A crisis in our lives can leave us feeling as though things have fallen apart. As though the very ground that we stand on is no longer safe enough to hold us. Our first impression at these times is to see this as something wrong, that needs fixing. This may include the breakdown of an important relationship, or the death of a loved one.
There may be a change in our personal or professional circumstances, leaving us feeling uncertain about who we thought we were. Many of the clients who come to see me find that in holding these moments of crisis, they are able to see what is asking to be seen or heard amongst the feelings of pain or confusion.

My name is Lucas Teague, I have a private practice in Brick Lane, close to Liverpool Street and Spitalfields. I specialise in offering an holistic approach in the treatment of depression, anxiety, bereavement, and addictions. This means working with all aspects of your experience, including mind, body and spirit as a means of helping you understand the underlying issues related to these difficulties.
Psychotherapy can offer the space to explore how our past experiences have come to shape our thoughts and feelings about ourselves and the world we live in. This may include the desire to learn more about ourselves or a significant relationship; or we may find ourselves feeling anxious, fearful or ashamed for no apparent reason.
People who have had psychotherapy often feel that it has helped them to clarify a particular issue, open up a deeper level of meaning in their lives; or understand who they are in terms of their family history. As well as providing a significant reduction in the symptoms that brought them into therapy in the first place.
I offer no time restrictions on how long someone may feel they need to be in therapy. As a psychotherapist I offer open ended sessions that are specifically tailored to an individual's needs. I am based in The Therapeutic Rooms, The Courtyard House, 170 Brick Lane, London E1 6RU. The rooms are purpose built for the use of therapy, which means they are quiet, confidential and comfortable.
No two clients are the same, therefore it is important that the therapy is tailored to suit your needs. Through my integrative training I am able to work creatively in meeting those needs. My interest lies in how our lived experience from the past can impact the present. This can often present itself in our relationships, self-image and self-beliefs.

I started working with Lucas to help me overcome various issues I had been struggling with over a number of years. I didn't realise it, but many of the issues that were impacting me internally, which also manifested themselves externally, developed at a very young age. Lucas helped me get clarity around those issues at their core and really helped me develop a sense of myself I didn't realise existed. From that new foundation I've been able to be true to who I am and now also true to others. That really helped me lay a foundation of strength in my life instead of one built on fear and control.

I met with Lucas over a period of several months. I was going through probably the hardest time of my life, suffering from depression, extremely low self-esteem, self-harming and suicidal thoughts following a traumatic life event. I felt comfortable talking to Lucas; it was easy to open up and tell him my innermost thoughts without fear of judgement, in a safe, caring environment and quickly we developed a healthy relationship through which to tackle my issues. Through my darkest times of complete self-hatred where I only saw one way out, he was able to help me identify a grain of self-love that

I worked with Lucas for 8 months and He really helped me a lot working on my fears and my poor self-confidence. I started the counselling mostly for my problems with relationships and in the same time I started to date my actual boyfriend. I was very scared and full of questions and I really believe that Lucas and the counselling contributed to build my relationship when it was so fragile in its beginning. Me and my boyfriend We recently celebrated 1 year that we live together.
I think Lucas is really professional, giving the right space and in the same time the humanity to feel confident to completely

Lucas was very welcoming when we first met and since then, has continued to provide a safe and comforting environment. The journey that I have gone through has felt somewhat transformative and Lucas had helped me to unlock the potential and power within myself. Without his support, I wouldn’t be in the position I am in now and I am truly grateful for his kindness, throughout. Towards the end of my journey, I truly felt that Lucas has been instrumental in enabling me to identify the person I want to be and I feel proud to be able to say that I have reached the end of a chapter; embracing my experiences

"I went to Lucas with a number of issues, some very long standing with which I felt well and truly stuck. The sessions I had with him were sometimes challenging, sometimes profound but always felt safe. They – and he supported me greatly in taking charge of the things I had been struggling with and feeling affirmed in my ability to do this for myself."

"Lucas worked with me for over a year to address crippling, lifelong issues. I was obsessed with an ex-partner, emotionally numb, full of self-loathing and profoundly lonely, yet unable to start a new relationship or move forward in life because I felt toxic and worthless.
Lucas helped me to see how my addictive behaviour, relationship patterns, shame and self-loathing came from childhood wounds, and how I could heal by learning to connect with my lost inner child, love myself unconditionally and feel all my feelings.
