LUCY TURVIL
Psychodynamic counsellor
PGDip MBACP(Accred)
About me
My original training was in nursing and I have over twenty years’ experience of working with individuals and their families. This has included hospital and community settings.
​
I have always been interested in psychological and emotional health and completed a BSC (hons) in psychology with the open university in 2009. Since then I have gone on to train as a psychodynamic counsellor at Brighton university. I am an Accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP.)
​
As part of my counselling training I have worked in a low cost counselling service for a number of years. I now work in private practice and have experience of working with adults both short and long-term in relation to anxiety and depression, loss and bereavement, transitional changes, relationships, abuse, sexuality, low self- esteem and personal development. I have a particular interest in how we move through the stages of life and how our perspectives change and are influenced by this. With a background in nursing, I'm also interested in working with those in the 'helping professions'.
Although my training is psychodynamic, I believe that there is more than one way of exploring emotional distress. Sometimes our life experiences narrow our perspective and there is a lot to be gained from working together to help you think about why you feel as you do.
