About Me
Hi, I’m Laura Haywood - a certified life coach, former therapist, and champion for meaningful, intentional change.
I'm a former therapist, trained at the University of Cambridge, U.K. and I spent 10 years helping clients navigate their emotional challenges.
After moving to the U.S., I realized coaching was a 'thing', focusing more on change, empowerment and forward movement. I retrained in Raleigh and became a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I have been working as a coach for over 8 years in Raleigh, NC & around the US. The core of how I work today is with deep presence, compassionate honesty and a belief in every person’s potential for growth (with a sprinkle of English humor).
I’m also an ICF mentor coach and faculty member for an ICF-accredited coach program, training and supporting new coaches as they become the next generation of coaches.
My approach blends the depth of therapeutic understanding with the forward-focused energy of coaching. Whether you're feeling stuck, struggling with confidence and self-doubt or feel like you should have everything figured out by now, I’m here to walk alongside you. Let's figure it out together!
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me out in nature, enjoying cups of tea, spending time with my husband and friends, and relaxing with our two retired greyhounds (not all at the same time).
Rooted in Therapy, Powered by Coaching, Focused on You!

Testimonials/Reviews
"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 and being able to take what I’ve learned in therapy and apply that knowledge to making tangible action towards my future. While working with Laura I made a big career transition that opened the door for me to resolve a lot of my anxiety, create new boundaries, bring color and joy back into my life and begin to build something new. Laura is kind, honest and intentional with her approach and has been such a gift! If you are considering a life coach to help you through your journey, Laura is the best!" - SJ
