About us
I have recently reactivated my Life Coach Directory membership, previously when online I was Laura Thompson, Life Coaching Northern Ireland. Now, Laura Anderson, Coaching-NI, I simply want to introduce you my newly rebranded identity and fresh online presence! After tying the knot, I am thrilled to unveil both my new name and my new business name.
My revamped website is now live, designed with you in mind. It's easier to navigate, visually appealing, and packed with resources to assist you. Whether you're looking for information, services, or simply inspiration, my new online home is your go-to destination.
May & June are a time of renewal and growth, Spring is in full swing in our gardens, public places, parks and woodlands. Spring can be a symbolic time to start fresh, set new goals, and make positive changes in your life. It is also a great time to start working with someone like me to prepare for the summer months, whether it's setting fitness goals, planning holidays, or focusing on personal development to make the most out of the upcoming season.
I help my clients on an emotional and practical level. My unique approach offers my clients the ability to sort things from a variety of perspectives, with flexibility and openness in a safe, non-judgmental approach. I work solely from a place of genuine and meaningful connection. Many things bring on the desire for someone to seek out a Life Coach:
- separation
- financial worries
- health issues
- redundancy
- bereavement
- emotional abuse
- betrayal
- the need to create balance
- self-care
- building routines
...to name a few.
I use my skills as a life coach and NLP practitioner to empower my clients to take control of their lives. Life Coaching is a great investment to help you navigate your way away from crisis, set protective boundaries around the things and people who have contributed to your crisis, whilst also enabling you to set some gentle and achievable goals for yourself. I place a lot of emphasis on how to turn negatives into positives, thus leading to a more positive, happier, and brighter future.
I am professionally qualified and qualified through my own life experiences. Let me help you learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in your way. Get in touch today to see how I can support you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am now in my fifty-second year and believe myself to be qualified by life, family, relationships, my many homes and all my experiences.
However, if you'd like to know about pieces of paper, I am a fully qualified Life coach, holding a LCH Diploma Level 7 from Achievement Specialists (UK). I am also a Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which I obtained from NLP Northern Ireland ABNLP. Back in my now distant past, I graduated with a BA Hons in Textile Management from Leeds University.

Additional information
I know the past couple of years have been very difficult on us mentally, but also financially. The continued uncertainty we are facing means we want to be more cautious with how we spend our money. Because of this, I am now offering you Pay As You Go Coaching Sessions. Just because you are being more careful with your money doesn’t mean you should have to miss out on pursuing your goals and reaching your full potential.
Whether you choose to go with the Personal Development Programme or the Well-Being Programme, I recommend 6 sessions. At the end of your 6 sessions, you should feel empowered and equipped to confidently face the challenges that are in your way. Some clients choose to do these sessions weekly, whilst others choose bi-weekly. Your coaching should, of course, fit easily into your life and around your other commitments, so we can work out a schedule that best suits you.
Now that I am offering Pay As You Go, you can choose to spread these sessions out even more, or you can do a Taster Coaching Programme of 3 sessions and return at a later date. I wanted to give you that flexibility and to make the Programme more accessible.
This is also a great option for past clients who would like to return for a simple Top Up Session.

I help my clients on an emotional and practical level. My unique approach offers my clients the ability to sort things from a variety of perspectives, with flexibility and openness in a safe, non-judgmental approach. This is why you will not find me on the social media platforms. I work solely from a place of genuine and meaningful connections.
Below are some 2025 Client Testimonials:
LK from Rostrevor, Co Down - Working with Laura has been nothing short of life-changing. From our very first session, she created a safe, supportive space that allowed me to be honest with myself, challenge old patterns and belief systems, and truly step into my potential, enabling necessary changes to improve many areas of my life.
Laura’s insight, empathy, and ability to ask exactly the right questions helped me gain clarity on what I wanted - both personally and professionally. Her guidance empowered me to take real, meaningful action toward growth, and I’ve seen a genuine shift not only in my confidence but in how I show up in every area of my life.
Laura doesn’t just coach, she uplifts, challenges, and believes in you when you need it most. I’m incredibly grateful to have had her support on this journey as a busy mum of two and business owner. I can wholeheartedly say I’m stronger, more focused, and more aligned than ever before. Thank you, Laura, for helping me realise what I’m truly capable of.
LB from Belfast - I have met with Laura a few times over the years, seeking guidance on issues such as career direction and personal goals. Laura is approachable, friendly and professional with a wealth of knowledge and experience in many sectors. Laura encourages me to explore my beliefs and values without judgement, ensuring I reach the most suitable path which will enhance my prospects, both personally and professionally. Laura also promptly follows up with background information and/or contact details of people who may be useful to connect with. Laura is flexible with her appointment times, offering both morning and evenings which proved helpful to me. I happily recommend coaching with Laura - she has guided me with kindness and encouragement.
Eniko from Bangor - Working with Laura has been a life-changing experience. She supported me in achieving both my personal and professional goals and was always there when I needed her most. Through our sessions, I learned how to set healthy boundaries, build lasting self-confidence, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness. Most importantly, she taught me never to compromise my values or self-worth. Her guidance empowered me to step into the strongest version of myself, and I’ll always be grateful for her.
