Lucie Andersen-Wood is a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society in the United Kingdom. She originally trained in both the UK and the USA, where she worked as a Speech Pathologist and Psychologist for the State of Nevada. In addition, she is qualified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, and Internal Family Systems Therapist.

Lucie has held senior academic positions at De Montfort University and the University of Birmingham and has conducted research on attachment and adoption at the Institute of Psychiatry in London. She has authored multiple publications on communication, as well as child development and disorders.

Empowering individuals to reframe their internal narratives—whether related to trauma, psychosis, relationship challenges, anxiety, addiction, or suicidality—has been central to her work in both the NHS and private practice. Based in Hertfordshire, UK, but calling Morocco her second home, Lucie combines her expertise in Psychological healing with her passions for education, architecture, and storytelling.

In Marrakech, Lucie and her partner, Mike Wood, renovate and manage traditional riad-hotels, blending heritage preservation with design innovation. Together, they co-founded the Henna Café, a charitable education initiative that offers over 28 classes weekly. They also established a storytelling venue in the medina, aimed at empowering marginalized groups through the power of healing stories and reviving Marrakech’s rich storytelling traditions.

A firm believer in the transformative power of storytelling, Lucie views stories as tools for learning, connection, personal growth, and healing. She is passionate about their potential to enrich individuals, strengthen communities, and inspire global change.
