Before I started coaching sessions with Laura I was struggling with my motivation and procrastination in starting my diploma and felt unsure on what to do. I felt lost and lacking enthusiasm to make a start and whether I was doing things in the right way. My sessions with Laura have been productive to help me understand a bit more about my fears and worries. I was able to explore options on how I can move forward and had time to think about what I needed to do. The sessions helped to keep me focused and goal-oriented. Prior to one of our sessions I felt unsure of my next step but after our session I learnt I was making a lot of excuses and that I just needed to get on with it. Which lead to me putting a plan in place and completing my actions which I did and it made me feel a lot more confident about what I needed to do and to break things down into smaller steps. I also learnt I shouldn’t focus on what could go wrong and that it is okay to make mistakes and give myself permission to do that. The sessions have been extremely useful to me. More...

I had signed up to train as a life coach in 2016 and, after two children and the pandemic, finally made the decision that 2021 would be my year to complete the training. I engaged with Laura to coach me into getting off the blocks, and our 6 sessions got me motivated and focused to re-start the process. In particular I needed to advertise that I would be offering free coaching sessions, and my fears about putting myself ‘out there’ and starting a new phase of my career were holding me back. As part of our work together I overcame that anxiety and put in place boundaries to share the information with people who would benefit from the work. As a result of our work together I am now progressing happily through the course, enjoying the flow of being back in the training and completing the tasks set. I am on track to complete the training in October 2021 and the momentum we created has continued beyond our work together. More...
What do you love most about your job?
Working as a coach and therapist in private practice allows me to not only be my own boss and make my own decisions, but also to help others and make a difference in their lives. There is something really special about the feeling I get when a client has a breakthrough, makes a new connection in their mind, gains and insight or increased understanding and self-awareness. It is a privilege to be able to serve clients and help them to create the lives they want and deserve.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having had the experience of good and not-so-good workplaces, I realised that it is possible to work somewhere where you feel valued, where you can make a difference, and where you have a real sense of belonging. Too many people dread Mondays and can't wait for the weekend, and I believe that is not how it should be or how it has to be. I changed the focus of my practice onto coaching and working with work-related issues because I want to help companies to do better and individuals to feel better at work.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have experience as both a coach and a psychologist, and I bring this dual expertise into my work with clients. In my work as a Life and Business Coach and as a Psychologist, I draw on my experience from both fields and can offer a unique perspective because I can look at a situation from a management standpoint as well as from the psychology angle, specifically with mental well-being in mind. This allows me to work very well in the overlap area, helping leaders and managers with their work-life balance or with the development and support for their teams.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I currently offer all of my services exclusively online or remotely. The initial contact for a discovery call is either by phone or by Zoom, depending on the client's preference. Ongoing sessions are conducted via Zoom.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have moved my services entirely online, eliminating any risk due to meeting in person. While I hope to be able to see clients in person again in the near future, I offer coaching and therapy services exclusively online at this time.
