Does this sound familiar?
You’re always doing, striving, trying to hold it all together — but it still feels like you’re getting nowhere. Even rest feels hard, like there’s something else you should be doing.
​
You look to others for approval or direction, overthink everything, and struggle to say no. You're stuck in the cycle of over giving, people-pleasing, and never quite feeling enough.
​
Relationships feel one-sided, draining, or confusing. You try to fix things, keep the peace, but boundaries feel impossible — and the guilt is overwhelming.
​
Maybe you’ve started numbing out with food, your phone, or other habits just to cope. And Deep down, you feel it — that quiet whisper or burning desire that says: Isn’t there more to life than this?
​ If any of this resonates with you — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, insight, and real tools to help you reconnect with yourself, build healthier relationships, and start living a life that feels true to you.
I help people who’ve spent years putting themselves last — reconnect with their voice, body & boundaries without guilt.
Together, we gently unravel patterns of over giving, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment so you can begin to reconnect with your body, your boundaries, and your deeper truth.
​
My approach is warm, grounded, and flexible — blending therapy and coaching to meet you where you are.
I work with clients on:
-
Boundaries & self-worth
-
Breaking people-pleasing patterns
-
Healing relationship wounds & attachment
-
Releasing guilt around taking up space
-
Navigating emotional triggers & regulation
-
Reconnecting with your body & voice
-
Addictive behaviours, body image, and emotional coping​​​​
You don’t have to keep abandoning yourself to keep the peace. You can choose you — and I can help you get there.
About
Lucy Joy Knight
In both my Counselling and Therapeutic Coaching work, my approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and real-life experience. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all methods — instead, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you reclaim who you are beneath the coping, pleasing, fixing, or self-doubt.
​​
I specialise in supporting those who’ve spent much of their lives putting others first — often at the cost of their own needs, voice, and joy. My work is about helping you release the guilt that so often comes with taking up space, and learning how to honour yourself with compassion and care.
​
I hold a First-Class Honours degree in Psychology and Counselling, a Diploma in Higher Education in Counselling, and an Accredited Certificate in Life Coaching. With over a decade of experience supporting adults, young people, and adolescents across a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges, I bring both depth and flexibility to the way I work.
​
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life — across cultures, identities, backgrounds, and life stages. I bring that richness of experience into every space I hold.​​
This work is deeply personal to me. I’ve walked my own path of self-reflection, healing, and growth — navigating life changes, letting go of old roles, and learning to reconnect with my voice, body, boundaries, and joy. I know how transformative it can be to feel truly seen, supported, and empowered to live more fully and freely.
​
That’s why I blend therapeutic depth with coaching momentum — to help you heal what’s underneath, shift long-standing patterns, and feel empowered to live in alignment with who you truly are.
Because this isn’t about becoming someone else — it’s about coming home to yourself.
It’s about remembering that your needs matter, your voice is valid, and your joy isn’t something you have to chase — it’s something you begin to feel safe enough to allow again.
​
Whether you work with me as a Counsellor or a Therapeutic Coach, our space will be one of safety, curiosity, truth, and growth — where you’re gently supported in reconnecting with yourself, and living in a way that finally feels true.
Services
We can work together online, via Zoom or by phone
COUNSELLING
Within counselling I offer a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgemental space for you to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface — whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or disconnected from yourself.
​
As a BACP Registered person-centred, integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs.
​
My approach is relational, down-to-earth, and trauma-informed, helping you make sense of patterns, process emotions, and reconnect with your voice, boundaries, and inner clarity.
Together, we work at your pace to gently untangle the thoughts, behaviours, and beliefs that are no longer serving you.
​
I’ll listen with empathy and care, offering a fresh perspective that supports you in finding your own answers from within. This work can bring clarity, healing, and the strength to move forward with greater confidence and self-trust.
THERAPEUTIC COACHING
My therapeutic coaching approach offers a safe, non-judgemental space where you can gain greater self-awareness, uncover what’s holding you back, and begin creating meaningful change. Together, we explore both the surface challenges and deeper root causes — often unconscious — that may be keeping you stuck in patterns like overgiving, self-doubt, or unclear boundaries.
​
This process is collaborative, conversational, and goal-oriented. It’s designed to help you reconnect with your strengths, clarify your values, and take empowered steps toward the life you want to live.
Unlike traditional therapy, which often focuses on processing past experiences, therapeutic coaching is more future-focused. While we may touch on your history, our work centres on where you are now and where you want to go — helping you set goals, build self-trust, and create a clear path forward.
​
It’s a space to be fully seen, supported, and challenged — so you can step into alignment with who you truly are, with more confidence, clarity, and ease.
