Lucy Beresford

Lucy Beresford is a psychotherapist, broadcaster and writer with a long-standing focus on relationships, intimacy and emotional wellbeing. With over 20 years of clinical experience, she helps individuals and couples navigate everything from trauma and infidelity to self-worth and life transitions. Her warm, intelligent approach to mental health has made her a trusted voice in the therapy room, on air, and on the page. Lucy’s expertise extends beyond personal relationships into the wider psychological forces that shape our choices. She brings a therapist’s insight to the psychology of beauty, money and luxury, and explores how our emotional lives influence consumer behaviour, brand loyalty and perceptions of value. This breadth of knowledge has led to consultancy work with global brands and FTSE companies, helping them understand what really motivates people in the workplace, the marketplace and at home. Lucy is a versatile speaker and presenter, with recent engagements including a fireside chat for Financial Services executives on The Psychology of Money. As the author of Happy Relationships, Lucy has written widely on sex, love and wellbeing for national publications, and regularly appears on television and radio to analyse current affairs and cultural trends. For nearly four years she hosted her own phone-in show on LBC, offering compassionate, clear-headed advice to listeners in real time. Today, she continues to connect psychological ideas with public life through her podcast Politics On The Couch, where she speaks to politicians and public figures about the role of emotion in leadership and decision-making. Whether working with high achievers, brands, or individuals, Lucy’s work is grounded in a belief that understanding our inner world is key to creating meaningful change. She brings clarity, empathy and practical insight to complex topics, from romantic relationships and self-care to consumer psychology and identity. Photo Credit: A P Wilding
