Why Work With Me?

My Story: From Leadership to Partnership

My own career has always centred around people, from my time in customer success to leadership roles spanning from mid-management to Director level. Having worked across diverse sectors—including law, charity, university, SaaS settings — I understand the unique pressures that come with navigating the leadership ladder.

Throughout my own growth, I’ve benefited immensely from the support of mentors and coaches who encouraged me to reflect and evolve. I am now here to offer that same space — a calm, safe, but challenging, and supportive environment—to help you unwrap what sits beneath the surface of your own challenges.

Testimonials

Don’t just take my word for it — here is some of the feedback I have received.

“When a promotion opportunity arose, the clarity that I had obtained through my coaching sessions helped me perform better in interview, and subsequently secure the role. Whilst coaching is extremely reflective and thought provoking it was challenging, but the mental clarity it now provides, along with tools and techniques to use in the future is invaluable.”

Helen
Senior Project Manager

“Laura created an incredibly calm, grounding space where I always felt listened to and never judged. She has a natural ability to ask thought-provoking questions that gently challenge your thinking. One of the biggest shifts has been learning how to be kinder to myself — something that has genuinely improved both my performance and my overall wellbeing.”

James
Founder & Coach

“Laura helped me understand my core values. This enabled me to make many positive changes in my life, not least going out on my own as self-employed. She was sensitive to where I was at, great at drawing out where I wanted to go, and wasn’t afraid to ask the hard questions while challenging underlying beliefs that may have been holding me back.”
