Welcome to Lucy Clark counselling
Why I became a counsellor
I have always been deeply drawn to understanding people – their emotions, experiences, and the stories that shape them. Through my own life journey, I’ve come to appreciate the power of being truly heard and understood. This passion led me to train as a person-centred counsellor, where I now have the privilege of walking with others through their challenges.
Compassionate space
A safe, judgement-free space where you’re heard, understood, and supported on your healing journey.
Confidential & safe
Your privacy matters. Speak openly in a secure, confidential setting designed for your peace of mind.
Warm & authentic
Real, compassionate support that helps you feel truly seen, valued, and understood.
Personalised care
Therapy tailored to you—because your journey, challenges, and growth are uniquely yours.
A Safe and Compassionate Space for You
Warmth, empathy, and authenticity are at the heart of my practice. I offer a non-judgmental and confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly at your own pace. Life can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, or other challenges, I am here to walk alongside you.
I believe that you are the expert of your own life. Your needs will lead our sessions, moving at a pace that feels right for you. My role is not to direct or advise you but to support you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and developing the tools you need to live a more fulfilled life.

How much does a session cost?
Each session, whether conducted face-to-face or remotely, costs £45 for a 50 minute session. For more detailed information, please visit the “Sessions & Costs” page.
How do I schedule an appointment?
Booking an appointment is straightforward. You can contact me via email, text or WhatsApp to request an appointment and we will organise the most suitable day and time for you.
What can I expect during my first session?
Starting counselling can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to feel nervous or apprehensive. The first session is really about getting to know each other and making sure you feel safe, heard, and supported.
Here’s what usually happens:
A Gentle Introduction
We’ll begin by talking through what counselling is and how I work. I’ll explain things like confidentiality – what you share stays private, with a few legal exceptions that I’ll go over clearly.
Making a Plan Together
We’ll look at practical things like how often we’ll meet, how long sessions are, and what to do if you ever need to cancel or reschedule.
Your Story, in Your Time
You’ll have space to talk about what’s brought you here. There’s no pressure to go into everything straight away – we’ll go at your pace. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not yourself, this is your time to explore what matters to you.
Questions Are Welcome
You’re welcome to ask me anything about the counselling process, how I work, or anything else that helps you feel more comfortable.
This first session is also a chance for you to get a sense of whether I’m the right fit for you. A strong, trusting relationship is at the heart of the therapeutic process, and that starts with feeling safe and respected.
Are my sessions confidential?
Absolutely. Confidentiality is a fundamental part of my practice. Every session is conducted with the utmost discretion, ensuring that your personal information and the details you share are kept completely private. I adhere strictly to professional ethical guidelines and data protection regulations which means there are a few specific circumstances where I might need to breach confidentiality – for example, if I’m concerned that you or someone else is at serious risk of harm. I’ll always aim to talk this through with you first, whenever possible. We’ll cover this fully in our first session so you know exactly where you stand.
What types of issues do you help with?
I offer support for a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, and personal growth. Whether you’re dealing with everyday life pressures or more complex emotional struggles, I’m here to help you navigate through them with understanding and care.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for a compassionate space to explore your thoughts and emotions, therapy might be a great step for you. Many clients have found that engaging in regular sessions helps them gain clarity, build resilience, and foster personal growth. If you’re uncertain, please consider scheduling a free initial consultation to discuss how therapy can support you on your journey.
Do you offer concessionary rates?
Yes. I offer reduced-fee sessions for NHS workers, members of the emergency services, and people receiving benefits.
If this applies to you, feel free to reach out – I’ll be glad to discuss the options available.
