Coaching

As an International Coach Federation (ICF) trained professional coach with a background in learning, leadership and talent development I offer a variety of different coaching services. This includes leadership, career, team, conflict, and career transition (outplacement) coaching. I have also completed separate life coach training and bring this into my wellbeing practice.

I work in partnership with my clients to achieve the desired outcome. I typically recommend six sessions every two to four weeks to achieve this.

"I believe that coaching is a great skill. Laura is a great coach."

"I couldn’t have done it without you, I would still be stuck and not in a good place - thank you."

A flower essence consultation can be included in a wellbeing coaching session. I may use the Luscher colour test which is based on the psychology of colour to help select the perfect blend.

Dr Edward Bach pioneered flower essences in the 1930s by creating vibrational imprints of 38 different blooms that support temporary feelings and emotions. Flowers are boiled in spring water and exposed to the sun. The water is then filtered with a small amount of brandy added as a preservative. The energy of the flower remains in the essence. 

"We had a zoom session using coloured flash cards to help ascertain what was causing my daughter's anxieties and which flower essences may help calm her a little. It was a quick and fascinating activity that she really enjoyed. Laura made it fun and engaged really well with Anaïs. We still have some of the drops left and Anaïs uses them whenever she feels a bit overwhelmed."

I bring in psychometrics, mediation, and NLP techniques when I believe they will support my client’s objectives. 

Psychometrics I regularly use in coaching are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Hogan suite of tools looking at the bright and dark sides of leadership as well as motivation and values. I am also trained in NEO-PI-3 (a big five personality traits assessment), Strengthscope, and the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ).
