It’s Time…

What if you could be a great educator and still have a life that feels like your own? You became an educator for a reason. Somewhere between the demands, expectations and needs of everyone around you, it can be easy to lose sight of that reason — and of yourself. Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck or simply wondering if there’s a better way. It’s time to pause. It’s time to reconnect with what matters to you. It’s time to create a way of working and living that feels right for you — on your terms. Because having a fulfilling life doesn’t necessarily mean leaving education. Sometimes it means changing the way you work, setting different boundaries, finding a better balance or simply giving yourself permission to put yourself back on the list. Whatever your next chapter looks like, it’s time to make it yours.

What's Keeping You Up At 3am?

Are you lying awake wondering…

“How can I keep doing a job I love without it taking over my life?”

“Why am I constantly putting everyone else first?”

“How do I get back the time and energy for the things that matter to me?”

“Is this how teaching has to feel?”

Or perhaps you’re wondering whether something needs to change — you’re just not sure what.

Because the truth is, you can love education and still want more from your life.

You can care deeply about your pupils, your colleagues and the difference you make, while also wanting time for your family, your relationships, your passions, your health and simply… yourself.

And you don’t necessarily need to leave teaching to make that happen.

Sometimes the change starts with your mindset. Sometimes it’s boundaries, priorities or the way you’re approaching work. Sometimes it’s a bigger change in your role or career.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer.

Coaching gives you the space to step away from the noise, reconnect with your values and your why, and explore what you really want — without someone else telling you what you should do.

It’s time to stop simply fitting your life around your work and start creating a way of working that fits the life you want.

I'm here to:
Help you reconnect with yourself and your why — because the answers you’re searching for are already within
Create space to pause, reflect and explore what truly matters to you
Ask thought-provoking questions that help you uncover your priorities and create a life that feels balanced and fulfilling

My Story

I know teacher life. Because I’ve lived it.

I spent 20 years working in primary education, and I loved so much about being a teacher. The relationships, the children, the difference you can make — there’s a reason so many of us choose this profession in the first place.

But I also knew the other side of it.

The long days. The constant demands. The feeling that there was never quite enough time or energy left for the people and things that mattered outside of school.

I reached a point where I knew something needed to change.

For me, that meant leaving permanent teaching, co-founding a teaching supply business with my husband and building a coaching career alongside it. It has allowed me to create more flexibility, freedom and balance in my own life — while still staying connected to the world of education that I care so deeply about.

But leaving teaching isn’t the answer for everyone.

You may love your job and simply want to find a way for it to work better alongside the life you want.

You might need different boundaries. More balance. A change in role. More confidence to put yourself first. Or perhaps you’re wondering whether a completely different path is calling you.

There is no right answer. There is only the answer that is right for you.

That’s where coaching comes in.

I’m here to help educators step away from the noise, reconnect with their values and their why, and explore what they really want — so they can make conscious choices about their work and their life.

I’m a qualified Integrative Coach, with a Diploma in Integrative Coaching from an ICF-accredited provider, and I bring my own experience of education, change and creating a life on my own terms to every coaching conversation.

My roots are in education. My passion is helping educators create a life that feels like theirs.

It’s time to explore what’s possible.

It's Time to Align

A year-long coaching journey for educators

Using The Educator Tree as a reflective framework, we’ll regularly pause to explore your wellbeing, workload, relationships, professional growth and sense of fulfilment. Together, we’ll identify patterns, celebrate progress and make intentional adjustments so that you can thrive both personally and professionally.

Rather than waiting until you’re overwhelmed, this journey provides ongoing support, reflection and accountability throughout the academic year.

testimonials

When I first met Lucy, I felt straight away that I was able to be honest and talk without judgement. She was very patient and told me lots of information about what the next couple of weeks may hold. After this my sessions began, the sessions were for roughly around 45 mins – 1 hr and I feel I have come out the other side of these sessions as a different woman. My first week we talked about goals I would like to achieve and one of them was to find my voice again and to be heard. Being a worrier, I always pushed aside my feelings to cater for others and the build up of this had made me forget who I truly was. Lucy asked me questions which only I could answer, and it was like someone had turned my light back on. Lucy supported me through tears, through weeks where I challenged myself to be more confrontational to others and weekly she supported the old me return. Coaching made me feel uplifted and that it was perfectly fine to have feelings and listen to the voice in my head which is guiding me to do more for myself. It helped me not brush aside my feelings and intuition. Thankyou Lucy for all your hard work, I would recommend Lucy and her coaching sessions. This lady and her skills are amazing.

Working with Lucy was enormously helpful. She supported me in working through some tricky decisions, helped me to recognise barriers to my thinking and gave me the confidence to make choices about my next steps. Lucy took a thoughtful and considered approach to our sessions. She took the time to listen and understand and gently encouraged me to formulate the answers to my own questions.
