Lucy Orton

I help fast-moving tech and creative companies unlock growth by retaining, developing and realising the potential of their key leaders and talent.

With more than two decades of experience in creative agencies and tech organisations across three continents (the UK, Asia-Pacific and the US), I understand the specific challenges, unique working environments and exceptional talent that work within organisations in these industries.

As a certified coach and registered counsellor with expertise in executive coaching, leadership development, relational therapy and psychotherapy modalities, I specialise in providing tailored group and individual coaching solutions that transform creative and tech professionals and organisational cultures.

Every programme is bespoke and designed to meet the precise demands of the tech and creative industries and the organisations I partner with, and I always use the most up-to-date and evidence-backed approaches to transformative coaching.

As both a clinically supervised mental health practitioner and a certified executive coach, I have a unique vantage point on the intersection between the individual and the role they perform, and the inescapable link between high performance and sustainable mental wellbeing. This means that I offer a space that is both extremely supportive and psychologically safe AND truly transformative in terms of commercial and retention outcomes to your organisation.

Whether you are addressing C-suite performance and development, leadership dynamics, executive resilience or the transition of returning parents, Lucy Orton Coaching + Consulting offers specialised coaching for tech and creative industries that combines deep industry understanding with structured and inspiring programmes that bring out the best in your top talent.
