About me

Feeling stuck in your career since becoming a parent? Wondering what you want from work now?

I help working parents navigate career and life transitions with greater clarity, confidence and direction.

Whether you're returning to work after maternity leave, questioning whether your current career still fits, considering a career change or promotion, or simply feeling stuck and unsure what comes next, I'll help you work out what you want and turn that into practical next steps.

I particularly support working parents who are:

• Returning to work after maternity leave and wanting to rebuild their confidence
• Questioning whether their current career still fits the person they are now
• Considering a career change, promotion or new direction
• Struggling with self-doubt, feeling stuck or unsure what they want next
• Trying to balance career ambition with family life and changing priorities
• Looking for work that feels more aligned with their values, strengths and life now

My approach is practical, supportive and tailored to you. I create space for you to think, reflect and gain perspective, while helping you turn insight into meaningful, achievable next steps.

Training, qualifications & experience

I'm an EMCC-accredited coach with over five years' experience supporting people through career and life transitions.

I also hold an MSc in Health Psychology and BSc in Psychology, which inform my approach to coaching, particularly my work around confidence, identity, values and behaviour change.

My professional background spans healthcare, corporate and third-sector environments, giving me first-hand insight into the realities of navigating demanding careers alongside changing priorities and family life.

My coaching is practical, supportive and focused on helping you move from reflection to meaningful action.

Additional information

Not sure whether coaching is right for you?

I offer a complimentary introductory call where we can talk through what's currently going on for you, what you'd like to change and whether coaching could help.

There's no obligation to book. It's simply an opportunity to ask questions, get a feel for how I work and decide whether we're a good fit.

If you're ready to explore what's next, I'd love to hear from you.

Client Testimonials 

"The impact your coaching has had on me truly feels like magic. You have been such an incredible person to work with, and I can’t thank you enough for helping me find clarity among the million questions that were spinning in my head"

Accountant and mum

"From our very first conversation, Lucy set a tone of trust and genuine interest, which allowed me to explore challenges and opportunities in depth without feeling judged. Her listening skills are exceptional. Lucy doesn’t just hear what is said, she listens for meaning, asks clarifying questions, and reflects back insights that often illuminated things I hadn’t fully recognised myself"

NHS Leader

Working with Lucy has been such a lovely experience. She is such a warm, compassionate, and understanding person, and it has been a real pleasure working with her.

Alongside that, Lucy is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at what she does. She has a real talent for listening and reflecting things back in a way that brings clarity and new perspective. Our sessions helped me gain a much clearer understanding of my thoughts and next steps, and I always came away feeling more focused and confident.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a thoughtful, insightful, and supportive coach.
