Making life feel easier for you and your children

Child Coaching
My role as a mental health coach is to support your child in a gentle, encouraging way—helping them build confidence, manage stress, and navigate life’s challenges with more ease.
I work with children and teens who might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unmotivated, or just unsure of how to express what they’re going through. This could be related to transitions and change, friendships and social skills, confidence and self-esteem, emotional regulation and understanding big feelings and all the challenges of growing up. Coaching gives them a safe space to talk openly, explore what’s going on, and learn practical tools to feel better and move forward.
This isn't therapy—I'm not diagnosing or treating—but I am here to help your child develop emotional skills, set meaningful goals, and grow into themselves with more clarity and self-trust.

Parent Coaching
As a parent coach, my role is to walk alongside you and make the day-to-day feel a little more manageable. I offer a gentle space to pause and reflect — helping you think about how you want to respond, before life puts you on the spot. We work together using a blend of reflection, evidence-based research, and current thinking in child development, psychology and behaviour.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding things you'll ever do — and one of the hardest. At Thrive and Grow Coaching, I'm here to help you find your footing, whether you're navigating the complexities of raising a neurodiverse child, supporting a young person through a difficult transition, or simply feeling like you've lost sight of yourself along the way.
I work with children, teenagers and parents to make sense of emotions, behaviour and the everyday challenges that can feel so overwhelming.
Because when you feel more like yourself, everything else starts to feel a little more possible.
Testimonials
Parents Recommend:
Parent B.
My child was finding big emotions tricky. Laura helped him to better understand these, what they meant to him, and ways in which he could take control over them through better understanding himself.
Parent N.
Laura was approachable, knowledgeable and very down to earth and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other families. The changes I have seen in my daughter, in a short space of time, have been remarkable and we are both much more optimistic about what the future looks like.
