Lucy Matthews
Psychodynamic Psychotherapeutic Counselling
A warm welcome to Lucy Matthews Psychodynamic Psychotherapeutic Counselling and thanks for visiting.
Finding the right therapist can feel like a daunting and overwhelming task.
I hope that this website will provide an overview into what I offer and help you with your decision.
I’ve also provided some useful links and resources that might be helpful to you now and in addition to the therapy that you are seeking.
I offer a 30-minute online, free no-obligation session as a way of getting to know each other. It allows us to talk about your hopes and what you would like to achieve on your counselling journey.
This initial meeting will give you a feel for my therapy
sessions and for you to see if my way of working might be a good fit for you.
Please do contact me if you have any questions or would like some further information.
My core training is psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theory. Psychodynamic therapy is a collaborative process where we will explore together what’s on your mind, allowing you to gain insight into your unconscious thoughts leading to greater understanding of yourself and what you want to get out of life.
Psychodynamic refers to the psyche/mind, and its interaction with our internal thoughts and desires and external influences. By looking at experiences from our childhood and how they impact us as adults, we can notice patterns in our behaviours and gain some control over them to help us feel more comfortable as we are today.
I will be alongside you to support you on your journey, together we can start to make sense of what is going on for you in the here and now.
I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Psychotherapeutic Counselling. I also work in cancer research and have over 10 years’ experience working with cancer patients and their families.
