Life is full of transitions. And change can enrich our lives. It can also bring loss and sadness. The process of change can be messy and uncomfortable and can impact our emotional wellbeing. Dr Luci Falconer is a Clinical Psychologist with 18 years of experience in the field of mental health and wellbeing. Luci’s aim is to offer a space where you can talk about what you are experiencing in a way that supports new insights and develops skills to help you through the change process. Luci has a warm, non-judgement and compassionate style and uses an integrated therapy approach to support you to reach your goals.
