About Your Therapist – Lucy
I am Lucy, an experienced psychotherapist of 21 years experience. I have been working with clients with chronic conditions following an interest after my own journey through back and neck pain myself. I would love to share my knowledge and training with you on this journey through therapy.
I experienced failed back surgery numerous times after a career as a professional sports person and discovered a journey out of my pain (and realised most of the surgery was probably unnecessary) with psychological inputs and education around why chronic pain evolves and persists. This eureka moment for me when I realised I could be in control of my pain led me to want to help others and develop my practice in this direction, thus leading to this retreat.
I work by getting a detailed history of the client with all medical tests and results taken in to consideration before commencing work. Together we highlight past traumas in your life and also personality traits and family history that could lead to chronic stress build up in the body, which in turn manifests as your chronic condition.
A variety of techniques are used (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) in order to take the power out of these elements leading to your chronic stress build up in your system. Psychoeducation is also used to enable understanding of why techniques will work and why practice and repetition is important – this is a lifetime journey not just a week!
I have other interests in sea swimming (in the English Channel!) all year round, Tai Chi, Yoga, Meditation, Theatre visits, and walking my daschund by the sea early in the morning to start my day.
I am BUPA / AXA / AVIVA registered
