Working Together 1:1:
Bespoke, Transformative Coaching and Creative Mentoring to finally get you the confidence, clarity and strategy you deserve (and celebrate all parts of you).
You deserve a life where you do work you adore (and I bet you’re brilliant at it too), the clarity and confidence to make decisions based on intuition and intellect, to get paid well for your time and the space to have hobbies and rest.
What do you want to make happen in your precious life, and to how much of this can you relate?
You love so much about your life, but you’re always tired, always feel like you don’t have enough time
This means you often feel like you can’t make decisions, and even though you’re time-poor you’re frustrated that you might be procrastinating;
You’ve always liked working, but now your life has changed and the work you were doing it (or the way in which it’s being done) doesn’t work for you and your family any more
You're fed up of being overwhelmed, and whilst you love being purposeful you’re done with the cult of busy-ness
You look at what others are doing and you feel like you’re falling behind, not just with them but with what you’re capable of achieving
You feel like you have no sense of where your boundaries are around work, home-life, social media…
You’re nurturing everyone else, but who’s nurturing you!
You’re ready to take tiny steps every day towards the life you deserve
You’re open to looking at things in a different way, and to recognising how brilliant you are.
You’re ready to feel calm, to feel clarity, to communicate with yourself and those around you with confidence
You have so many ideas, but get stuck in the detail and fantasise about one thing, then another, without taking action on them
You’re excited to explore other parts of yourself, and are open to being playful and curious
You really don’t mind working hard, when you’re working hard on something you love - but you’ve got too involved in the noise of life to be working with joy.
You’re motivated but you just don’t know where to begin.
“You have an amazing skill of being able to really listen to what is being said and tease out the key parts, asking questions to help me reflect on what's most important. You also have an amazing ability to help priorities the important stuff and work out a way to balance all the plates that I had spinning so that I felt in control of my life as a whole. Not only that, I came a away with a life that felt more whole because you helped me fit in all the parts of me that I was previously neglecting in the busy-ness of trying to do too much that I didn't really enjoy. I love that you look at individual areas of struggle but also step back and ensure the whole picture works too.”

My creative coaching and mentoring clients are incredible, as are you. We work together, and they realise dreams such as:
Using redundancy as an opportunity to start a new and thriving business, that suits their life and family (and gets them well paid)
Supporting a major organisation in the new development of a programme designed specifically for women and another for those who identify as non-binary
creating businesses that are genuinely profitable and sustainably so
Make money from their hobbies and turn them into work that doesn’t feel like work
Writing their book
Transition from employed to profitable self-employed businesses
Enrol in a Creative Writing degree
Return to work after maternity leave for more money, fewer hours and a happier life
Start playing in orchestras or bands for the first time since they were kids
Launch businesses that last
Become confident in conveying to themselves and those around them what they really want from life
Finding the confidence to finally live and work in a way that feels like them
having the strategy to consistently make decisions based on clarity and confidence, not fear
what might that look like for you?
Developing a dream into a profitable reality?
Prioritising your self-care, hobbies and lifestyle as much as your work?
Being able to know you are genuinely working smarter, not harder, and earning more money as a result?
Work being genuinely joy-giving?
Pursuing a creative project (and allowing yourself to enjoy the journey as much as the outcome?)
I’m ready to help you create space to pursue the life, work, and passions you have (and work out what they are) and have a life that is genuinely sustainable, confidence-inducing and supports the values I know you hold deep.

“The process over the past year has been amazing. It's pushed me to do things I never knew I had in me. I've learnt so much. I've learnt it's ok to call myself an expert in my field and acknowledge that I'm not the joker at work, I'm damn good at what I do. I've met fantastic inspirational women, not least you who I hope I continue to see as life moves on. I've found it to be an amazing experience.”
This is what I do…
I’m a multi-hyphenate, multi-passionate, creative woman and I don’t believe that I’ve been put on this earth to unquestioningly follow one path. Rather I know that when I combine areas that I am obsessively interested with, interests that make my heart flutter, work with focus and positive energy and surround myself with a support network I get to live a life that is varied, fulfilling and rich.
Some of my clients want to change the world. Others their work. Others their hours. Others to escape the living to work, busy=successful myth. What all of them want is to live a positive, impactful life that brings them and those around them great joy. There is no magic formula here - the power lies within you, but my super power is unlocking that within you.
I help women like you get clarity on the work they’re doing, following their interests and exploring if they lead to paid work, building businesses and making time for hobbies and creativity. At a time when everything feels very reactive, living on adrenaline and “do-do-doing” I help you find the answers to the questions you don’t normally give yourself time to explore (there’s more practical examples of this below, if you’re one for facts).
Laura has a creative approach but also incredibly strategic understanding of the best way to grow a business. Laura helped me to develop my co-working business and have faith in myself and my vision.

Your Time to Unlock: my 1:1 Private, Bespoke Coaching and Creative Mentoring Offering for you
I understand all the jangling feelings you’ve got going on at this point: I also understand that you might just have scrolled straight to this point, because you’re busy and you want to know what you get. Here’s what you get in terms of tick-list stuff (which in itself is hugely important!)
Opening Questionnaire
This is a really valuable document: most of my clients end up writing me a novel, which is wonderful! It helps us set boundaries, helps me get to know you even better and helps you prepare mentally for that first call.
2. Up to 90 minute Coaching Sessions
Every fortnight or three weeks we will have a coaching session on Zoom or Google Hangouts. I’m a big fan of an action point, and you’ll leave each call with a list of to-dos (you also get the recording and the transcript). Depending on the client you can get written action points via shared docs (more on that below). Perhaps most importantly this is where I hold a special space for you to work through whatever is occupying you at that time.
Sometimes these calls can be very purposeful, pacy and energetic. Other times they will be slower, more reflective and with fewer “and now try this.” We will look at your work, the way you work, your dreams and passions and what is making you press pause on them. After some coaching sessions you’ll feel knackered, but you’ll always feel inspired, excited and purposeful. I always start with coaching, and by the end of the session tend to offer mentoring support.
3. Email, Whatsapp and WhatsoeverElse Support
You’ve got me in your back pocket, all the time (apart from when I’m teaching or taking rehearsals, or with other clients - my students and colleagues deserve the respect of a phone off then). I am a huge fan of a Whatsapp Voice note or Voxer, and a shared Google Doc or OneNote doc. Want a Trello board? Works for me!
4. Action points
Did I mention action points?! I just love them. We’ll put these in whatever form you want, and you can also get help and support from me in all matters technical.
5. Access to Simplicity Unlocked, my group programme at the heart of my coaching and mentoring business, and any workshops, products or events I hold.
Anything I’m doing online or in person, you’re there my darling, ready for a cuddle as soon as I can give them!
This is for you if:
Work is draining and maintaining you at best
You’ve come to realise that the right time for you is now, even if you’re nervous (because contrary to what some might say, there is a right time and I don’t want to work with you unless you feel ready)
You are ready to accept that you have talent, skill and so much to offer to the world
You want to work with someone who is warm, honest, supportive but no nonsense
You want a coach who gets the juggle - but who is navigating her way through it and is ready to help you do the same
You’re fed up, but you’re also optimistic for more
You want accountability and are ready to take some action
You feel like you’re living life in black and white and want some colourful creativity thrown in
You understand that for you life, work, and play are all connected - but you want some strong boundaries
You know that money doesn’t just need to be spent on something you can hold in your hand - that the mental and circumstantial transformation is worth this transaction of time, energy, support, money and space.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No! I completely understand why you would want to stretch out payments, and I trust you entirely to make them all. I always divide up payments if I can to help me plan!
-
The short answer is - literally whenever! The long answer is, I can’t say I never work weekends, because sometimes I do, but I may not reply to your email/ whatsapp/ voice note then (unless you are in a launch period/ time of rapid change when we can arrange for me to be around). I don’t like replying to emails after 6.00pm. But please know that a my 1:1 you can contact me whenever - even if I don’t reply instantly - it normally makes sense for my clients to write or speak whenever they need!
-
Well, as soon as you’ve invested you’ve already taken incredible action, and that’s exciting. But how to keep you taking action? I use all my coaching, teaching and mentoring tools to help you unravel your ideas and turn them into actionable points, tasks and to-dos. I am there at the end of your phone for when you wobble. I am ready for you whenever you need me. It’s that relief of knowing I am there, but that accountability that makes this happen.
But it is also on you - you are the one that can make this a joyful experience with long-lasting benefits. If you’re my dream client (and if you’re still reading you are) then I know you will make this happen. I can help you if life gets a bit much, and I can help you when your success might scare you (and it might).
My clients say that the magic of working with me is how long-lasting the effect (the joy) is that they get from this process, and the way they apply it long-term.
