A place to stop, think and work things out

Coaching and facilitation with Lara Hogan

Hi, I’m Lara

I’m a coach and facilitator and have been working in the public sector as an organisational development professional and coach for nearly 20 years.

I coach people who are looking to move forward intentionally with their careers and complex lives.

Perhaps you’ve had a career break and are feeling a lack of clarity as to what next?

Perhaps you’re juggling caring responsibilities and work and finding your true purpose?

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate and practical, helping you find clarity, confidence and choice while moving forward at a pace that feels safe. If therapeutic support is needed, I can help you think through what additional support might be helpful alongside coaching.

I’ve supported women in the charity sector who have experienced domestic abuse to figure out how to get their careers back on track. This experience strengthened my ability to coach with sensitivity, care and strong boundaries — particularly when clients are navigating fear, confidence, loss, identity shifts, or rebuilding stability. 

I also bring lived experience as a parent of a child with complex needs. It’s given me a deep understanding of the emotional and practical demands of caring responsibilities — and the importance of self-compassion, boundaries, and sustainable change.

Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed or stuck, and leave with clearer boundaries, greater self-trust, and practical steps forward. 

"Lara is a highly intuitive coach who gave me space to find answers I would never have found on my own." 

“I have found Lara's approach to be empathetic yet appropriately challenging in a way that has helped me to develop fresh perspectives. These have been very helpful for me to take away and reflect on. She listened very carefully and picked up on nuances and themes that she sensitively reflected back to me. This helped me to crystalise what could at times feel like a tangle of thoughts or feelings about a situation. Whilst I feel Lara would successfully support a whole range of clients, I did find that she provided a particularly safe space for me as a female client with young children facing the particular challenges that these elements can pose in the workplace”
