I'M LAURA
I understand that embarking on a coaching journey or seeking support with people projects can feel daunting. I’m here to guide you through the process with a supportive and practical approach. Please feel free to get in touch for a no-obligation chat—I’d be delighted to explore how I can help.
I have many years of experience as both a Coach and HR consultant, giving me a deep understanding of people, performance, and purpose.
Having worked across charity and commercial sectors, I understand what it takes to lead effectively in diverse environments—from mission-led organisations to fast-paced corporate settings.
With a continuous learning mindset, I have studied a range of related subjects, including completing a postgraduate qualification in organisational psychology. This combination of study and practical experience allows me to apply understanding of human behaviour alongside real-world business knowledge, helping clients enhance self-awareness and achieve meaningful, lasting change.
Drawing on my background in leadership, culture, and organisational development, I specialise in coaching senior professionals and individuals navigating growth, transition, or change. My approach supports clients in gaining clarity, confidence, and authenticity as they tackle personal or professional challenges.
Known for a warm and approachable style, I create a trusted space for reflection and constructive challenge—whether one-to-one or in a group setting. Through attentive communication and a focus on building trust, I guide clients with personalised strategies that strengthen presence, influence, and resilience, enabling them to make a lasting and meaningful impact.

INSIGHT & ENCOURAGEMENT
Coaching with Laura was incredibly valuable. She struck the perfect balance between being supportive and gently challenging, which helped me see situations from new perspectives and develop practical strategies to move forward. Her guidance was especially helpful as I navigated leading a team through a period of change, alongside managing the demands of having young children. I truly appreciated her insight and encouragement, and I would highly recommend working with her.

IMPACTFUL & TAILORED
Laura delivered a highly impactful coaching programme tailored specifically to our Customer Experience team. Her workshop was not only comprehensive but also deeply aligned with our CX principles and culture, which made the content immediately relevant and engaging. What truly set Laura apart was the follow-up 1:1 coaching she provided. This personal touch helped embed the learning and ensured that each participant could apply the techniques confidently in their day-to-day roles. The result has been a noticeable uplift in our team leaders’ ability to coach effectively, adapt to different learning styles, and track progress meaningfully. Laura’s approach has created real advocates within our team and has contributed to a stronger coaching culture across the department which in turn has developed the capabilities of our team, improving the customer experience and therefore having a positive impact on the loyalty and retention of our customers
