Receiving the news that your child has a diagnosis of any sort of disability or additional need can feel like being hit by a ton of bricks. Even if you had your suspicions, seeing it written down can make it all feel very real, and incredibly overwhelming.

You might find yourself experiencing a wave of emotions such as sadness, anxiety, grief, guilt, anger… or all of them at once. This is a normal human response, and there is no “right” way to feel.

I offer counselling specifically for parents and carers who are navigating the emotional impact of a new diagnosis. I have lived experience of this myself as a parent. Together, we can begin to gently process what you’re feeling, and explore a way forward that feels manageable and supportive for you and your family.

Whether you need space to talk, cry, reflect, or simply breathe I’m here for you.

In-person in Cheltenham or online sessions.

Parenting a Child with a Disability…..
It’s full of love, but also incredibly hard. You might be juggling therapies, appointments, endless paperwork… while carrying silent grief, exhaustion, and guilt. It’s a kind of stress that few truly understand.
So many parents feel they have to stay strong, for everyone else.

But who supports you?
As a counsellor who works with parents of children with disabilities, I offer a space where you can breathe, talk honestly, and feel heard, without any judgment or pressure.
Together, we can explore the tough emotions, build coping tools, and help you reconnect with your own needs and strengths.

You don’t have to carry this alone.
Online or in-person in Cheltenham.

A lot of people wonder what counselling actually involves, and that’s completely understandable.

Counselling is a space just for you.
A time to pause, reflect, and explore what’s going on in your world, without judgment or pressure.

It’s not about giving advice or fixing you……..you’re not broken.
It’s about supporting you as you make sense of things, whether that’s grief, stress, depression, anxiety, or simply feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Together, we might explore:
What’s feeling difficult right now
What’s shaped your experiences
What you need, and how to move forward

Counselling can be short-term or longer-term, online or in-person. It’s your space and at your pace.

If you’re curious but not sure, that’s okay too. Feel free to message me, I’m always happy to answer questions.

Warm wishes,
Lucy

I have a particular interest in supporting parents or carers who have a child with a disability, a journey that often brings a unique mix of love, pressure, grief, and resilience. I can offer you space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to find your own way forward. I have personal experience of parenting a child, who is now an adult, with severe physical and learning disabilities and therefore I can show you compassion and understanding from a place of lived experience. Please take a look at my website lucystherapyspace.co.uk for more details.
