Amy Lucas
The most important thing when selecting a therapist is a good fit.
It is important there is a good therapeutic connection where the
client feels seen, validated and supported. In my practice I
endeavour to show up authentically and feel privileged to be able
to help people feel better and experience more joy in their life.
In therapy we will strive to create a truly custom fit approach to
your care that embraces all your strengths.
By combining a safe space to share your story with new skills you
will see one small change can truly have a snowball effect.

reduce our overall stress levels, give us more clarity and improve
our moods and relationships. With new skills, perspectives, and
understandings of who you are you will learn to bend like a little
willow…
