Lucy Francis Therapeutic Counselling

Finding your way starts with being heard

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined. Sometimes we feel stretched thin, out of step with ourselves, or unsure how we reached this point. You may not have the words for what you’re feeling - only a sense that something needs attention.

I’m a humanistic–integrative counsellor, which means that I pay attention to who you are, not just what you’re struggling with and draw on a variety of models to support our work together.

I believe therapy should feel human, steady and genuinely attuned to you. I support adults and young people to slow down, make sense of their inner world and move towards a more grounded way of being. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, overwhelm, identity questions, parenting challenges, neurodivergence, or the quiet ache of feeling “not quite yourself”, you don’t have to work it out alone.

In Person and Online Counselling

Thoughtful, gentle counselling to support your journey

Online

Join from a comfortable, private space that suits you from anywhere in the UK. Many people find it especially helpful if travel, schedules, health or energy levels make in-person sessions difficult.

Young People

I offer in-person counselling for young people aged 14 and over. There will be initial contact with parents/caregivers, and then the sessions themselves are for the young person alone. This is to ensure a private, confidential space for their own exploration.

In Person

I offer sessions in Hove and Lewes, both locations offer good public transport links and have parking on-site or in the surrounding roads. Please note that rooms at both locations are accessed via stairs.
