Workplace stress causes: why your brain can’t tell the difference between a tiger and your inbox
You’re sitting at your desk, inbox open, when an email lands from your boss. Your chest tightens. Your thoughts start racing. And somewhere in your body, it feels, just for a moment, like a threat.

Mindfulness at work: the myth that’s putting people off If you’ve ever thought “I’d like to try mindfulness but I just don’t have the time,” you’re not alone.

Anxiety in business: how to break up with your most toxic relationship
Anxiety in business: the relationship nobody asked for Your anxiety wants back in. You know the feeling. That familiar knock at your mental door. The overthinking. The what-if spirals.

I’m Lucy
psychologist, integrative psychotherapist + coach
I know what it’s like when you understand exactly what you need to change, but something keeps getting in the way. The overthinking. The stress that won’t quiet down. The gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. I help people close that gap, not through more analysis, but by building the practical psychological skills that let you respond differently in the moments that actually matter.
Your wellbeing, always in your pocket.
