Dr Lucy Doherty

As a registered health psychologist who’s experienced first-hand what it feels like to be stressed, anxious and burnt out, I’m here to help. I’m friendly and open-minded with an optimistic outlook and a holistic approach.

I’m passionate about what I do and am fascinated by the mind-body connection; it really is a magical system and as humans, we need to understand and appreciate it better.

No one teaches us how to understand the mind – it certainly doesn’t come with a ready-made manual – but I love knowing that my work makes a huge difference to others.

Most people I work with want to enhance their mental and emotional wellbeing, reduce anxiety and relieve stress, so that life feels more enjoyable. Others come to me for help with specific areas of their physical health, including gastrointestinal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, weight management and smoking cessation, or to facilitate change.

It’s ok not to know exactly what kind of support you need; intuitively feeling that something ‘isn’t right’ is a great place to start.
If you’ve found yourself at a fork in the road and aren’t sure how to move forward, then we’ll work together to uncover your goals, fine-tuning our sessions as we go so you can enjoy a more meaningful life and make conscious choices that are closer to your values and reasons for living.

A trained HeartMath coach, I use the latest heart rate variability coherence technology to optimise physiological aspects of your nervous system and combine it with psychological therapy to guide you safely and non-judgementally to where you want to be.
It is possible for you to take charge of your own mental and physical health once you know how; I’m simply here to guide you.
