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 organisations and global institutions, but I also coach a range of individual clients and small business owners through my independent coaching practice.

My coaching approach.
​Using a holistic whole-person and whole-life 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 and achieve the things they want personally and 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 and practical approach and has supported me brilliantly to reach the career and confidence goals I set for myself over the six months I have worked with her. Thank you, Laura." 

“Coaching with Laura has helped me gain valuable insights into myself and my personality style.  Through this, I now have a much better understanding of what makes me tick."

“Before I started coaching, I felt a little hesitant about how I could move forward in what feels like a rut.  Laura made me feel at ease straight away and was very calm and understanding.  At the end of our session, I felt reassured, which gave me so much more confidence in my ability to make the right decisions for me; that my decisions are not wrong and what I want and deserve in life matters.  I am looking forward to working on the actions we discussed together, and our next session.”

"These sessions have made me stop and think about who I am, what I do and how I react/act to my world, both professionally and personally.  I feel that I am developing my sense of self-worth and 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 and 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 and relaxed coaching style, which helps put you at ease and 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 and effective. Laura has completely changed my perspective about coaching and, 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 and it feels much less overwhelming. Thank you so much.”

"Laura always listens to what I have to say and we always talk about my points in detail - we don’t just cover them up with a ‘sticking plaster’, but identify the root of why I do things a certain way. Laura tries to understand how I am the way I am, which, for me, is a really big thing.  With Laura's support, my levels of self-awareness and self-acceptance have grown and I have started to believe in myself much more.”

"Coaching with Laura has supported me to balance out the negatives and positives within my life and identify what benefits me, and what doesn’t.  I have started to focus on the good in my life more and I feel, and act, much more positively.  Coaching has also supported me to manage my feelings and understand more about what I need in the moment, but also what I need to move a step forward.  I feel like I know what to do if I'm ever in these situations again.   Laura has a very neutral, supportive and friendly coaching style – it almost feels like talking to a friend.  I was very comfortable in our coaching sessions and felt able to be fully open about everything that I was thinking and feeling.  Coaching is something that I needed and I'm glad I invested in it".

1:1 bespoke Life Coaching sessions available on a flexible (ad-hoc) basis or as a coaching package. 

Flexible Coaching

Following an onboarding session ('Clarity Session'), sessions can be purchased on a one-off basis, or in blocks, to be used within a 12-month period.  Flexible coaching might be for you if you require coaching support on a more spontaneous or situational basis, and want to address specific challenges & opportunities as they arise.

Coaching Packages

Coaching packages offer you increased structure, consistency, focus, momentum, & accountability; packages tend to build on your insights in a logical & effective way, leading to long-term transformational change.  If you thrive off routine & a well-defined timeline, then a coaching package might be for you.

The coaching package I offer is the 'Clarity Package' and is comprised of a series of 6 sessions within a 6-month period.

Discovery Calls

I offer a free, no-obligation, discovery / introductory call.  The call is for approx. 20 - 30mins and is an opportunity for us to chat through what support you’re looking for and how I can potentially support you.  It’s also an opportunity to see if we get on and feel as though we could work together, because this is crucial.  There’s no pressure to decide there and then.  The main priority is for you to get more information about how coaching may help, and to get a sense of who I am, as your potential coach.

I'm a full-time coach for a global organisation, so my capacity for private clients is limited.  I do have some availability outside of this role and am happy to chat through options .
