About Lucy
I have previously worked as a secondary school teacher before training to become a Child and Adolescent psychotherapist. I now have over 17 years of experience of working with children, adolescents, adults, parents and couples. I also work as a clinical supervisor with counsellors, psychotherapists and mental health workers who work in schools, mental health organisations and in private practice.
I see clients face-to-face at 8AKP Therapeutic Consultants in Central Cambridge which I set up in January 2021 to help address the level of need for highly trained and accredited practitioners to address the growing need for mental health support.
As well as client work, I am also a trainer and supervisor at Terapia which is one of the leading Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy training organisations in the UK and I am the Vice Chair of the Child Psychotherapy Council.
