Lucy Reynolds

I am accepting new clients.

I offer in-person and online sessions, Monday to Thursday

Please note I do not currently have any evening availability and operate a waiting list for these times.

I offer a free telephone/online consultation which will usually be around 15-minutes long, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions you have, briefly discuss your current challenges, the impact they're having, and to explore what therapy might look like with me.

You wake up each day with your heart already racing, feeling overwhelmed by yesterday's regrets or tomorrow's worries.

You rehearse conversations in your head, terrified of saying the wrong thing.

Your body never really relaxes 鈥� jaw clenched, shoulders tense, stomach in knots.

Even small decisions 鈥� what to wear, whether to answer a message 鈥� feel overwhelming.

You鈥檙e exhausted from holding it all together on the outside while inside feels chaotic.

鈥�and you don鈥檛 know how much longer you can cope with feeling like this

I want to tell you that you don鈥檛 need to carry on this way 鈥� I can help. 

There was a time when I kept everyone else happy but had no idea who I was anymore. Therapy helped me find my way back.

Imagine creating a life where you...

• are able to finally switch off your mind and feel some peace
• trust yourself 鈥� your decisions, your instincts, your worth
• feel safe in your own body again, not constantly on high alert
• have relationships where you don鈥檛 feel like you鈥檙e 鈥渢oo much鈥� or 鈥渘ot enough鈥�
• stop feeling defined by past experiences and start living in the present
• recognise yourself again 鈥� the real you, not just the anxious version

What to expect if you choose to work with me:

Your sessions are just that: YOURS. This is your time to use however you choose, and to talk about whatever you want. I won鈥檛 direct you or give you advice, but here are a few examples of areas we might work on together:

• Self-Discovery and Identity: Explore who you are beyond your roles and relationships. Uncover your values, passions, and unique self.
• Healing from Trauma: Process past experiences with compassion, releasing shame and blame. Together, we鈥檒l reduce their impact on your present and future.
• Managing Anxiety and Stress: Tackle root causes, calm your mind, and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life.
• Building Self-Worth and Compassion: Silence the inner critic. Learn to nurture self-compassion and develop a strong, lasting sense of self-worth.

I use an integrative approach tailored to your unique needs which is rooted in humanistic therapy, bringing in trauma-informed techniques and mindfulness practices - we can discuss this fully in your first session with me, where (if it fits for you) we鈥檒l use some assessment tools to see where you鈥檙e at now, and what your hopes and goals are for therapy.

(Re)discover your authentic self through therapy with Lucy Reynolds

Do you wake up dreading each day? Worrying about what could go wrong/the things that happened yesterday/what might happen today? Your inner critic is LOUD, your expectations for yourself are HIGH, and not only do you feel you鈥檝e lost sight of yourself, but perhaps you feel as though you've never really known who you are! 

Maybe you feel lost, with no clear sense of purpose?

Feeling as though you鈥檙e not good enough? 

Unsure who you are any more, or what the point is? 

Stressed out is just your standard state of mind nowadays, and your confidence and self-worth have taken a nose dive鈥�

you worry what everyone else thinks

you put everyone else first, always

You don鈥檛 want to let anyone down (but let yourself down instead)

鈥�and you don鈥檛 know how much longer you can cope with feeling like this

I want to tell you that you don鈥檛 need to carry on this way 鈥� I can help. 

My clients have experienced challenges just like this, and have grown to like themselves, improve their relationships, and to feel at ease and confident in their own skin. I have watched them grow and flourish as they process and move on from past trauma, feel more comfortable with who they are, become compassionate towards themselves, let go of the weight of other鈥檚 expectations, and live the lives they choose for themselves and their families. 

Imagine feeling more confident 鈥� at work, at home, in your social life鈥�

trusting in your own judgement 鈥� and forgetting about what others think

Communicating with those close to you more clearly, having better, more equal, genuine relationships

Working out who YOU are and what YOU want out of life 鈥� no longer letting the past or your fears hold you back from being happy.

Imagine being able to be yourself -  relaxing and liking who you are, valuing and taking care of yourself 鈥� and knowing that you deserve it.

• Managing Anxiety and Stress: I鈥檒l equip you with tools to manage anxiety and stress, getting to the root causes and helping you feel more present and relaxed.
• Building Self-Worth and Compassion: Learn to like and value yourself, cultivating self-compassion and dismantling the inner critic that holds you back.I work online, or face to face if you're local to me in Ramsbottom, and offer a free online meeting or phone call for us to briefly discuss your current challenges, the impact they're having, and to explore what therapy might look like with me.
