Lucie Duckworth

Hi, my name is Lucie Duckworth. I'm a BACP registered therapist with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. My therapeutic style is very gentle and calm, we will always work at your pace in a space that is non-judgemental and supportive, I try to facilitate a space that hopefully feels supportive and safe. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I currently offer online or telephone sessions - I currently offer a 30 minute free session to see if I am the right fit for you.

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) I have an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy I work privately with adults of any age and I also work with children and young adults 11+ years. I am a passionate and committed therapist who continues to undertake available CPD training's and workshops to gain more knowledge and experience working in the counselling industry.

My area of specialism is working with trauma and the impact of trauma in the body. I have extensive knowledge and experience in a number of areas including, mental health issues, bereavement, substance abuse and alcoholism, addiction, personality disorders and PTSD/PTS.

Throughout my journey as a therapist I feel that I am fundamentally a person-centred therapist and this is the foundation of how I work. By offering unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruence to every client, I have also felt that as a therapist I have developed a more integrative style of therapy which allows me to offer what I consider to be person-centred in the way that I can meet a client exactly where they are at and offer what is considered by the client to be beneficial. I also believe that when I consider what is a ‘trauma informed approach' I feel that what this means to me as a therapist is that I consider the person rather than just the reason they are attending therapy. I believe that every person is the expert of their own story and that they have many strengths. I feel my role as a therapist is to assist in overcoming things that challenge a person from accessing this inner strength. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower a client in that journey.
