Health News - "Psychic" Lucia Nella to "heal" victims of child abuse

A “PSYCHIC” from Highgate will walk on to a stage at a public rally in Trafalgar Square on Saturday and use her powers to “heal” victims of child abuse.

Lucia Nella, who lives in Stoneleigh Terrace, claims her spiritual system of “Emotional Timeline Healing” (ETH) helps those suffering from serious trauma.

The trick is to make people reinterpret their bad experiences, according to the 51-year-old, who says she wants to distance herself from wacky American-style “public healings” and the stereotype of psychic readings.

Ms Nella said: “I do not believe in that kind of healing event, which are religiously-led.

I am not religious at all.

I am not going to raise my hand and everyone will be healed.

It will be an interaction on a verbal level with individuals who want to take part.

“Everyone is psychic – it’s not just me. I just happen to be more open to it.

“Being psychic and ‘tuning in’ has allowed me, over the years, to gather a wealth of knowledge about the human emotional make-up and create a very effective system that resolves issues at the very core.”

The difference between ETH and traditional modes of therapy – such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which helps victims of depression see a brighter side of life – is that it probes what Ms Nella describes as a person’s “emotional field”.

While most will dismiss this as mumbo jumbo or witchcraft, Ms Nella claims she has helped hundreds of people overcome their problems during 15 years of practice at her home.

“If people are sceptical and do not want to experience this, they do not have to,” she said.

“It’s quite simple, really. I help those who want to release something.

“We talk about what emotions are being brought up.

Then at this point, the psychic can pick up on what needs to be healed.”

Brought up in a Catholic family in a village near Milan, Ms Nella moved to London and later enrolled on a Tarot card reading course at Mysteries, a shop in Monmouth Street, Covent Garden.

She later worked for Mysteries, using the special cards to tap into people’s hopes and fears.

“I’ve always been like this, really,” she said.

“As a child, I would see things and think I was hallucinating.

In my late 20s I picked up a pack of [Tarot] cards. The cards help you reconnect with your own psyche.

You feel what they are telling you.”

Hundreds of people are expected to attend the rally for child abuse victims, which will raise awareness and bring together adult victims.

Members of the public will be invited to take the stand to voice their views and share their stories.

The event will be recorded by documentary film-makers Pie’n’Mash Films.

Ms Nella added: “I don’t want to be considered the main event and I am not sure precisely how it will go.

It is a great privilege to be invited.

It gives me a rare chance to help people still suffering from the effects of childhood abuse.

“It’s also an opportunity to put my skills to the test and, I hope, awaken people to the idea that healing past traumas really is possible.”
