Laura Hunter

Hello!  I'm Laura.  Thanks for stopping by.

I've been coaching and mentoring for over 15 years and I LOVE it! 

Who am I?
I’m a professional, qualified Coach (ACC), accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and hold membership with the ICF.  I'm also a Mental Health First Aider.

ICF accreditation is a globally recognised golden seal of approval for coach professionals - currently less than 3% of UK coaches are ICF accredited.​

A significant amount of my coaching experience is from coaching within large academic institutions, but I also coach a range of individual clients and small business owners through my small independent coaching practice.

My coaching approach.
​Using a holistic, trauma-informed, whole-person approach, I coach individuals on all areas of life - no topic is off the table!  

I coach with a strong wellbeing slant and specialise in confidence and wellbeing management coaching.  My coaching is 100% bespoke to YOU, and we work together on what’s important and relevant to you; the things that will make a difference to you and your personal and professional life. 

How can I help you?
Using a range of positive psychology theory, tools, and techniques, I will support you to improve and manage your overall wellbeing, and empower you to navigate through life with greater confidence and self-esteem.

I typically support clients that want to:

- Re-address life balance, in a way that works for them.

- Feel calmer and more in control of daily life.

- Overcome self-doubt and imposter-type thought patterns.

- Step out of their comfort zone & achieve the things they want, personally & professionally. 

- Navigate life transitions/big changes, so they can regain a sense of control and identity.

- Overcome challenge and develop their levels of resilience.

My clients say that I am a calm, grounded coach, who is warm and easy to talk to. Paired with my practical, pragmatic approach, I will support you to identify - and take - the action you want, and need, to lead the life you want.  

Client testimonials.
Here are some testimonials from clients that I have coached recently:

"Laura has a friendly, calm & practical approach & has supported me brilliantly to reach the career & confidence goals I set for myself over the six months I have worked with her. Thank you, Laura." 

"These sessions have made me stop & think about who I am, what I do & how I react/act to my world, both professionally & personally.  I feel that I am developing my sense of self-worth & value."

“I found the session really useful; it gave me some clarity on how I can focus in this awkward time.”

“I think Laura is a brilliant coach & I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking support to either find the right direction or motivation (at any level or point) in their career or life in general. She has a very natural, friendly & relaxed coaching style, which helps put you at ease & doesn’t make you feel any pressure to commit to a particular course of action. I also found Laura’s approach to problem solving to be practical & effective. Laura has completely changed my perspective about coaching &, consequently, I wouldn’t hesitate to seek support from her in the future.”

“Our coaching sessions have provided me with a better understanding of the situation I am in.  I now feel able to break it down & it feels much less overwhelming. Thank you so much.”

More testimonials/reflections can be found in the photos section and on my website.
