Hello, I’m Lucille (she/her).

I’m a Relationship & Sex Therapist, Behavioural Scientist and Writer based in beautiful Sydney, Australia.

My goal is to provide an inclusive, warm and welcoming space where you can feel seen, heard and understood. A place where you can share your experiences free from judgement. I’m told the difference in my approach is that I use a mixture of counselling and psychoeducation in sessions which provides you with the space to process your experiences and emotions, while also giving you the skills and tools to navigate the road ahead. 

This is a space where you can be real, you can be messy, you can be fully human. I'm not a therapist who just sits and nods but rather I will engage with you, I will explore with you and I will guide you through activities and give you tools to support your growth.

I love what I do and am passionate about creating a space where you can be totally yourself. I am trained in lots of different modalities (which are included on the ‘about’ page) but at the end of the day, I know from personal experience that finding a therapist is more about finding someone you click with, so if you'd like to learn more about me or do a vibe check, please head over to my Instagram or TikTok @lucille.shackleton or book in for a free 15-minute consult. 

With love,

Lucille
