Services
ADHD coaching is available for those seeking support for ADHD symptoms. Coaching is about tangible actions, goals, and accountability. You do not need a diagnosis to access coaching sessions and the government scheme for funding is accepted on behalf of your employer or as an individual, personal grant.
What makes it even better? Lucy is a late-diagnosed ADHD female, mother and wife and is completely relatable to connect with. Lucy lives with her neurodivergent family and understands the frustrations, communication challenges and advocacy skills required to tackle the neurotypical norms around us all - including school and workplace.
Individual and couple sessions are available to provide a confidential and non judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. Talking therapy is for anyone who is going through a bad time or has emotional problems that they require help with. The overlap within neurodiversity is real. Lucy Hine is a Neurodivergent (ADHD) Therapist and is qualified in Adaptive Therapy for Autistic Adults (ATAA). Sessions are created with flexibility to suit your schedule.
Sessions are designed to support clients with their mental health challenges. Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness and enhanced state of awareness used to treat medical and psychological problems. Sessions can be funded by an employer or purchased by an individual.
Training courses are available for your workplace covering a range of options across the adult and youth sector including:
Understanding ADHD and Mental Health
FAA Supervising and Leading Mental Health
Lucy is super proud of her CPD accredited training course Understanding ADHD and Mental Health which is consistently in demand across workplaces - including schools, hospitals and working partners.
Testimonials are available to view and read across Instagram and LinkedIn.
Complementary Healing
Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. It can balance your energy, support healing and complement other treatments. Sessions are created for new (and most commonly) existing clients and used to help treat anxiety, depression, chronic pain, ADHD and autism.

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you find the site easy to navigate and understand the services provided within it. If in any doubt please contact me and ask the question!. I would really love to hear from you.
Around 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem yet the shame and silence associated to it can be just as bad for a person as the mental health problem itself. Your attitude towards mental health could change someone's life. Sometimes the fear of saying the wrong thing or not knowing what to say can cause you to hold back - even though you desperately want to help.
The main objective of Have A Word is to educate and support people in understanding the importance of our mental health by providing training courses, private therapy and coaching sessions for those aged 15 and above.
I am a proud ADHD - brained female entrepreneur based in St Albans, Hertfordshire and founded the business in 2018 whilst I was working for a large airline, part time. My side hustle quickly became my main focus and at the beginning of 2020 I was in a position to proudly offer my services full time to all - everyone is welcomed here!
I have had a passion for people and psychology for as long as I can remember. I find us all fascinating! Working within the aviation and travel industry for sixteen years gave me a lot of opportunities to work with difference. I recognise and appreciate the uniqueness of us all and promote social inclusion whilst embracing individuality. It is with pride that I sit within the Neurodiverse community to advocate self-empowerment, happiness and confidence. You have the power to change your life for the better, especially by embracing your difference.
Psychoeducational therapy and coaching sessions are in-demand, yet wildly under supported. It is with passion and enthusiasm that I have created flexible sessions to help normalise the variations of mental health support because I believe that you should not have to wait to speak with a trained professional and, that diverse psychological therapies should become more readily available as much as possible.
To all clients past, present and future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you! Thank you for being part of my life story so far.

Hirschsprung Disease and survived against the odds. This book showcases her highs and lows, detailing the career and family she’s built. Anyone reading will come away understanding the importance of talking about health in a positive way, and never underestimating what you’re capable of."

Learning takes place across manageable sessions. Through a mix of group activities, presentations and discussions, each session is built around a Mental Health First Aid action plan. Research and evaluation shows that taking part in an MHFA course will raise awareness in mental health literacy, reduce stigma surrounding mental ill health, boost knowledge and confidence in dealing with mental health issues and promote early intervention which enables recovery.
