Clarity from the first session

“I cannot begin to describe the clarity of what I have processed and extracted from the first session. And perhaps the biggest revelation is that Lucy somehow enabled me to discover these for myself!?  I actually found the session increasingly cathartic and quite emotional as we continued to explore the way my mind and thoughts were structured. 

I had an inkling that I may suffer from imposter syndrome, and this ever-sinking feeling that I wasn’t really good enough, and that other people could always do it better. This conversation really enabled me to explore this concept and the idea that I have a destructive or inhibiting inner mentor. It was incredibly helpful to be able to weave backwards and forwards between my past, present and future, this was something that I hadn’t done before”

Like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders

“I am feeling very empowered by our sessions. Afterwards, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and like I’m able to better see solutions. I feel like some of the things I’ve been struggling with have become untangled through our dialogue. Lucy's repeating things back to me has been incredibly helpful, as I can hear it in a different way. It also helps me to better clarify discrepancies in what I’m saying. Lucy's manner is very warm and affirming. I feel like I have her full attention and it’s us against whatever we are discussing. I appreciate how present she is with me in the conversation. I also really appreciated the introduction to transactional analysis. It’s been such a helpful suggestion/eye-opener.”

Lucy brings clarity where I feel fogginess

“Each session with Lucy is like a story. They're perfectly structured and I come away with something beautiful, brilliant and out-of-the-blue to think about.  I feel we’re relaxed with each other. I totally trust Lucy. Her level of engagement is perfect for me. I feel I need to be steered and Lucy is very intuitive in how she responds to my needs in the session. The way she shapes the session is beautifully done. I really feel that there is a beginning, middle and end. Lucy keeps me on a clear path, and I feel she brings clarity where I feel fogginess. In our last session, the way Lucy drew us to the end  – tying up lots of the thoughts and images – felt natural and unforced. Very satisfying, while still offering me things to think about.”

I have never felt so heard

“Lucy, you have a gift. I have never felt so listened to and heard. Lucy managed to ask all the right questions, at just the right time, with kindness and grace. Although I became emotional in most of our sessions, I came away clearer and stronger, knowing exactly what steps to take next. I have already implemented some of the strategies that Lucy suggested and feel content knowing what is in my control and what is not.”

A fantastic and humorous coach

“The coaching Lucy gave me came at the right time in my life. I was at the point where I had big decisions to make (both professionally and personally) but I was putting off making them. Lucy has been a fantastic humorous coach; she has taught me how to look at all options in my life and I have developed skills to approach them with a positive approach at the same time being realistic. I loved Lucy’s approach which allowed me to come to my own decisions with just the right amount of input from her. I had so many eureka moments during our sessions and now I can’t understand why I placed so many barriers in front of myself. An added bonus is Lucy’s in-depth experience of the education system which has helped me to secure a temporary coordinator job in my department. It was great to have someone who really understood my journey.
I have a new outlook on life; I am happy and more confident that I can achieve all the goals I set myself.”
