Welcome to Northern Tides
Counselling and Consultancy
Space and time to explore your thoughts and feelings
Are you feeling stuck overwhelmed or held back from living the
life you want?
You may be feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. At times we all need support to make sense of our thoughts and feelings, understand ourselves more deeply and navigate life's challenges. Seeking support is a positive first step towards greater self awareness, emotional wellbeing and meaningful change.
Hello and welcome, I’m Lucy, a person centred and integrative counsellor and clinical supervisor offering counselling in North Shields and online. I work with adults on both a short or longer term basis. My approach is warm, collaborative and trauma-informed, offering a supportive space where you can explore what is troubling you, gain insight and make positive changes in your life.
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, trauma survivors, trainee counsellors and those experiencing relationship, bereavement and mental health difficulties.
How Can Counselling Help?
Life can often feel overwhelming, and we don't always have the time or space to reflect on our experiences or emotions. Counselling offers an opportunity to explore what is going on for you, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop ways of coping with the challenges you may be facing.
As a person-centred counsellor I believe that each person has the capacity for growth, change and self-understanding. My role is not to tell you what to do or try to fix you but to work alongside you with warmth, empathy and curiosity. Together we can explore the experiences, thoughts and feelings that may be affecting you, helping you gain insight and move forward with greater confidence.

Counselling
Whether you are facing a specific difficulty or simply feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward, counselling provides a supportive space to explore what's going on for you, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop ways of coping with life's challenges.
Together we can work towards greater wellbeing, confidence and clarity.
Relationship Counselling
Relationships can come under pressure from everyday life, significant changes or difficult experiences.
Whether you are struggling with communication, conflict, trust or feeling disconnected, relationship counselling offers a safe and neutral space to explore these challenges together and find a way forward.
60 and 90 minute sessions available.
Clinical
Supervision
As a supervisor I offer a supportive and reflective space to explore your client work, professional development and the challenges of practice. Alongside support, I encourage reflection, growth and confidence in your work as a practitioner.
I work with both trainee and qualified counsellors supporting ethical practice, professional development and ongoing learning.
