Grounded support when it’s needed most
Lucy has a wonderful way with words – in the nicest sense – and always has something positive and supportive to say if and when I’m having a moment where I’m overwhelmed and feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. She’s really embodied the values and ethics of my little business.
It wasn’t until Lucy came around that I realised how little room to breathe I had. She’s amazing! Digitalised my registration/enquiry form, enrolling new students is now streamlined and quicker. Amazing! Inbox has rhyme and reason to it.
I found I could trust Lucy 100% with the parents and my admin. I’d give her my bank login details if I felt she required them.
Communication is fantastic – she keeps me updated weekly. She lets me know what my hours look like and talks to me about her priorities when my hours are running low.
Lucy came in and just re-organised me. A waiting list that works – I know who they are, where they came from, what they’re looking for.
I feel supported knowing that Lucy is there. My stress levels are decreasing, I’m not as tense and I am able to give my students the best of me. She dealt with my parent’s passing extremely delicately, and I didn’t have to deal with one parent!
I have room to breathe – room to plan next steps in my business. This is the biggest impact Lucy’s services have had.
She’s so much more than an admin assistant – shares in my achievements in my business and celebrates with me! I think she knows my business better than I do!
My life is infinitely better for having her as a part of it.
Lucy has worked with me as an associate VA for some time now and I can honestly say I don’t know what I would do without her – and this is reflected in the feedback of all the clients of mine that she works with.
She’s incredibly organised, great at communicating, really kind and compassionate and has a super strong work ethic.
I heartily recommend Lucy not only as a top notch virtual assistant but also as an all-round fabulous human being.

Every business needs a Lucy. Lucy has handled many complex and sensitive tasks and keeps me informed and up to date at all times about her progress and work. She lets me know when tasks will be completed which helps with the smooth running of the business.

Lucy has been a complete lifesaver for me and my business.
I booked in for a Clarity Call with Supportive Stories.
She was able to ask the important questions that really helped me to focus on how I wanted to portray my business and how it would be perceived by others.
Lucy made me feel at ease from our very first conversation and she had an extremely helpful and professional attitude.
I would definitely recommend Supportive Stories to others.
Lucy has given me confidence and inspired me to believe in myself and my business venture, and take those scary first steps when first starting out…thank you!
Lucy took the time to truly understand my daughter's needs
I recently called upon Lucy’s expertise at Supportive Stories.
Lucy has a wealth of knowledge, understanding and empathy for families who have daily struggles navigating life in a neurotypical world.
Lucy took the time to truly understand my daughter’s needs. She has an art to adapt strategies to suit individual families.
Her thoughtful approach and ideas were engaging and she bought a lot of heart, skill and positivity to the process. Thank you Lucy for your continuous support.
Lucy had the emotional intelligence to gently suggest reasons as to why she might be upset
Lucy was with me at an important moment when my daughter was upset and frustrated but unable to express why. She was rolling her hands in her t-shirt with a few mutterings, but unable to explain what had happened.
Lucy had the emotional intelligence to gently suggest reasons as to why she might be upset, and with this information, my daughter started to relax and nod her head in agreement. With Lucy’s support and guidance, my daughter was able to express to her friend why she was upset and apologised for her behaviour; Lucy also helped her friend to apologise for what she had done also.
They were able to resolve the issue and go back to playing together.
Lucy reached my daughter in a way I never knew how and am grateful for the lesson. This may seem a small moment, but as a parent, these situations become often enough that they can be handled better in the future
