About Lucy

Embark Founder, Lucy Parker, is a trained and qualified counsellor, psychotherapist, coach, yoga teacher, meditation teacher and breath-work facilitator.  She works primarily through the IFS (Internal Family Systems) modality of therapy.

A widow, wife and mother, she describes herself as a “living breathing human becoming - embarking on my own journey many years ago and continuing to bear witness to the adventure.” 

Lucy began working privately with clients in 2010 as a yoga, breath-work and meditation teacher. She added in her training and experience as a counsellor and coach in 2022 to work with the whole human condition, body, mind and spirit.

Working therapeutically with hundreds of clients has taught her one key thing:

“We are all ultimately searching for health, to feel truly whole.”

Registered through the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), Lucy has been awarded a level 7 Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching from the University of East London. This unique, pioneering model takes a fully integrated 360-degree view of every person, seamlessly and progressively exploring their past, present and future dynamics within the therapy space. She is a Level 1 Trained IFS Therapist and has already signed up for Level 2!

“Our bodies are much more than ‘taxis for our brains’. That’s why my personal approach to counselling respects and validates our bodies as much as our minds, head, heart, belly & spirit.”
