Adults Counselling in Bellingen, NSW

I specialise in assisting children, adolescents and adults to heal and transform from trauma, early attachment disruptions, overwhelm/burnout, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, relational challenges, disordered eating, self-esteem/identity issues and life transitions. I support people to not only gain insight about their struggles, but to transform at an embodied level through processing negative self-beliefs, stuck emotions and/or unhelpful behaviours. These may be experienced as distressing symptoms or experiences that sometimes do not make sense.

Hi – I’m Lucy, a neurodivergent Provisional Psychologist who works with other Autistic, ADHD and neurodivergent people ( adults and teenagers). My calling in life is to support you in understanding and embracing your neurodivergent identity - and help you work out what support you need to better cope in the neurotypical world. As a late-identified neurodivergent person, I understand how neurotypical systems and organisations misunderstand our communication style, sensory needs, and executive functioning. And as a Provisional Psychologist, I understand the skills, strategies and fierce boundaries you will need to get by in this world.

I'm a holistic, eclectic and creative mental health social worker and therapist intent on helping my clients feel safe to be seen. I focus on the neurophysiology of safety, circadian rhythms, biohacking and of releasing and integrating old emotions. I support a ‘waking down’ into the body and it’s different systems to connect to your inner guidance and to elicit soul-filled, creative solutions. I also focus on developing healthy boundaries with self and others to make meaning of the past whilst cultivating a life of connection and self-empowerment.

I aspire to provide the highest level of evidence based care for clients aged 10 years or more utilizing the following therapy: Cognitive Behavior Therapy including EMDR, Acceptance Commitment Therapy / Mindfulness approaches, Cognitive retraining and visualization for persistent pain, and Emotion focused therapy. An extensive initial assessment is conducted over 1-2 sessions and the approach, therapy target(s), and appropriate goals are communally discussed and planned. Grief management and counseling are provided as required. Therapy may be face to face or online.
