Lucas Teague Psychotherapy 170 Brick Lane, London E1 6RU

"I started working with Lucas to help me overcome various issues I had been struggling with over a number of years. I didn't realise it, but many of the issues that were impacting me internally, which also manifested themselves externally, developed at a very young age. Lucas helped me get clarity around those issues at their core and really helped me develop a sense of myself I didn't realise existed. From that new foundation I've been able to be true to who I am and now also true to others. That really helped me lay a foundation of strength in my life instead of one built on fear and control. I feel now I have the tools to really assess why I make certain decisions and how to evaluate myself in a positive and constructive way. Thank you Lucas for all of your help! It was tough work, and at times tough to admit to myself what we worked through, but truly life changing for me and my family! -PD"

"I met with Lucas over a period of several months. I was going through probably the hardest time of my life, suffering from depression, extremely low self-esteem, self-harming and suicidal thoughts following a traumatic life event. I felt comfortable talking to Lucas; it was easy to open up and tell him my innermost thoughts without fear of judgement, in a safe, caring environment and quickly we developed a healthy relationship through which to tackle my issues. Through my darkest times of complete self-hatred where I only saw one way out, he was able to help me identify a grain of self-love that lay within, and nurture it and grow self-love and acceptance of myself and who I am.

"I worked with Lucas for 8 months and He really helped me a lot working on my fears and my poor self-confidence. I started the counselling mostly for my problems with relationships and in the same time I started to date my actual boyfriend. I was very scared and full of questions and I really believe that Lucas and the counselling contributed to build my relationship when it was so fragile in its beginning. Me and my boyfriend We recently celebrated 1 year that we live together. I think Lucas is really professional, giving the right space and in the same time the humanity to feel confident to completely open yourself. He really loves his job."

"Lucas was very welcoming when we first met and since then, has continued to provide a safe and comforting environment. The journey that I have gone through has felt somewhat transformative and Lucas had helped me to unlock the potential and power within myself. Without his support, I wouldn’t be in the position I am in now and I am truly grateful for his kindness, throughout. Towards the end of my journey, I truly felt that Lucas has been instrumental in enabling me to identify the person I want to be and I feel proud to be able to say that I have reached the end of a chapter; embracing my experiences, in a way that I have learnt and grown as my own person and how I approach life and situations. This is now the beginning of something new. I always find myself using the tools and techniques learnt through the sessions, continually self-reflecting and growing more and more, into being ME!"

""I went to Lucas with a number of issues, some very long standing with which I felt well and truly stuck. The sessions I had with him were sometimes challenging, sometimes profound but always felt safe. They – and he supported me greatly in taking charge of the things I had been struggling with and feeling affirmed in my ability to do this for myself.""
