You’ve learned to listen to everyone else — but not yourself.
You keep the peace for others and quietly lose yourself in the process.
​
Online counselling for people-pleasing, guilt, overthinking, and difficulty setting boundaries.
Does this sound familiar?
You’re always doing, striving, and 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 conversations, feel guilty saying no, and often end up doing more than you have the energy for.
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. Deep down, you feel it — that quiet whisper or burning desire that says: Isn’t there more to life than this?
​
If this resonates, you’re not broken or weak. I offer a warm, safe space for people who put others first to manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low confidence, and family or relationship issues or trauma.
Together, we explore what’s been driving these patterns and help you rebuild self-trust, set healthier boundaries, and start living in a way that feels true to you.
How I Can Help:
I help people who’ve spent years putting themselves last — reconnect with their voice, body, and boundaries without guilt.
My approach is warm, grounded, and flexible, blending therapy and coaching to meet you where you are.
​
You don’t have to keep abandoning yourself to keep the peace. You can choose you — and I can help you get there.
Together, we gently unravel patterns of over-giving, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment so you can begin to:
-
Rebuild self-trust and confidence
-
Set healthier boundaries
-
Heal attachment and relationship wounds
-
Release guilt around taking up space
-
Strengthen emotional regulation and resilience
-
Reconnect with your body and inner voice
-
Manage anxiety, depression, and coping with stress
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 reconnect with your needs, voice, boundaries, and joy.
​
I specialise in supporting people who’ve spent much of their lives putting others first, often at the cost of their own wellbeing. My work helps you release the guilt that comes with taking up space and learn to honour yourself with compassion and care.
​
While I specialise in these areas, I also offer a wide range of therapeutic support — please reach out if you’re unsure whether we’d be a good fit.
​
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 my work.
This work is deeply personal to me. I’ve walked my own path of self-reflection, healing, and growth, 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 fully and freely.
​
That’s why I blend therapeutic depth with coaching momentum — helping you heal underlying patterns, shift long-standing habits, and step into alignment with who you truly are.
​
​​
This isn’t about becoming someone else — it’s about reconnecting with yourself.​
Your needs matter, your voice is valid, and your joy isn’t something to chase — it’s something you begin to allow again.

We can work together online, via Zoom or by phone
COUNSELLING
I offer a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgemental space 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 approaches tailored to your unique needs. My work is relational, trauma-informed, and down-to-earth, 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 thoughts, behaviours, and beliefs that no longer serve you. This can bring clarity, healing, and the strength to move forward with greater self-trust and confidence.
THERAPEUTIC COACHING
Therapeutic coaching offers a safe, collaborative space to gain self-awareness, uncover what’s holding you back, and begin creating meaningful change. Together, we explore both the surface challenges and deeper root causes that may keep you stuck in patterns like overgiving, self-doubt, or unclear boundaries.
​
This process is future-focused: we centre 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 confidence, clarity, and ease.
