Welcome

I created Your Mind Works to bring psychology into real life. A place where you can understand yourself better, look after your wellbeing and keep growing, whatever life looks like right now.

You may be here because stress, anxiety, poor sleep, chronic pain or something else is making life harder than it needs to. Or maybe you want to understand yourself better, learn mindfulness, find new ways to look after your wellbeing or enjoy more of the life you’re living.

Whatever brings you here, and wherever you’re starting from, you’re welcome.

This is your Space.

You shouldn’t have to choose between doing well and feeling well.

When your mind works with you, both become possible.

There are different ways to begin, from one-to-one therapy and coaching to ongoing wellbeing and personal growth through The Membership.

Psychology has been at the heart of my work for more than 25 years, across therapy, education and business. Although the settings have changed, the thread running through it all has remained the same: helping people understand themselves, feel better and make changes that matter in their lives.

My MSc in Health Psychology deepened my understanding of how our minds, bodies, behaviour and experiences interact, particularly in relation to stress, long-term health conditions and chronic pain. My postgraduate research explored the experiences of people living with fibromyalgia. Alongside my studies, I worked within an NHS multidisciplinary pain-management team, supporting research into long-term-condition care and using cognitive behavioural approaches to support people living with chronic pain.

I went on to found Island Equus, an equine-assisted therapy and alternative-education centre that brought together psychology, education and my lifelong love of horses. For ten years, we supported children and young people with SEND, those in care and those experiencing emotional or behavioural difficulties. My connection with the equestrian world remains part of my work today, and I still enjoy helping riders with confidence, performance and personal growth.

Understanding your mind can change how you feel, what you do and what becomes possible next.

Alongside my psychology and therapy work, I’ve spent years as an entrepreneur and have helped other health and wellbeing professionals develop their businesses, services and courses. My understanding of behaviour change was an important part of that work: not only sharing good information, but creating experiences that people could genuinely engage with and use.

This mix of experience has shown me that psychology can make a difference in almost every part of life. Whether I’m working with an individual, a group or an organisation, I help people understand what’s happening, handle pressure, change what is no longer working and move forward with greater confidence.

I also understand what it’s like to fit your wellbeing around a full life. I’m a mum, I home educate my daughter and I run a business, alongside all the other responsibilities that come with work and family life.

Your Mind Works brings all of this together through one-to-one support, specialist programmes, courses, live events and The Membership: different ways to understand your mind, look after your wellbeing and keep growing throughout life.

MY approach

and values

01

Knowledge

Understanding changes things. Years of study, training and experience help me make psychology clear, engaging and relevant to real life, so you can make sense of yourself, see new possibilities and know what you can do next.

02

Authenticity

Life works better when your choices feel like your own. Authenticity means understanding what matters to you, questioning the things you think you should be doing and creating a life that feels more like you.

03

Freedom

Freedom means having more choice in how you respond and what you do next, even when life is difficult. The things you’re carrying don’t have to make every decision or stop you building the life you want.

04

Growth

Growth isn’t about constantly fixing or improving yourself. It’s about continuing to learn, trying new things and discovering what becomes possible when you understand yourself better.

05

Courage

Courage isn’t the absence of fear or doubt. It’s doing what matters while those feelings are there – asking for support, trying something new, speaking up or taking the next step before you feel completely ready.

I’ve always felt very relaxed, comfortable & confident.
Safe in your hands.

I felt really supported throughout and you explained everything really thoroughly and really clearly. I have definitely achieved what I wanted to, with a difference in my ability to relax and to be less worried about things. The biggest change for me is having the courage to be more assertive. I have found therapy has just helped massively. All the different aspects, working step-by-step to get a solution, getting clarity on my thoughts, the audios are just brilliant and the relaxation exercises have all been hugely beneficial too. I always felt very relaxed, comfortable and confident. Safe in your hands. Thank you. It has been amazing. I would absolutely recommend Lucy.

I’m sleeping much better now, and I wake up with much more energy.

I found it really helpful. After a couple of weeks I started to notice quite a big difference in my sleep, and everything was easy to follow and helpful. I regularly use the meditations and Leaves on a Stream, especially when I have the same thought going round, and I know I can go back to the practices whenever I need to. I’m sleeping much better now, and I wake up with much more energy. The diary helped me properly understand what was going on. I’ve also become more confident in other areas. I’ve done new things I wouldn’t have done before, and I feel less worried. I have already recommended Lucy to others.

Knowing that my mind is just doing things that normal minds do has helped me a lot.

Understanding more about myself and knowing that my mind is just doing things that normal minds do has helped me a lot. I’m now much more patient with myself and know what to do when I start to feel anxious. It’s helped me make sense of so many things. I realised I had more ability to cope than I thought, but I needed help learning how to use those skills in the situations I needed them most. I feel much more confident, and learning self-hypnosis has been really helpful.

Learning about how chronic pain works was really helpful, and I finally felt things could get better.

Lucy made me feel at ease and explained everything simply so I understood. Learning about how chronic pain works was really helpful, and I finally felt things could get better. I’d been afraid to move because I always thought it would make things worse, even though my doctor told me to move more. I wish he had explained it properly back then, just knowing it was okay helped no end. The breathing exercises and relaxation helped a lot, and hypnosis really does help with the pain. The pain hasn’t gone, but it doesn’t control me like it did anymore. Thank you for all your help.
