Dr. Lucy Wood , D. Clin. Psy (UK)

My role as a Clinical Psychologist affords me the privilege to be able to offer authentic, empathetic and reasoned support, coupled with an equally diverse range of approaches and philosophies, to those I encounter on their own unique journey to personal fulfilment and wellbeing.

Born and educated in the UK, I was a Clinical Psychologist working both in the NHS and private sectors working 18 years old and above adults across their lifespan. I have 14 years’ experience working in the field of mental wellbeing and mental health, initially being based in the UK before moving to live and work in the Middle East. During this time, I have specialised in working with many psychological difficulties, working with both individuals and couples to formulate, treat and support my clients as needed.
