Welcome!
Well, here we are!! I can’t quite believe it, my first article for the new arm of my business. Hopefully, by now you will have read through all of the pages of my website and know that I am Lucy, owner of LjB Young People’s Coaching and LjB Coach Consultancy LTD and I very much look forward to getting to know you too!
You might be wondering how I got to where I am today. To start with I’m a nurse and have worked in a caring role for over 32 years both in the NHS and in social care. I’m also a Mom and I spend my days helping people.
I can remember growing up. I know how I felt all those years ago and how at times I just felt so alone. The world was changing around me, my brain and body were changing at such a rate of knots, everything seemed out of control.I left home at 18 and didn’t go back. I was alone in the world with no one to turn to apart from my friends and of course, they wouldn’t understand how I felt or so I thought and I didn’t want to put my problems on to them.So, I just carried my problems around with me and got on with life.
I’ve mentioned that I am a Mom and I have seen the challenges firsthand that young people go through today with my kids. How social media is a constant in our world and we only have to sneeze and the world knows about it! As for school, I certainly don’t remember having the level of pressure applied that young people do today.This could be from an educational perspective, friends, sex, or access to drugs and alcohol.
This is why I decided to open a new branch to my original business so that I could reach more people and make the difference and here we have it LjB Young People’s Coaching, a safe place for young people to be heard, supported to grow and learn ways of navigating the less easy days that happen in life.
If you would like to know more, then just send me a message and I will be in touch.
Much love, Lucy.
