Lewis

Lucy Lewis is a psychodynamic counsellor working in private practice at the Awareness Centre in Clapham. She has an advanced diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and is registered with the BACP.

Lucy provides a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where you will work together to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Lucy has a psychodynamic approach meaning she helps you to understand how your currents thoughts, feeling and behaviours are shaped by your past experiences and your unconscious mind and impulses. Working this way supports you to have an increased understanding of yourself and others.

With a background in Retail Management, Lucy has experience in workplace stress, anxiety and high pressured environments and how when we experience this. It can lead to other things in our lives being impacted in a negative way, and it may be hard to find the right balance. By having the space to discuss how you are feeling and being able to draw from my own experiences and training, together we can explore the how the challenges of life are affecting you now and if there are any patterns of previous behaviours and emotions.

Lucy also has experience of working with clients who have experienced sexual abuse and is aware how important having a space that feels safe, confidential and trustworthy is to someone who is opening up about the sexual abuse they have experienced. Starting the journey to open up about this can feel like it is something too difficult to speak about and that there Is no one that will understand and listen, having your own time and space to discuss your experiences you will work together at a pace that suits you.
