Who am I?
I’m Laura, a children’s life coach, parent consultant and professional nanny based in Shoreham-by-Sea. I live with my wife, our two young boys and our two wild dogs. My life is pretty full on but this reminds me every day how many families out there are just trying to survive and not sure where to turn for support.
​
My journey into children’s wellbeing began when I graduated from Norland College. During my training I gained exceptional knowledge of child development and early years practice and went out into the world thinking I knew it all. In the first few years I began to recognise how complex childhood could be, the emotional difficulties children were struggling with and the pressure as parents to manage them appropriately. I soon became much more than a just a nanny, I became a listening ear, a support system and a safe place for children and parents to turn.Â
​
Over the years, I’ve worked closely with children and families around the world and spent six years as Wellbeing Lead at a local school. These experiences, along with becoming a mother myself have nutured my ever growing passion to help as many children and their families to lead happy, fulfilled lives!
​
After the birth of my youngest I trained specifically as a children’s life coach, bringing together my early years expertise, wellbeing background and passion for helping young people and their families feel emotionally stronger. I truly believe that every child deserves to feel comfortable and confident with who they are, because they are amazing! My goal is to help children feel empowered and help their families feel supported every step of the way.
​
As a life coach for children and young people, I provide structured, supportive 1‑1 sessions that help the child understand their emotions, build resilience and develop practical tools they can use in everyday life. This is more than just coaching, this is building a bond with a child, showing them how awesome they are and helping them chanel those strengths to reach their goals.
​
Each programme begins with gentle relationship‑building, goal setting and confidence boosting activities, giving children a safe space to explore how they feel and what they want to achieve. Through games, creative tasks and guided conversations, children learn to strengthen their inner self and shift their mindsets.
Through my tailor made programmes children are taught how to challenge negative thinking, understand their emotions, manage stress, communicate clearly and celebrate who they are. Each week introduces new tools, from calming techniques and confidence exercises to communication skills and positive thinking strategies, I have designed a programme to help children feel more in control of their thoughts and behaviours. Life coaching is all about pushing forward with positivity and power and children leave sessions feeling confident in their abilities and ready to take on challenges that might come their way.
