Ready to stop going round in circles?
There are 3 ways we can work together. All of them start with a chat about what’s actually going on.
“Louisa has been a brilliant confidante and sounding board. More than being able to see the wood for the trees, she has an uncanny ability to ask the right questions. She’s unflappable, practical and incredibly wise – we need people like that in our lives.”
Tracy Short – Career Consultant
What does working with me look like?
My job is to strip back what you think you “should” be doing and get back to what actually works. That might mean untangling your offers, sharpening your positioning, strengthening your foundations or finally making the decision you’ve been avoiding.
I work as a business mentor, consultant and facilitator which means I use my own experiences to help you and I tell you what I really think rather than just telling you what you want to hear. I won’t just ask questions until you figure it out on your own but I will play devil’s advocate.
I’ll challenge your thinking but in a good way and that’s often what people value the most, the approach I take to help you achieve the results you want.
What clients often tell me is that they’re surprised by how much knowledge and experience I have – not in a cocky way but more that I have gained experience across a variety of different industries, worked for some recognisable brands and I have lots of lived experience.
Prior to going self-employed in 2017, some of the companies I worked for include Standard Life Healthcare, Kelloggs (FMCG), Blackstar Amplification (Music), Mercedes-Benz High Engines (F1) and more.
3 ways to work together
The Energiser Sessions
£75 (30 minutes) | £150 (60 minutes)
A focused 30 or 60-minute session to get unstuck, think something through or sense-check a decision that has been holding you back. This is popular with people that are looking for a quick win before working more deeply on their business.
Right for you if: you’ve got one specific thing to work through that you want to quickly resolve.
The Business Soundcheck
£425 (half-day) / £795 (full day)
A proper look at your business. We work out what’s holding you back, what’s working and what needs to change and leave you with a clear action plan.
Right for you if: you need to look at what is really going on (the bigger picture) before deciding what to fix first.
Wingwoman Support
Bespoke pricing dependent on your needs
Ongoing strategic support for when you want someone genuinely in your corner for longer than 3-months, built entirely around your what you need. Read the blog on what a Wingwoman is.
Right for you if: you want someone who knows your business and is there when you need them, not just in a on-ff session.
The Energiser Session Feedback
“An hour, that’s all it took towork through my problem and come up with a solid and doable action plan. I downloaded. Louisa listened, questioned, chipped in with amazing insights and fresh perspectives and gave me a much-appreciated kick uo the backside.
She also checked up on me to make sure I didn;t slip down the slippery slope of procrastination.”
Kate Pollitt, Brand Confidence Coach
The Business Soundcheck Feedback
“The process Louisa uses is excellent. She prepares incredibly well and clearly reflects on all the material you share with her. The questions she asks are really insightful. Even after just a month, I can already see results both from a clarity perspective and a business perspective. I had a client in three days. Genuinely one of the most valuable business sessions I’ve had. Even if you’re a writer, having someone else look at your words is invaluable.”
Matt Drzymala, Copywriter for kids, family & playful brands
Wingwoman Support Feedback
“Louisa has been my business bestie. She asks challenging questions, holds me accountable and at all times is in my corner. Her knowledge and expertise of marketing, strategy and business operations is exceptional. She has a mix of creative and pragmatic energy that can help you if you’re feeling bogged down in the details. She’s good at sifting through the stuff that isn’t meaningful and getting to the heart of whatever thing you’re working on.”
Willow Paule, Marketing Mentor & Strategist
What clients typically experience
What do clients typically get out of working together?
Every client is different but people tell me they leave with clarity on what to do next, confidence to make decisions, a simple and practical plan to follow, headspace and a sense of excitement for what’s next.
“I can honestly say that her breadth of knowledge and experience is always a constant source of surprise to me – in a good way! She’s dynamic and demonstrates a genuine desire to know and understand the person she’s speaking to, and by getting to know you and how you tick, she can help you be the best version of yourself so your business thrives. She never deviates from that, and there’s nothing fake or disingenuous about her approach.”
Gillian Jones – Copywriter
LinkedIn & Social Media Mentoring
Quite often, I work with clients to help them with their online presence. Whether they are new to LinkedIn / social media, or they’ve used it for years and feel like it’s not working for them.
I help them create a strategy that works for them, we look at your profile and how to attract the right people and honestly, just getting comfortable with it.
I don’t give you a formula, I work with you to create an approach that’s right for you.
Results from clients: one post went from 400 views to 6,000+ after a single session. Another client went from zero comments to 90+ in weeks. One post got 72,000 views. Several have reported inbound enquiries from people who’d never previously engaged with them.
“Louisa always looks at your business as a part of your whole life, combining personal and professional. I find those discussions provide a valuable perspective. Louisa combines optimism, resilience and strategy to great effect. Those values are present throughout the community and give it strength.”
– Lisa de Caux, Editor and Proofreader

Common questions before getting in touch
-
How much does business mentoring and consultancy cost?
Sessions start from £75 for a focused Energiser Session. The Business Soundcheck starts from £425. Ongoing Wingwoman support is priced around what you need. All options start with a free 20-minute call so that we can figure out what is right for you.
-
Do you work online or in person?
I work mostly online which means I work with clients across the UK and globally. In-person sessions can be arranged depending on your location. I am based in the North West of England and I have worked with clients across this area and Leeds in Yorkshire.
-
How do I know which option is right for me?
Let's have an initial chat to discuss your needs. I offer a free 20-minute call for this very reason.
If you've got one or two things you need help with, an Energiser Session is often a good starting place. If you need to consider the bigger picture, the Business Soundcheck is usually a better fit and if you need more regular support (a sounding board, accountability and someone in your corner), that's when I work with people as their Wingwoman.
-
What's the difference between a mentor, consultant and facilitator?
A mentor uses their experience and gives you honest feedback and guidance. A consultant diagnoses what's not working tells you what to do. A facilitator helps you think things through and guides you.
I do all three, depending on what you need.
