Lucy Higgins

Coach Trainer | Career & Leadership Coach | Specialist in Matrescence & Identity Transformation

Lucy Higgins is a warm, dynamic coach trainer whose practice blends psychological depth, sociological insight, and practical wisdom. She brings over a decade of experience supporting women—particularly mothers—through significant personal and professional transitions, helping them rediscover who they are and who they want to become.

Drawing on a background in philosophy and sociology, Lucy is particularly skilled at illuminating the unseen systems and stories that shape a client’s reality. Her coaching specialises in the themes of identity, matrescence, authentic leadership, and career reinvention. She works with mothers navigating the pressures of corporate life, women returning to work after maternity leave, and leaders balancing ambition with wellbeing. She also supports high-achieving clients across industries such as tech, pharmaceuticals, and education.

Lucy’s facilitation style is often described as deeply inclusive and emotionally attuned. She holds space with a calm, grounded presence—creating what she calls a “campfire environment” where learners feel both safe and stretched. She’s intuitive, compassionate, and not afraid to challenge when it’s in service of growth.

Her work is informed by diverse frameworks including Transactional Analysis, Polyvagal Theory, Positive Intelligence, and systemic coaching. Whether walking with a client in the Chilterns forest or guiding a group online, Lucy brings her full self to the space—humorous, curious, and always in service of deeper transformation.

With a talent for managing group dynamics and a gift for making everyone feel seen, Lucy creates learning environments that are rich, thoughtful, and grounded in the real challenges of being human. Her coaching and teaching don’t just build skills—they spark meaningful shifts in perspective.
