Welcome,
I'm Lucille.
I'm a Therapist, Writer and Behavioural Scientist. I work with individuals and couples to improve their relationships by learning to better manage their emotions, upgrade their communication and deepen their emotional and physical intimacy.
OFFERINGS
I am an ACA Accredited Counsellor. Here's how I can support you. . .
Hello, I’m Lucille.
I’m a Counsellor and Behavioural Scientist based in Sydney, Australia. I offer individual and couple therapy online and work with clients all over the world.
My goal is you provide you with a warm and welcoming space where you can feel seen, heard and understood. A place where you can share your experiences free from judgement. I’m told the difference in my approach is that I use a mixture of counselling and psychoeducation in sessions which provides you with the space to process your experiences and emotions, while also giving you the skills and tools to navigate the road ahead.
Our sessions will be an exploration. We will talk and do activities. I'm not a therapist who just sits and nods but rather I will engage with you, I will explore with you and I will guide you through activities and give you tools to support your growth.
I love what I do and feel especially passionate about working with clients in managing and improving their mental health, navigating life transitions, working through challenges in relationships (including those related to conflict, sex and intimacy), building self-esteem, processing past trauma, managing strong emotions, improving communication and dealing with addictions. Whatever brings you here today… I am here to support you.

With love,
