Lara is an international youth expert with more than 16 years experience. She is a youth and parent coach who works with clients across the UK, as well as in Malaysia and the USA via skype.
She is passionate about supporting young people to believe in themselves and achieve their REAL potential.
Lara works with young people on a one to one basis as well as in groups. Her sessions are unique and interactive and are designed to introduce powerful new ways of thinking, which can help young people to break down any barriers that are preventing them from achieving their real potential.
In 2010, Lara launched the SHIFT personal development programme, created especially for young people. This is available to young people on a 1:1 basis as well as in groups.
Lara believes that young people today are under more pressure than ever, pressure to achieve perfection in their education and appearance, causing them to believe that they need to look and behave a certain way in order to achieve REAL happiness and success.
The pressure young people experience can cause their relationship to become strained with their parents. Lara helps parents of teens to understand the pressure they face and supports them to find solutions for a more harmonious relationship. Support is available to parents via one to one coaching sessions (face to face in Dorset or by skype) and through group workshops.
Lara is a qualified personal performance coach and careers adviser, and has studied NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).
She lives in Dorset with her husband, two children, two cats and her jack russell dog! She shuns television for books, loves travelling abroad and admits to an obsession with natural skincare products, which led her to create Love the REAL You, skincare for teenage skin.
