Ms Charlene Lucas

Registered Psychologist

“Registered Psychologist and Certified Master Traumatologist focused on workplace mental health, organizational behavior, trauma, abuse, burnout, stabilization of emotions, loss or grief, and women empowerment. "Helping survivors of sexual abuse and violence heal."”

About Me

I help survivors of sexual abuse and violence to heal. I offer compassionate support for those navigating profound trauma, burnout, or loss. We work together to stabilise overwhelming emotions, finding practical ways to reclaim clarity and strength. My approach is particularly suited for individuals seeking to build resilience and empower themselves. Sessions provide a safe, focused space to process experiences and foster lasting emotional well-being.

Approach

Work is centred on steadying intense emotions and helping you reclaim clarity after traumatic or workplace-related wounds. In Manila or online, in English or Tagalog, sessions feel focused and paced—calm grounding, short evidence-informed tasks, and space to tell what matters without being pushed. Between meetings I offer simple practical tools and brief check-ins to track safety and momentum while we untangle memories, roles, and burnout patterns. This way suits those seeking steady, practical support to build resilience and restore agency.
