Throughout her roles Lu has learned a variety of models and approaches to therapy; although predominantly using an Integrative approach, she is additionally qualified and experienced in therapeutic models including Humanistic, CBT, DBT, ACT, Solution-Focused, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Lu brings systematic understanding into therapeutic work, acknowledging the importance of encompassing all of the aspects of a person's life.

Lu has developed specialisms in working with individuals to achieve their goals, think about unpleasant and difficult experiences and, crucially, helping people to recognising their strengths and resilience. She recognises that no two people’s needs and personal experiences are the same and a more fluid approach to therapy is required and can be adapted as the therapeutic relationship develops as the intricacies of a person’s needs and situation are met.
