Being good at your job doesn’t automatically make the people, decisions and responsibility side of leadership easy.
Whether you’re stepping into a bigger role, dealing with a difficult situation or simply questioning whether you’re leading in the way you want to, coaching gives you the space to step away from the day-to-day, think properly and work out what you want to do next.
Stepping into a new or more senior role and wondering whether you’re ready for it
Managing people and finding that the people bit is often harder than the actual job
Going round in circles over a decision and needing some clarity
Putting off a difficult conversation or dealing with conflict in your team
Struggling with confidence or imposter syndrome, even though everyone else thinks you’re doing brilliantly
Wanting to communicate more confidently, especially when the stakes are high
Trying to lead your team through change or uncertainty
Wanting to understand yourself better and the impact you have on other people
Doing well on paper, but quietly wondering what you actually want from the next stage of your career
There’s no one “right” way to be a good leader, and I’m definitely not here to tell you exactly what you should do.
Instead, I’ll give you the space to step away from all the noise, work out what’s really going on and think properly about how you want to handle it.
I’ll listen, ask questions, reflect back what I’m noticing and challenge your thinking when it’s useful. But coaching with me isn’t just about talking. I have plenty of practical tools, frameworks and exercises we can use to help you look at things differently and work out what to do next.
One session might involve preparing for a difficult conversation. Another could be about someone at work who’s really pushing your buttons, a decision you keep putting off, your confidence, your leadership style or understanding your emotional intelligence and the impact you have on other people.
I’m an accredited ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), qualified Careers Adviser and EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence Assessor, with 1000+ hours of coaching experience and outstanding testimonials.
Before becoming a coach, I had my own career twists and turns, working in education, careers and business development before moving into a Director role.
So I know first-hand that leadership can bring a whole new set of challenges, even when you’re very good at what you do.
I coach managers, senior leaders and business owners privately and through their organisations. I also work with businesses on leadership development, emotional intelligence, conflict and those tricky conversations that so many of us would rather avoid!
Organisations I’ve worked with include Wealth Wizards and Baltimore Consulting, and I’ve coached leaders individually as well as working with executive teams.
I’ve now received 125 five-star Google reviews from my clients and, in 2026, I was named a finalist for Service Excellence Business of the Year at the Women’s Enterprise Scotland Awards.
“I found the coaching process with Laura incredibly valuable. It gave me the space to step back from the day-to-day and really think about what I want from the next stage of my career, not just in terms of role or title, but how I want work and leadership to feel.
Laura has a great way of asking the questions that make you stop and think, while still keeping the conversation practical and grounded. I came away with much more clarity around what matters to me, the kind of leader I want to be and what I want the next chapter of my career to look and feel like.”

I also work with organisations that want to invest in their managers and senior leaders through 1:1 leadership coaching.
I’ve coached leaders whose organisations have funded their coaching directly, as well as delivering wider coaching programmes for businesses including Wealth Wizards and Baltimore Consulting.
My work with Wealth Wizards has included 1:1 coaching with leaders across the business, as well as working with their Executive team. I’ve supported leaders with everything from confidence, self-awareness and decision-making to communication, emotional intelligence, conflict and difficult conversations.
If you’re looking for coaching for one person or several people in your organisation, we can talk about what support would be most useful and tailor it accordingly.
The first step is a free 45-minute Discovery Call. We’ll chat about what’s going on for you, what you’d like some support with and what you’d ideally like to change. I’ll explain how I work, you can ask me anything you’d like to know and we can see whether we’re a good fit.
If you decide to go ahead, you can choose from 6, 8 or 10 coaching sessions, usually every 2–3 weeks. All sessions are online, so I work with leaders across the UK and internationally.
There’s no rigid programme that every client has to follow. Your coaching is shaped around you, what you want to achieve and what’s actually happening in your work and life as we go along.
We’ll get clear on what you want to work towards, turn that into a practical plan and use our sessions to keep moving things forward, working through any challenges, decisions or wobbles that crop up along the way.
You can also add an EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence assessment and debrief if you’d like to understand your emotional intelligence in more depth and explore how it could help you develop as a leader.
Leadership coaching gives you dedicated time and space to step away from the day-to-day and think properly about you as a leader.
You might want to feel more confident, make clearer decisions, communicate better, tackle a difficult conversation, deal with conflict, lead your team through change or understand the impact you have on the people around you.
And you don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to work on. Part of the coaching can be figuring that out!
I’m not there to tell you how you “should” lead. I’ll listen, ask questions, challenge your thinking and bring in practical tools and exercises where they’re useful, helping you work out what feels right for you and what you want to do next.
My leadership coaching packages start at £1,200 for 6 sessions, with longer packages available if you’d like more support:
6 sessions: £1,200 – 3 monthly payments of £400
8 sessions: £1,520 – 4 monthly payments of £380
10 sessions: £1,800 – 5 monthly payments of £360
You can also add an EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence assessment and debrief for £300.
You can pay for the coaching yourself or your employer can fund it. If your organisation is looking for coaching for several leaders, please get in touch and we can chat about what would work best.
Yes! I regularly work with leaders whose coaching is paid for by their employer, as well as organisations that arrange coaching directly for their managers and senior leaders.
If you’d like to ask your employer to fund your coaching, I can provide information about the coaching packages and costs to help you have that conversation.
And if you’re enquiring on behalf of an organisation and looking for coaching for one or several leaders, please get in touch and we can chat about what you’re looking for.
I work with managers, senior leaders and business owners at all sorts of different stages. You might be leading people for the first time, stepping into a bigger role, taking on more responsibility or already be an experienced leader who wants some space to think about how you’re doing things.
And you definitely don’t need to be struggling or have a big “problem” to benefit from coaching.
Some of my clients come because there’s something specific they want help with. Others are doing well but want to feel more confident, develop themselves as a leader or simply have somewhere to step away from the day-to-day and think properly about what they want to do next.
Yes! All of my leadership coaching sessions are held online via Google Meet, so I work with clients across the UK and internationally.
I’m based in Edinburgh, Scotland, but you absolutely don’t need to be local to work with me. Online coaching means you can fit your sessions around your working day, wherever you happen to be based.
Yes! You can add an EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence assessment and debrief to any of my leadership coaching packages.
The assessment helps you understand different areas of your emotional intelligence, including how you understand and express yourself, how you relate to other people, how you make decisions and how you manage stress.
We’ll go through your personalised report together, look at what stands out and explore what it could mean for you as a leader. We’ll then identify practical things you can work on and develop.
The EQ-i 2.0 assessment and debrief costs £300 when added to your coaching package.
If you’d like some space to think properly about your leadership, work through what’s getting in the way and feel clearer about what you want to do next, let’s have a chat.
My free 45-minute Discovery Call gives you the chance to tell me what’s going on, find out more about how I work, ask me any questions and see whether I’m the right coach for you.
