As an ex-lawyer and qualified Development Coach, I help young professionals overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
My Background
My career began as a lawyer working in the London and Dubai offices of a city law firm before moving in-house at large media companies in London.
I know how life as a young professional can at times seem overwhelming, yet it can be easy to suffer in silence. This inhibits greater development and success and is why I am passionate about helping people fulfil their personal and professional potential.
I truly care about empowering individuals to thrive and co-founded a motivational speaking company which led to me being invited to speak at PWC’s Next Generation ‘Future Leaders’ event. Whilst my legal career had many positives, my desire to help people enhance their lives, combined with my personable and inquisitive nature, brought me to coaching.
I subsequently received my Diploma in transformational coaching, accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Association for Coaching and European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC).
My Clients
Given my background, many of my clients work in law and other professional services, but I also work with a variety of other sectors including young entrepreneurs. As many of my sessions are held over Zoom and, having lived and worked abroad, I have clients based around the world.
I help my clients with a range of professional and/or personal issues, such as imposter syndrome, burnout, career direction and navigating challenging relationships.
If it involves self development, either in or out of work (or both), then my coaching is the answer!

“Lydia has helped me and my team think more clearly and overcome many challenges. One employee described her meetings with Lydia as the best perk that a company has ever given her. I’m always smiling after our sessions and have a clear idea of what I need to do, I know my team feels the same way too.”

“Lydia’s sessions have been such a pivotal influence in my career journey to date. Our uplifting and motivating conversations really helped me realise my potential and reenergise my ambitious drive. Talking about career and life ambitions can often invoke feelings of insecurity and uncertainty, but speaking to Lydia felt easy and natural. I look forward to more of our talks in the future!”

“"Lydia really helped me transform my life in a short span of time. She really got to the root of the problem, posing questions I never thought to ask. Lydia encouraged me to think differently which then made a difference daily. I am so happy to have had these sessions with her and would highly recommend to anyone who is at stalemate with their life or just needs that extra hand to get you to your next step."”

“I found the experience of Lydia’s coaching really useful. She helped me to find clarity and move forward with issues I had been stuck on and ruminating about for some time. Her questions enabled me to consider alternative perspectives which opened up options I had not previously thought about or felt confident enough to explore before. I found her approach to be warm, caring and encouraging. Thank you so much Lydia!”
Lizzy, Civil Service (London)
