Accredited Executive and Career Coach specialising in helping women, particularly mothers, find happiness, fulfilment, courage and confidence at work.

What my clients say…

  • Amy Cooper, Director of Teaching & Learning, London

    Lucy has coached me through two maternity leaves, both my returns to work, a job change and a promotion into the Senior Leadership team. She is warm, open and has an extensive knowledge. Coaching with Lucy grounds me in the belief that I can be the mother I want to be, have a fulfilling career and be able to take care of my wellbeing. I would highly recommend her and have done to friends.

  • Sarah Austin, Communications Manager, Hitchen

    I thought coaching might highlight all of my flaws and make me feel not good enough, but it's been the complete opposite. It has opened my eyes to who I am and what my values and strengths are. It's made me realise I am absolutely good enough - I am self aware, confident, competent and successful. All the things I thought I was not. I have learnt to be my own cheerleader and to think about the value I can add to my organisation and to promote myself in the right way. Ultimately it's been a very empowering process and I have achieved more than I could have envisaged in the six sessions.

  • Emily Turnbull, Founder, Berkhamsted

    The experience of being coached by Lucy went beyond my expectations. I hoped I’d come away with more confidence to really forge ahead with my business (which I have) but I got so much more out of it. Thank you for supporting me on my journey to being a braver, more vulnerable and happier human being. I now feel closer to being the real me.

  • Rebecca Lorne, Solicitor, Hertfordshire

    I was looking for a greater sense of focus, purpose and sense of self after many years looking after my children. I definitely achieved this and more. I would highly recommend Lucy. I can’t remember the last time someone was so genuinely engaged in talking about me!

  • Kris Sheppard, Private Banking, London

    Lucy’s main strength is her nurturing, empathetic and all accepting nature - I always feel she just “gets me”. I would recommend Lucy to women who are at a crossroads and want to reconnect with their true selves to lead a more authentic and happier life.
