Meet our Tweed Psychologist:
Lucas Prichard

Lucas is a registered psychologist and clinical psychology registrar with a particular interest in psycho-oncology (cancer psychology), existential psychotherapies, and end of life in addition to other areas such as anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, and grief and loss.

He has worked across both hospital and private-practice settings. Lucas has experience in providing evidenced-based psychological treatments with varying presentations across the lifespan. Lucas has supported patients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, grief and loss, existential concerns, persistent pain, and chronic illness including cancer.

More about Lucas

Lucas believes that at its core, the therapeutic relationship is a human interaction offering the potential for deeper insight into our shared and flawed humanity. This relationship can be utilized to affect meaningful change through addressing pervasive and dysfunctional patterns and their origins, and subsequently building one’s capacity to navigate life’s challenges whatever they be. The same can be said irrespective of one’s lived history or present circumstances. A dignified, meaningful, and effective life is an attainable goal for all.
