Is this you?
You might be here because:
🍃 Your life feels driven by expectations, both your own and others’
🍃 You criticise yourself and rarely feel confident in the choices you make
🍃 You analyse and try to second-guess everything
🍃 You struggle to trust yourself and sometimes look to others for wisdom and direction
🍃 You feel disconnected from your own needs and your sense of self
🍃 You are often anxious and unable to switch off your thoughts
🍃 You feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities and the pressures of daily life
🍃 You feel lost and disconnected from your body, emotions and intuition
On the outside, you may look like you’re coping, even thriving. But inside, it feels very different. You want to feel calmer, confident and more self-directed but despite all your efforts, you don’t know how.
What you may be longing for:
🍃 relief from your anxiety, emotional turmoil and busy thoughts
🍃 to feel more at home and comfortable in your own skin
🍃 to be able to trust yourself more, speak up for your needs and honour your inner voice
🍃 less self-criticism and self-doubt
🍃 a deeper connection with your emotions and your body
🍃 a way of living that feels authentic and aligned
How I Can Help
The patterns of thinking, feeling and acting that feel challenging are often your mind and body’s intelligent survival strategies, shaped by your life experiences. Inner conflict arises when important parts of who you are come into tension with other parts that developed to keep you emotionally—and sometimes physically—safe in your family, school, community or broader society. Living in today’s fast-paced, high-pressure world adds another layer of stress, making it harder to listen to yourself, slow down and find space to simply be.
We all hold the potential for change, healing and growth. Sometimes we need a compassionate guide to walk alongside us as we explore what’s troubling us, reconnect with our inner wisdom and find our way towards self-trust and belonging.
My Approach
My approach is embodied and trauma-informed. It listens to your body, honours your pace and supports your nervous system (the internal system that drives many of your thoughts, feeling and behaviours) to find more safety, conviction and ‘wellness’.
Through this work you will:
gain an understanding of what is happening in your nervous system and how the strategies it has developed are keeping you stuck in self-criticism, overwhelm and anxiety
be supported to identify and release unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving
work with your body, emotions, creativity and intuition to connect with who you really are and what is most meaningful for you
come to know and integrate parts of yourself that have been overlooked or hidden but help to make you whole
find yourself making choices that feel more aligned with you who are - and no longer doubting if they are right
I often begin with Integrated Eye Movement Therapy which can help rapidly release stuck negative thoughts, feelings and identity patterns, creating space for a renewed sense of self. I then draw on metaphor, movement, mindfulness and creative practices to support the process of exploration and renewal. These approaches offer space for insight, release and meaningful change. The work is collaborative and holistic - bringing together your body, heart and mind - so that you can step out of your head and into a more embodied, authentic way of living.
"I had just 5 sessions with Lucinda after a series of extremely stressful events had left me feeling panicky and anxious. I felt stuck in a loop, unable to make objective decisions. Her calm approach and ability to make me look at the person I really am has opened my mind to a different way of thinking and encouraged me to push my boundaries. Working outdoors was different and special; it took me back to my childhood and reminded me of how restful and restorative nature can be."
