Who I am
My name is Lucy and I am the founder and therapist at Stillwater. After 15+ years of corporate city life, and experiencing my own transformation through therapeutic counselling, a career change called to me.
Since leaving corporate life behind I have worked for Breast Cancer Now in collaboration with Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS trust, in group facilitation for patients with secondary (metastatic) breast cancer, and with a multi-disciplinary agency offering mental health support and counselling services.
Since experiencing the life changing effects of acupuncture, I decided I had to add this to my practice too and so Stillwater Therapy was born. A place where I can share the gifts of therapy and acupuncture with others like me.
When I reflect on my personal journey and my own mental health, it always brings me back to a vivid visual image of being in a little boat floating on a large expanse of calm, still, water. There are sometimes little pebbles thrown in by outside influences that may cause ripples on the surface, or sometimes bigger boats that create choppier waters. But I know that in time things always return to the calm mirror-like surface where I can continue to float happily in my little boat.
Together, we can find you your own version of this.
