Coaching & Thought Partnership for Changemakers

Book a free discovery call

You want to make a difference.

You care deeply about the world, and the people and projects you lead.

You see what needs to shift in the world and you want to be a part of creating that, while keeping your energy, wellbeing and focus.

This is a space to do that.

Over a few months we meet one-on-one. We focus on the challenges that are in front of you. We notice patterns. We practice the conversations and decisions that matter. We map your next moves.

You leave each session with clarity, practical skills, and energy you can carry into your work.

Show up fully. Make the work that matters.

There are a wide variety of skills and capacities we need as changemakers in this time.

And let me be clear: you already know how to do some of this work.

What you build here is what's missing: the skills that let you show up fully when the stakes are high - whether that’s inspiring a vision, stretching your creativity, building your resilience and adaptability or handling conflict and power difficulties.

It might even be shifting the culture of an organisation from one run on scarcity and urgency, to one creative, imaginative and well-rested.

We identify the skill gaps that matter - the places where good intentions hit real conditions and break down - and work on these together, so that you can create the difference you want to make in the world, while also honouring your own needs and wellbeing.

What we do together

Hey, I’m Laura Hartley

I’m a leadership coach & the founder of the Scintilla Centre.

I started working with changemakers through my own experience as a climate and environmental activist. I understand the challenges that change-work can bring, and the skills required for our work to be impactful: relationship building, creativity, conflict reconciliation, storytelling, and the ability to keep going when the problems feel impossibly big.

My intention - as a coach and as the founder of Scintilla Centre - is to support changemakers in developing the skills, wisdom and community needed to remake the world.

Because honestly? Our world needs you and your work right now - and we need you at your most creative, most energised, most clear.

My approach to coaching is centred around conversation, inquiry and the power of a good question - although I also integrate body awareness. I often invite clients to check in with their bodies, to sense what’s arising beneath the surface. Our bodies hold guidance and wisdom that we benefit from listening to.

Sessions are conversational, relational, and grounded in exactly the support you need right now.

If any of this resonates, I'd love to chat. Let's start with a free discovery call where we can explore what you're facing, what you're looking for, and whether working together feels like the right fit.

Who Is This For?

I work with people who are deeply committed to creating a more just, loving and regenerative world - in whatever form that takes.

  • Laura’s ability to see clearly and get to the crux of issues, and to remain focused while gently facilitating insights and epiphanies is quite extraordinary. Laura not only coached me on my life challenges, but also on my work with the NGO that I founded seven years ago. She managed to shine a light of clarity on how I could best present my personal journey, which allowed me to deliver amazing presentations.

  • Working with Laura enabled me to slow down and look deeply at the sustainability of my habits. She connected me to a deeper understanding of my own needs and boundaries by creating space for me to reflect on my internal landscape amidst a chaotic time. I am so grateful to Laura for helping me navigate an enormous transition in my work life which will allow me to better resource myself—as a human, as a changemaker, as a healer—for the formidable challenges of this time.

  • Laura is brilliant at asking the right questions that enable anyone to find the answers needed. She is very collaborative, and listens with her whole being, making you feel like you are her only concern.

  • I just wanted to share the good news – I got the job!! Thanks so much for your encouragement, I’m not sure I would have even applied if it wasn’t for your thoughtful questions!

  • I've had the pleasure of working with Laura for well over a year and cannot recommend her highly enough for changemakers who need support and encouragement. I've worked with multiple coaches from diverse perspectives and greatly value the safe and caring space that Laura creates to work through challenges and make progress on important goals. She brings curiosity, deep listening and encouragement to cut through the resistance and fears. She just gets it with her deep understanding of the issues that anyone trying to create positive change is likely to face. Her empathy and compassion shine through, as well as her focus on doing what needs to be done in practical ways. I've found her to be a wonderful and inspiring partner who is committed to making a positive impact through her work and her presence.

How it works

Option 1: Single Session (2.5 hour Deep Dive)

A focused single thought partnership session. I'll send you a questionnaire beforehand so I can show up as prepared as possible for your specific goals. We'll then spend 2.5 hours together, unpacking whatever questions, tensions, or conflicts you're holding.

You'll gain greater clarity, expanded possibility, and a clear next step forward. You can book directly or start with a free discovery call if you'd prefer to chat first.

Note: this can be online, or we can meet live in London.
