Marianne Lucas

Marianne Lucas is an integrative therapist whose approach is rooted in empathy and compassion. She deeply values the client-therapist relationship, recognising its central role in the therapeutic process. Her goal is to cultivate a space where clients feel truly heard, seen, and safe.

Drawing from psychodynamic, person-centred, and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), Marianne tailors her approach to suit each client’s unique needs. She believes that therapy should be a collaborative journey, working alongside her clients at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for them.

Her primary aims include creating a welcoming and secure environment for exploration, helping clients gain insight into how past experiences may be shaping their present, and empowering them to make informed choices about their future. When appropriate, she provides practical tools to support reflection and the gentle challenge of unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. She regularly checks in with clients to ensure the therapy process is working for them.

Before retraining as an integrative therapist, Marianne worked in eating disorder and addiction treatment at a rehabilitation hospital. She has supported individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, anger, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem, depression, childhood trauma, and relationship difficulties. Through her thoughtful and adaptable approach, she remains dedicated to guiding clients toward deeper understanding and emotional resilience.
