Dr Lucy Hall-Payne

Clinical Psychologist

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when it involves opening up about personal challenges. That’s why choosing the right psychologist is essential. Research shows that the strongest indicator of positive therapeutic outcomes is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. My approach is warm, compassionate and respectful. I prioritise building rapport, ensuring that clients feel safe and supported as they explore a wide range of difficulties. I am passionate about providing a holistic approach to mental health.

While I have substantial experience working across the lifespan, my specialist areas include attachment, working with children, couples, families, and individuals who have experienced trauma, including developmental and complex trauma. I have also provided support to looked after children, foster carers, and young people involved in the criminal justice system.

I hold a Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, accredited by the British Psychological Society. I am also registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
