“Working with Laura has been incredibly valuable. Her coaching has helped me identify some of the areas that have been holding me back, while giving me the space to reflect on what I enjoy most and where I want to focus my career. Laura's coaching style is incredibly personable, patient and kind, which made it easy to be open and explore topics honestly. Through thoughtful conversations and insightful questions, Laura has helped me gain greater clarity on my strengths and how I can better align my role with the work I find most rewarding. I'm feeling more confident about my direction and how to channel my interests into my day-to-day role. I would highly recommend Laura as a coach.”

Support Through Challenge & Change
“Laura was an incredibly supportive coach. Through thoughtful questions and practical tools, she helped me better understand my working style and turn development areas into a clear plan for growth. During a particularly challenging period, she created genuine psychological safety and helped me make sense of what I was experiencing. I came away with greater clarity, confidence and direction.”
Roberta
Manager
“I was referred to Laura through a friend and would definitely recommend her to any of my friends and family. I thoroughly enjoyed our three sessions together at a great cost and have come out of them feeling much clearer and calmer than before. She is very professional and personable, yet has a firm approach when needed to keep the session on track. Her open questioning helped me to define a vision that was much more likely to meet my practical and emotional needs than my original thinking. I will be forever grateful to Laura for her support and guiding hand through a challenging time.”

David“Laura is a fantastic listener and a very empathetic person which certainly helped me to open up and share some long standing career blockers.”Read full review
I continue to work with Laura and Crosspath Coaching and have been delighted with the excellent support and guidance that she provided me with at a very crucial point in my professional career following a challenging redundancy. I was very fortunate to have been introduced to Laura via an ex colleague that I held in very high regard and I can confidently say that she has definitely provided me with the career coaching, that in hindsight, I actually needed several years ago.
Laura is a fantastic listener and a very empathetic person which certainly helped me to open up and share some long standing career blockers that I never really confronted when it actually mattered. Most importantly however she ensured that I understood exactly how important the skills and experience I had learned to date could be utilised in today’s job market and this provided me with the confidence boost I needed to get back in to the workplace.
There are obviously a lot of challenges on the horizon for today’s workforce but based on my own personal experience there is significant value in seeking professional career coaching support to meet them which is why I would wholehearted recommend Laura and Crosspath Coaching in helping people to navigate and overcome these challenges.

I have the pleasure of working with Laura as my career coach and mentor, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Laura creates a supportive, thoughtful and encouraging environment that enables honest reflection and meaningful progress.
What has impressed me most is her ability to combine practical career guidance with a genuine understanding of the psychological aspects of career change, confidence and professional identity. Through our sessions, she has helped me clarify my values, recognise my strengths, approach applications more strategically and build greater confidence in articulating my experience and future goals.
Laura is an excellent listener, she asks insightful questions and consistently offers constructive, tailored advice. Her encouragement has been invaluable during what has been a significant transition period for me, and I am very grateful for her support.
I would highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking career coaching, mentoring or professional development support.
Victoria“She’s helped me build confidence, gain clarity around my career, and recognise strengths that I often overlooked in myself.”Read full review
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Laura over the last six coaching sessions, and I genuinely can’t recommend her highly enough.
In a job market where it can often feel like you’re sending applications into a void and hearing nothing back, Laura’s coaching has been invaluable. Her sessions are incredibly well tuned to the realities of today’s market, helping you navigate the uncertainty while staying focused, motivated, and confident in your own abilities.
Laura has a natural ability to listen without judgement while asking thoughtful questions that challenge your thinking and help you see opportunities you hadn’t considered. She creates a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, but she also knows exactly when to encourage you to step outside your comfort zone.
Throughout our sessions, she’s helped me build confidence, gain clarity around my career, and recognise strengths that I often overlooked in myself. Every conversation has been practical, insightful, and tailored to my individual goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
If you’re feeling stuck, considering a career change, or simply need someone who understands the emotional ups and downs of today’s recruitment landscape, I wholeheartedly recommend Laura. She’s an exceptional coach whose guidance, encouragement, and honest support have made a real difference to me, and I have no doubt her new business will help many others do the same.
Thank you, Laura, for believing in me and helping me keep moving forward, even when the journey has felt challenging.
