Talk to Lucy about
The story behind Three Little Words
Childhood, survival, what happens after disclosure and why the impact doesn't simply end when the danger does.
Turning pain into power
What it really means to move beyond what happened to you without pretending it didn't happen.
Behaviour change & the human behind the behaviour
Why behaviour makes sense when we understand what sits underneath it — at home, at work and within services.
Children's social care
Nearly two decades of experience, the realities facing the sector and what we could be doing differently for children and the people supporting them.
Resilience, identity & becoming yourself
People-pleasing, confidence, limiting beliefs, finding your voice and challenging the stories we carry about ourselves.
The conversations we avoid
Trauma, adversity, uncomfortable truths and the subjects we're often frightened to discuss — approached with humanity rather than sensationalism.
Looking for a different angle? Get in touch — Lucy is available for reactive comment and bespoke conversations within her areas of expertise.
