Welcome from Lucy
Creative Coaching Conversations
I delight in offering coaching to people who want time for a safe, confidential and imaginative conversation about doing something new or becoming who you're made to be in a new way. In my coaching sessions, I deliberately curate space for embodied creative thinking and invite engagement with different mediums including metaphor, visual art, music, craft, poetry or body movement. By experimenting with activities that light up the right side of our brains, I see people step into greater openness to thinking about things in new ways.
My Story
Over the last 30 years, I have worked in care work, speech and language therapy, community building, volunteering, singing in a band, lay worship leading OutoftheBox storytelling, Art of Hosting facilitation and ministered within the C of E over the last 10 years as an ordained pioneer. I trained in 2022 with 3D Coaching, with whom I continue to engage in supervision and began working as a certified life coach holding to ICF guidelines. I particularly enjoy coaching local community members who want to make changes in their lives. My 25 years of experience of different types of leadership in the C of E, gives me an understanding of working with both lay and ordained leaders of established church contexts and pioneering contexts. I appreciate neurodivergence and how it may often be at work offering creative thinking skills, particularly in the world of pioneering.
Through coaching conversations, I have seen people take courage to choose change and growth for themselves in often very challenging circumstances. The life and freedom that follows is delightful to see! I am convinced that the presence that some of us call God breathes through all this kind of work.

"I want to thank you so much for all the help you've given me, for the space and time for me to be able to reflect and process. It's been a huge gift to my ministry"
Marion, local resident and participant in Poverty Truth Commission
"Talking and being outside has reset the day. Simply moving away from the every day made a difference"
Donna, C of E Vicar
"Life feels a lot more manageable"
"In the same way that a dance progresses using steps forwards and backwards, sharing and preserving the space, a conversation includes words and silences, speaking and listening, statements and questions. There is consent and there is partnership"
Kathryn Mannix, 2021
