Career & Wellbeing Coach

Design your own career adventures for greater wellbeing. 

Pressures of modern living, feeling lost, overwhelmed and dissatisfied in work, and health and wellbeing challenges can occur at any time, and to anyone, no matter how well things appear on the surface.

I can help you bridge the gap between where you currently are and where you would love to be. Drawing on my prior experience in the high pressure environments of academia, Olympic/Paralympic sport, and law, I will support you to reconnect with your authenticity, values and motivations and help you identify the next steps along the path to greater wellbeing. You’ll emerge from coaching with a renewed sense of clarity about your goals and the steps that you need to achieve them.

Hey, I'm Lara!

After a successful career as a medical/sports lawyer, I retrained as an executive coach, blue health coach and wellbeing specialist and now combine all of my skills and experience to support people to be the best they can be.

Outside of work, I’m obsessed with dance, movement and anything to do with the sea. I’ve been trying to get better at surfing for about 20 years and am constantly planning alternative careers as a wildlife photographer, personal trainer and anything else at the intersect of sport, the natural environment and the arts: definitely at my happiest when working across all three.

  • "I worked with Lara during my tenure at Wycombe Wanderer's Foundation Trust. Lara's exemplary, knowledge, delivery and manner was exactly tailored to meet the needs of our participants during our series of women's health and menopause workshops. Lara took the time to understand our aims and objectives and fulfilled delivery with outstanding feedback from us, key stakeholders and, most importantly, the participants. I highly recommend her as a consultant."

  • "I consulted with Lara on career direction. Our conversations were supportive and inspiring. I credit her with helping me to approach work differently and to think beyond the confines of where I was. Together we focused on ways to bring more calm, creativity and well-being to day-to-day working practices - this helped me to develop new behaviours which I'm still benefitting from today. She is strong on encouraging self-awareness, accountability, the setting of personal goals, and the importance of following what is interesting to you and making it viable. Her particular strength is in shaping creative careers. I got a lot of new ideas through talking to Lara, and have pursued a number of exciting ventures as a result."

  • "Lara is a passionate speaker with a real skill for storytelling. She pairs active listening with her charming communication style that is approachable, authentic and informative. Her ability to distil complex topics into a clear and accessible message is a huge asset. I see Lara as someone that has a unique approach to life; she's comfortable with the unknown and lives her own advice, which is demonstrated by her breadth of interests, skills and experiences. Lara's insights would be beneficial to anyone seeking a creative life shift and career change. I'd highly recommend Lara for speaking and mentoring opportunities, and I look forward to collaborating with her in the future."
