Dr Lucy Coonan

"I felt as if I was in incredibly safe hands with Lucy. She was flexible and responded immediately to my needs in any coaching session.  Always listening and responding to me in a way to encourage deep reflection, my experience has been totally positive and I would thoroughly recommend coaching with Lucy."  J.B, Teacher. 

Life is not always straightforward.  We may harbour ambitions to make great change but at the same time we lack confidence, feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about the 'best' next step.  Even though we want to achieve something that matters, it can feel difficult, and our thoughts and feelings get in our way. 

If you can relate to any of these challenges and are ready to make some progress and changes in your life, then I would love to hear from you!  

Hi I'm Lucy, an accredited coach (EMCC, EIA) and chartered psychologist – thank you for reading my profile.  

I work with busy professionals and postgraduates who may be struggling with these issues and want to make some impactful and meaningful changes.  I support my clients to navigate uncertainty, move forward with conviction, and know what to do when difficult thoughts and feelings show up so they can achieve their full potential.

By drawing on evidence based coaching, I help my clients learn simple techniques to help them make progress on goals that were once avoided due to fear, self-doubt or lack of confidence.

• Feel more energised and purposeful to achieve goals that matter to you;
• Re-establish priorities to create more balance and prevent burnout.

"Thank you to Lucy who has worked with me on my overwhelming feelings and negative thoughts to a place where I can recognise them, name them and choose to stay listening or move towards, accepting that they are there but not taking control of my life. Lucy is a great coach and I have made so much progress in a short number of sessions and without her support I would not be so far forward." Laura Postgraduate.
