NLP · IEMT · clinical hypnotherapy · Bristol & online
I’m Lucy Fey. I work with anxiety, panic and phobias — with adults, teenagers and children, in Knowle or online.
01 — What I work with
Anxiety turns up differently in different people, so I don’t run one script. These are the areas I work with most often.
You don’t have to name it perfectly before we speak. If yours isn’t on the list, ask me.
Worry that keeps going after the thing it was about has finished, and a body that stays switched on.
Sudden fear that arrives with a physical force, often somewhere you would rather not be.
The one thing you build the week around avoiding, and the work it takes to keep avoiding it.
Support for people living with the effects of trauma, at a pace that is yours, alongside whatever else you have in place.
Nothing is wrong exactly, but something could be different: confidence, direction, the way you talk to yourself.
Children and teenagers
I work with all ages, including children, and I taught in a primary school for 17 years before this. There is a section about that below.
02 — The Reword
Nothing here is magic and nothing gets erased. The sentences you arrive with are the sentences we work with — we just change the order they come in.
Lucy’s own description of NLP is that structured language makes change easier. In a session that looks like conversation: what you want to be different, how you describe it now, and then the same description said back to you a little differently. No new facts are invented. The order changes, and the words land where you can use them.
Integral Eye Movement Therapy uses specific language while guiding eye movements, with the aim of reducing the emotional impact of an unhelpful pattern of thought, feeling or behaviour.
Which of the three we use — NLP, IEMT or hypnotherapy — is decided together, and it can change as we go.
“Everyone has the ability and resources within them to be successful.”
03 — How it works
No forms to fill in, no package to sign up to. This is the shape of it, from the first phone call onwards.
You ring or email, and we arrange a call. It costs nothing and it commits you to nothing. Ask anything you like — including whether I am the right person for this, because that matters more than anything else here.
We set a goal for what you want to be different, then look at what has been keeping it where it is. You will not be asked to explain why you feel a certain way. How you feel, and when, is enough to start.
Mostly my home office in Knowle. Some sessions happen at Wells Road Osteopaths, and plenty happen online by Zoom or Skype, or on the phone. The full address comes with your booking.
It stays open at any point, not just the first. And I will not put a number on how many sessions you need before we have met — anyone who does that on a website is guessing.
04 — For children
A child session runs between 45 minutes and an hour and costs £50. It is shorter than an adult session on purpose, and it is shaped around the age in the room.
05 — Fees
These are my published fees. A free, no-obligation phone call comes before any of it.
NLP, IEMT or hypnotherapy, whichever is useful on the day, and something to work on at home afterwards.
£60
Shorter, and adapted to the age in the room.
£50
For parents and carers. Prices are per person.
£30 a head
Arranged around what your group actually needs.
On request
Payment by cash, PayPal or card. To book, email me or call 07766 200 167.
06 — About Lucy
Fully accredited Master Practitioner of NLP · Integral Eye Movement (IEMT) Practitioner · Clinical Hypnotherapist · Knowle, Bristol
I taught in a primary school for 17 years. Somewhere in there I was dealing with my own anxiety, stress and a lack of confidence in a lot of areas of my life, and a friend suggested I had some NLP, because it had really helped her.
It helped me. I got interested enough to retrain — practitioner first, then Master Practitioner — and a few years later I left teaching altogether to work solely as a therapist. Clinical hypnotherapy came after that, and then IEMT.
I am not corporate, nor am I ethereal. I am professional yet relaxed, kind but good-humoured, sensitive whilst honest. I work from home in Knowle because a comfortable room does half the job, and I see people online as well, which suits plenty of them better.
07 — Reviews
“Lucy, I can’t tell you how good I feel. This has been the best year of my LIFE and you have 100% pushed me into that journey. To have the absolute safety to cry, but then laugh my head off two minutes later is great. I doubt there are many therapists out there like it... You can share a hard and distressing conversation one minute, then be laughing about it the next.”
One review, in full, rather than a wall of stars. Everyone’s experience is different, and no outcome is promised here.
08 — Questions
If yours isn’t here, email me and I’ll answer it.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a set of techniques that work with the language you use about yourself and your situation. Lucy’s description of it is that structured language makes change easier. In practice it is chatty, questioning conversation, and it often starts moving things in the first session.
Integral Eye Movement Therapy. For reasons that are not fully understood, eye movements appear to connect to the part of the brain that stores memories and emotions. IEMT uses specific language while guiding eye movements, aiming to reduce the emotional impact of an unhelpful pattern of thought, feeling or behaviour.
It is different for everyone, and I will not put a number on it before we have met. We review as we go: if it is not doing anything useful, we say so and stop.
Yes. I work with children and teenagers as well as adults. A child session is 45 minutes to an hour and costs £50. Get in touch and we can talk it through first, with or without your child there.
Both. Most sessions happen in my home office in Knowle, some at Wells Road Osteopaths, and plenty online by Zoom or Skype — or on the phone, if that is easier. Whichever you would prefer.
Yes. I keep brief notes to plan the work, stored securely, and I do not share what we discuss. The exceptions are where I believe someone is at risk of serious harm, or where a UK court requires it. I also have regular supervision, where the work is discussed anonymously.
09 — Contact
Ring or email and we will arrange a call. No charge, no obligation, and no need to have worked out what to say first. If I am not able to answer, leave a message with your number and I will come back to you.
Change. It’s easier than you think.
