Lucy Atkinson
Life Coach in Hope Valley

Life can feel overwhelming at times - especially when you're juggling responsibilities, expectations, and everyone else's needs alongside your own. You might know something needs to change, but feel unsure where to start or how to make it stick.

I'm a Hypnotherapist and Life Coach, and I support people who want to feel calmer, more confident, and more in control of their lives. My work is about helping you step out of stress and self-doubt, reconnect with your strengths, and move towards the life you actually want to be living.

Together, we'll work gently and practically to reduce anxiety, build self-belief, and create positive changes that feel achievable and sustainable. You don't need to be "fixed" - you already have what you need within you. My role is to help you access it.

Background & Life Coaching Qualifications

My approach is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I'm a mother of two, a former international climbing competitor, and I worked for many years as a teacher supporting children with special educational needs. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of resilience, pressure, self-belief, and the importance of feeling truly supported.

I later trained as a certified Life Coach and Hypnotherapist, bringing together my passion for personal growth with practical, evidence-based techniques. I work in a warm, approachable, and non-judgemental way, creating a safe space where you can explore what's holding you back and what you'd like to move towards.

Drawing on my background in education, therapy, and coaching, I tailor each session to the individual - because no two people, or life situations, are the same.

Qualifications include:
BSc (Hons), PGCE, PGDip, DipHPsych, Cert.SM

Approach to Life Coaching & How I Work

I work in a forward-looking, solution-focused way, helping you move beyond where you feel stuck and towards meaningful change.

We begin by exploring what's currently going on for you and what you'd like to gain from our work together. From there, we agree clear, realistic goals that reflect what you want your life to feel like.

I use a combination of hypnotherapy, coaching, and NLP techniques, adapting each session to suit your needs. Sessions are collaborative and supportive, helping you develop insight, confidence, and practical tools you can use in everyday life.

Change doesn't have to be overwhelming - small, focused steps can create powerful shifts.
