About Lucy

My name is Lucy Garbett (she/they). I’m a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Licensed Counselling Therapist, and Certified Grief-Informed Professional. I began my counselling work in 2022, following several years as a crisis responder with Crisis Text Line and Kids Help Phone.

​

My path into this work is personal. I’ve lived with anxiety (both general and social), panic attacks, depression, suicidality, grief, trauma, phobias, anxious attachment, and chronic health concerns including PMDD, fatigue, pain, and recurrent infections. Therapy became a way for me to learn how to live more fully — and eventually, a way to give back to the community that has supported me throughout my life. I bring that lived understanding into the room with care and humility.

​

I identify as genderfluid (she/they) and greysexual, and I am sex-positive and kink- and poly-affirming. Whether you’re well-grounded in your identity or still exploring what feels true for you, you will be met with openness, respect, and genuine curiosity. I aim to offer a space where you don’t need to explain or defend who you are.

​

I also live with chronic illness, including POTS and symptoms consistent with dysautonomia. Much of my life was spent pushing through without understanding what my body was carrying, which deeply informs how I work with clients navigating illness, fatigue, pain, or uncertainty around their health. You don’t need to justify your experience here — I understand how layered and complex it can be.

​

My work is trauma-informed and deeply person-centred. Where you lead, I follow. Sessions are conversational, gentle, and grounded, with room for creativity, mindfulness, metaphor, and nervous-system-aware care. If you’re feeling stuck, worn down, or unsure how to move forward, we can take things one step at a time — together.

​

I offer free virtual consultations, and sessions can be in person, virtual, or a mix of both to support your accessibility needs. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. I’d be honoured to meet you and hear your story.
