Welcome

My name is Lucy. Thank you for visiting me here.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AASW) and Pilates & Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor based in Meanjin (Brisbane), Australia.

I have more than 10 years experience working across the community and private sectors supporting people with their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. I offer individual therapy sessions to adolescents and adults and teach yoga & movement classes in group and community settings.

My approach is person-centred in that I seek to understand and build upon the unique strengths and experiences of the people that I work with.  I have a warm and empathetic style, and strive to create a safe, relaxed and judgement-free space whether it be in a therapy room or a yoga studio.

Outside of work, I love being a mum to my baby boy and spending time with family and friends. I enjoy walks in nature, reading novels, listening to podcasts, and picnics in the park.

Please explore my website further or get in touch to learn more about how I can support you and your community through a range of different offerings.
