Welcome to Lucie Marie Counselling
Hi, I’m Lucie, a qualified Person-Centred Integrative Counsellor. I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, and I’ve been there myself. My aim is to offer you a safe, warm and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, respected and truly listened to. As you are the expert in yourself, we’ll work together at your pace and in a way that feels right for you, whether that means talking, sitting quietly, or exploring your thoughts and feelings creatively. My hope is to support you as you make sense of what you’re experiencing, heal and grow.
A little bit about me.
For a long time, I experienced anxiety at a time when people didn’t really talk about that sort of thing and mental health was not spoken about. It felt isolating, confusing and at times I felt a little lost and didn’t really know who I was. Things only began to change when I finally started speaking about it. Talking helped me understand what was going on, and just as importantly, it helped those around me understand me too. That made a real difference.
My journey into counselling began while I was working at a local charity supporting bereaved families. I saw just how powerful it could be to have a safe space to talk. They just needed to be heard. It was clear how much healing could happen simply by allowing someone to share what they were feeling, in their own time and in their own way. That experience, and my own, stayed with me and led me to train as a counsellor.

Sometimes we carry so much without ever really saying how we feel.
How often do we tell someone we’re fine, even when we’re not? Whether it’s a friend, partner or family member, it’s easy to brush things off and keep going. But the truth is, speaking honestly can make a real difference. Talking to someone outside the situation, who isn’t caught up in your day-to-day life, can help you see things more clearly and feel less alone in what you're carrying.
You might be facing something recent or something that’s been sitting with you for years. It might be sadness, frustration, confusion, or something you can't quite put into words yet. Whatever you bring, this is a space where every emotion is welcome, whether that’s grief, anger, fear or something in between. You may have lost a loved one, or a change in your life that has been hard to understand, or you may have also lost yourself. You don’t need to hold back or explain things in a certain way. You’ll be met with warmth, understanding and with no judgement.
Our time together is shaped around you.
There’s no pressure to talk in a certain way or cover certain topics. Some days you might want to talk through something in depth. Other days, you might just need to sit quietly or take things slowly. All of that is okay. My role is to walk alongside you and to hold a space that feels steady and safe, no matter what you’re bringing. Really listening to not only your words but also your body language and tone of speech can really help you notice whats going on inside your body and mind.
This is your space, and you will always be at the heart of it.

A calm and inviting space to talk
I've created a space that is warm and comfortable to allow my clients to express themselves in a calm, inviting space.
What I offer
I offer face-to-face counselling and online sessions based from my therapy room in Eastbourne, East Sussex. I also understand that sometimes things happen so I am happy to accommodate a mixture of both face-to-face and online.
I understand that finding the right therapist for you is extremely important so I offer a free no obligation introductory phone call or a free 30 minute session either in person or online to answer any questions you may have, discuss the areas that you would like to work through and see if I am the right person for you. This can also help you get a feel of the space our sessions would be held in.
If you decide that I am the right counsellor for you and you wish to continue, then we can discuss a time and date that would suit you.
Our sessions will be 50 minutes long and priced at £50 for individual counselling or
50 minutes at £60 for couples.
I also offer a discounted rate of £40 for student counsellor's as I think it's important to help the next co-hort of counsellors.
Our sessions can be weekly, fortnightly or also a top-up session as and when you feel you may need one.
