optionalMichelle Lucas – Psychotherapist
Hello, I’m Michelle, an Integrative Therapist with over a decade of experience since 2012. I utilise a blend of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, psychodynamic, and person-centred therapy. This approach allows me to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients.
In our sessions, we will typically:

- Work together to understand your choices and personal journey.

I believe in the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship to facilitate meaningful change.
