Hear What Our Clients Say

    Madison

    Laura is a thoughtful and insightful career coach who takes the time to genuinely listen and understand your career goals, challenges, and current situation. What sets Laura apart is her ability to offer fresh perspectives and alternative ways of approaching situations, helping you see things more clearly and strategically. She tailors the session to what you need—whether you're looking for a second opinion on a complex issue or focused support in setting and achieving career goals. Her personalized approach makes her an incredible resource for anyone looking to grow professionally. I highly recommend working with her

      Rachel

      I began meeting with Laura Rees-Davies a few months after a promotion that brought new challenges, particularly in my work relationships. One of the biggest adjustments was transitioning from seeing a former boss as a superior to viewing them as a peer. This shift was especially difficult because we were also friends. Laura’s sessions provided a safe and supportive space to navigate these changes. She helped me work through my concerns and find practical solutions for handling daily interactions—whether via email, phone, or face-to-face. Her communication style encouraged me to see myself differently as a leader within my organization. Through thoughtful questions, she prompted me to reflect on my role and how I could grow both personally and professionally. I highly recommend Laura as a coach

          Hermina

          Laura really listens and asks the right questions, making me think about my career aspirations and what’s been holding me back. Her thoughtful approach helped me see things more clearly and gave me the support I needed to settle into my new role with confidence

            Daniel

            My Coaching Psychology supervision with Laura is always helpful and continues to elevate my practice. Her insights, guided reflection, and support about a wide range of topics and practice relating to coaching/psychology has fostered both my personal and professional growth. Each supervision session is focused and tailored to my unique needs, leaving me feeling more confident, effective, and aligned with my purpose as a coach. I have no doubt that my clients see the benefits of this support every session. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for quality supervision

              Alejandro

              Laura has been my coach over the course of two years and her support has been crucial in helping me navigate complex challenges: from setting boundaries at work without compromising influence, to recalibrating my professional trajectory after navigating layoffs and high-pressure decisions. Her serene, attentive presence creates a safe and comfortable environment to reflect, recalibrate, and establish a non-invasive level of accountability. She knows exactly when to hold silence, when to ask a great question, and when to challenge gently. Her approach is steady, deeply respectful, and anchored in integrity and expertise. I would recommend Laura without hesitation to anyone seeking a coach who is intelligent, sensitive, and truly attuned to the human experience at work
