Fine on the outside,
but struggling inside?
Maybe It's Time For Change
I help people who seem fine on the outside but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled on the inside and are ready for change.
If you want to stop just 'getting through' life and start feeling more like yourself again, let’s talk.
No pressure - just space to breathe & figure out what you truly need.
Specialised Life Coaching
You seem fine on the outside. You keep going. You cope.
But underneath?
You feel lost, you’re overthinking everything, finding midlife a challenge, saying 'yes' too often, your confidence has dipped, you constantly compare your life, you're always putting yourself last, and wondering when you stopped feeling like yourself.
Maybe you’ve felt stuck for years. Maybe you’re tired of pretending you’re ok.
If you know something needs to change, you’re in the right place.
I help people who feel they have lost themselves work through overwhelm, self-doubt, stress and worry, and loss of direction.
I offer genuine support & empathy, insightful questions, caring feedback, and connection from someone who sees you as an individual. I don't provide one-size-fits-all coaching. Coaching with me is deeper & tailored around what you need.
As an experienced ICF PCC certified coach and MBACP counsellor, I combine emotional depth with practical coaching to help you understand what’s keeping you stuck and create meaningful, lasting change for you to be in a better place.
I offer a free initial call to help you figure out if if coaching is for you.
How Coaching Can Help
Coaching gives you the space to pause, think clearly, and move forward with more intention instead of constantly reacting to life.
Coaching can help you:
-
Get clear around your challenges & what you really want
-
Stop second-guessing yourself and make decisions with more confidence
-
Manage overwhelm and overthinking more effectively
-
Move through life changes with resilience & trust
-
Understand patterns that are keeping you stuck
-
Change old beliefs & mindset that's unhelpful for you
-
Build healthier boundaries and stronger self-worth
-
Reconnect with yourself, your needs, and your sense of direction
-
Create meaningful changes that are realistic and lasting
-
Move forward with support, accountability, and honest conversation
Life coaching is more than just coping.
It’s about feeling calmer, getting clarity, increasing confidence, and becoming more connected to who you are today and how you want to live your life going forward.
I had such a wonderful experience with Laura! After years of working with only a therapist, it was such a breath of fresh air finding Laura.
About Laura Haywood
Hi, I'm Laura Haywood, certified life coach and therapist, and someone who deeply believes that you are worth more than just coping.
I spent 10 years living in the US, training and working as a coach, mentor, and facilitator, building nearly a decade of experience working with people who looked fine on the outside but who were struggling inside. In late 2025, I moved back to the UK, and brought all my experience with me.
Today, I work locally in Nottinghamshire & online across the UK and US. I blend my therapy background with ICF PCC certified coaching to offer something a little different: the emotional insight of a therapist, with the forward-focused energy of an experienced coach.
I'm here to create a trusting, honest & supportive space for you to think clearly, be honest about where you are, and find out what's next.
When I'm not coaching, you'll find me out in nature, drinking too much tea, or walking my two beautiful greyhounds.
Rooted in therapy, Powered by coaching, Focused on you.
