Lucinda approaches clients’ mental health symptoms with curiosity and enjoys working collaboratively with clients to help them to explore the origins of their symptoms, so that they can become more self-compassionate and have healthier relationships with others.  She enjoys assisting clients to develop healthier patterns of behaviour and thinking, and helping them to live in greater alignment with their values and become the people they want to be.

Lucinda also offers parenting support, recognising the   challenges faced by parents, particularly with neurodiverse family members.
