Life is full of endings and beginnings.
Often, the trickiest place to be is in the middle: when you’ve hit a crossroads, and you don’t know which way to go.
Maybe you're...
Between jobs and unsure of your next move
Dealing with stress or recovering from burnout
Gradually losing enthusiasm for your current role or profession
Thinking: there must be more than this
Realising your work no longer fits your life (location, financial goals, parenthood, etc.)
You're not alone.
As attitudes towards “success” shift, many of us are rethinking what we want from work and life. And luckily, the world of work is more flexible than ever.
But with so much choice, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. You might be asking: is it really possible to have it all? Work that gives me freedom and flexibility, as well as meaning and financial security? And, with so many options, how do I know what’s right for me?
There is a way forward
I know because I’ve been where you are:
stress, burnout, redundancies, stuckness, and all.
I know because I’ve been where you are: stress, burnout, redundancies, stuckness, and all.
After years of working in high-growth startups, I realised I needed a change. With the support of coaching, I left behind what wasn’t serving me, and began the process of creating a life that aligns with my (evolving!) values, purpose, strengths and interests.
- yours.
I realised that I wanted to keep the aspects of my work that I loved (being creative, bringing revolutionary ideas to life), leave behind those I didn’t (tricky founders, ambiguity, stressful environments, financial risk) and create my career on my terms. So I took the leap to go freelance and niche in copywriting.
I’d spent eight years building brands for fast-paced, early-stage startups. It was fun and I learned a lot. But ultimately, I stopped finding it fulfilling or sustainable.
I wouldn’t have made that pivot had it not been for coaching.
I was fascinated by the process and blown away by the results, so with the time and flexibility to follow my curiosity, I decided to train as a coach myself. Now, I enjoy a portfolio career where I get to do multiple things I love.
All of this is why I want to help you. Crossroads is the result of my training in coaching psychology, many interviews and coaching conversations with a diverse group of people navigating career transitions, and my own experiences.
Get clearer on the story of your career—including your next chapter
Gain more confidence in yourself and your decisions
Articulate a vision that feels exciting and motivating
Identify and plan your next steps
If you're ready to...
…then the answer is yes.
I’ll act as your thinking partner, gently guiding you to disentangle your thoughts and feelings, and uncover the answers that are already within you. Together, we’ll find your guiding lights and plot actionable steps that you can start applying right away.
Peeling away the “shoulds”, “can’ts” and “if onlys” to reveal your authentic wants and needs. Expanding your thinking, exploring what’s possible, and experimenting with new ways of being.
Over eight 1:1 coaching sessions, we’ll carve out the space and time for you to reflect and reconnect to your true self.
- A free, 45-minute consultation to understand your unique challenges and goals
- 8 x 60-minute coaching sessions at your pace (weekly or fortnightly)
- A personalised self-knowledge framework to guide you
- Recaps and notes from each session, capturing key insights and action points
- Tools and exercises to help you move forward with confidence, even after we finish working together
What you won’t get
Coaching is not an overnight fix or a step-by-step plan to becoming a millionaire. I’m not here to diagnose you, “fix” you, or bark orders at you. Fundamentally, I’m here to help you get to know yourself—and what you do with that knowledge is up to you.
There are lots of coaches out there who’ll promise to show you the secret to “living your dream” and earning six figures. I’m not one of them.
A clear sense of what should be guiding you in your career
A bigger picture of where you want to be (which could simply be how you want to feel, rather than a specific goal)
A compassionate understanding of the drivers, responses, patterns and beliefs that might be holding you back
A plan of action to move you into your next era (which can be as detailed or as fluid as you like!)
But if you thrive on self-reflection and have faith in the process of growth, by the end of the programme, you’ll have:
What you will get
“I was going through a hugely challenging time in my business and financial life, with a somewhat forced transition to new employment. Talking with Lucia over a period of time has helped me to get more clarity on the things that are really important to me (as opposed to those I perhaps feel should be important to me) and a different perspective on professional goals.”

GAVIN
“Before I had coaching, I was searching for what direction to follow for the second half of my life and what would help me take action. I have realised I already know so many of the answers I'm seeking, but Lucia helped me cut through the noise in my head, distil my thoughts and reframe things that were making me feel stuck.”

ELIZABETH
“I was stuck in a rut with my career, feeling like I’d ended up in a place where I wasn’t really choosing my next steps and was living my professional life quite passively. Coaching with Lucia has made me feel much more optimistic and excited about the future. I feel less overwhelmed by all the choices I could make and more eager to make the most of the possibility to try new things. I have a much clearer idea of what I want to get out of the next few years.”
