Lucy Mary Ball

Poet and Somatic Psychotherapist

Lucy Mary Ball is a poet and somatic psychotherapist (MSc MBACP) specialising in embodied trauma healing. Her work is deeply rooted in personal transformation, informed by her own journey from emotional pain to profound spiritual awakening. For over twenty years, Lucy felt lost and disconnected until an inner reckoning in her twenties sparked a relentless quest for healing and self-understanding.

Originally from Scotland, Lucy moved to London to work in the fashion industry. While the contrasts of her new environment initially heightened her emotional turmoil, they also ignited a powerful desire to understand the roots of her suffering. Drawn to spiritual teachings and practices, Lucy gradually uncovered a deep inner joy that far surpassed the darkness she had known.

Today, Lucy runs a private psychotherapy practice, Lucy Mary Psychotherapy, based in London Bridge (N1) and Greenwich (SE10), and works with clients both locally and internationally via Zoom. Her approach blends somatic, relational, internal family systems (IFS), and transpersonal modalities. She walks alongside others on their healing journeys, helping them access the parts of themselves buried beneath trauma, fear, and emotional wounding.

In January 2025, Lucy released her debut poetry collection Summer in October, a soul-stirring compilation of 136 pieces written over three years. The title reflects the essence of her healing philosophy: that when everything you are not falls away, your true self begins to shine. Through her poetry and therapeutic work, Lucy offers a compassionate hand to those navigating their own darkness, reminding them that they are not their pain, but the joy and light they long to return to.
