WHOLE PATHWAYS
Holistic Life Coaching & Hypnotherapy
For When You're Done Pretending Everything's Fine
I work with people in need of change, from high-performing leaders to those quietly falling apart in carparks.
Whether you’re burned out, numb, navigating difficult life transitions, caught in patterns of behaviours and habits that no longer serve you, or just tired of holding it all together — this is a space to come home to yourself.
Ready to unstick yourself?
Sarah - Corporate Finance Director
"[Laura] helped me reconnect with who I really am beneath all the roles I'd been performing. I stopped chasing perfection and started living with clarity, confidence and calm. It changed everything - my relationship with my husband, my children, and my work, all improved - I started living - not existing. I cannot thank you enough."
Adam - Senior Leader Royal Navy
“What an incredible experience; it has made me a better dad, husband and leader.
I feel so much better; physically, mentally and emotionally. You have shown me a path to a better me”
Elly
“Following a traumatic year, I had issues with anger and anxiety and after 4 wonderfully relaxing sessions I feel like my old self again. Laura speaks to your unconscious mind, and it works! She is a marvel!"
If this sounds like you....

You've tried talking it out, analysing it, planning it, but the same underlying problems keeps showing up.

You're living in a version of yourself that everyone else chose.

Nothing you have tried has worked.

You look like you have everything, but yet you feel empty.
..then this space is for you.
No performance. No pre-packaged processes. No sticking-plaster fixes. Just a safe return to what's real, letting go of old beliefs and old habiots and a journey back to the you you want to be.

My Passion
About
Whole Pathways was created for people who sense that something deeper needs attention, not just another plan, or quick fix, but a way to truly reconnect with themselves.
By creating a calm, supportive space I help you untangle what’s been holding you back, and allow you to move forward with greater clarity and ease, and to let go of habits, beliefs and feelings that no longer serve you.
Because this isnt just coaching, it's coaching and hypnotherapy. The coaching gives you direction, clarity and alignment. The hypnotherapy gives you release, rewiring, and healing at a deeper level. You don’t lose control or “go under.” You simply enter a calm, focused state where your inner world becomes easier to listen to, and transformation happens more naturally and more effectively.
This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level motivation. It’s deep, personal work. Together, we slow down enough for you to really hear yourself, surface your fears, your desires, your truth, and then we begin to gently let go of the patterns that no longer serve you.
Imagine what your life could be like if you could move away from behaviours and thoughts that you no longer need.
Sessions are tailored to you. We dont follow a script and whatever you come for, the work is the same: helping you remember your own wisdom, calm your nervous system, and rediscover a grounded sense of wholeness and move towards the you you want to be.
My passion is helping individuals reconnect with their true selves and let go of behaviours and thoughts that no longer serve them. Life can often create noise that leads us away from our core identity and we can pick up habits that prove difficult to shift. But I have seen, and experienced first hand, the power of coachng anf hypnotherapy to break through these distractions, so you can rediscover your happiness, health, and fulfillment.
Join me on a journey to find your pathway back to who you truly are, and enhance your life, work and relationships in the process.

“Sometimes you don’t need to move forward. You just need to sit with yourself until you remember you already know the way.”

Laura Macleod CB CVO
BEng(Hons) MSc MA CEng CMgr MIET FCIPD CCMI
I spent much of my life becoming who everyone else needed me to be, outwardly accomplished but inwardly disconnected. As a senior military officer, and later an executive coach in leadership development, I dedicated myself to helping others thrive. I was very good at it. But beneath the surface, I carried quiet exhaustion, overthinking, and habits I couldn’t seem to change, no matter how self-aware I became.
A few years ago, I chose to stop performing and start becoming the person I truly am. That decision transformed not just my life, but how I support others through change. Through my own experience of hypnotherapy and coaching I found that my own limiting beliefs and unwanted behaviours, habits and thoughts that had dogged me for years, literally vanished overnight. This did not just help my, but benefited those around me.
Real change doesn’t have to take years of analysis or willpower. Sometimes it’s about giving the mind the right conditions to reset, and that’s what this work is all about.

"letting go of unwanted feelings / habits / behaviours and coming back to you"
4-session coaching & hypnotherapy package
For when you're feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected from who you really are. This gentle, powerful process helps you strip away expectations, reconnect with your true voice, and begin living more fully as you.
Through a series of honest, heart-led conversations I'll guide you gently but deeply into yourself, not to fix what was never broken, but to uncover what's been burried. We'll unlock the truths you've hidden to keep others comfortable. We'll honour the parts of you that were cast aside to fit the mold. Together, we'll walk back to the self you've always been. Not the performance, but the real you that has been waiting beneath it all.
