Specialist coaching

Medical students

Complex revision. Clinical placements. Competitive specialities. Training to be a Doctor is demanding. Overwhelmed by OSCE’s or burning out, we’ll offer you personalised support with individual and systemic insight. We’re also experienced in supporting neurodiverse students.

New students

The jump into uni life looks different for everyone. There’s no ‘right’ way to feel. Lonely, stressed, or feeling like an ‘imposter’, we’ll help you adjust and build confidence so you perform – and play – at your peak. Support, warmth, encouragement. You’ll never feel judged.

Research coaching

Losing direction or focus? Lacking confidence in your thesis? Want your research published? Explore meaningful ways to overcome common (and not-so-common) pitfalls and research roadblocks. Actionable strategies at undergraduate, Masters and PhD level.

Having coaching sessions over the last year has been so grounding and focussing. I have found Laura’s support encouraging, reflective and caring – it has changed how I work and the progress that I am able to make.

A degree is a huge achievement. But it isn’t always enough to secure the job you want – or to know what you want. You might be feeling lost, confused or dispirited after uni ends. You might want to change tack from your degree subject completely, but don’t know where to start. Our transitional coaching and mentoring programme gets under the skin of your dilemma. We explore what gives you energy, how your strengths are best applied and practical steps to launch forward with more spark, impulse and career confidence.
