A personalised approach that gives you the support and challenge that you need.
How I will work with you
You may only need a single session to smash an interview or revamp a CV - but in most cases I will provide a structured coaching programme tailored to your needs which will take you through a process of discovery
1
Who am I?
Gain clarity on your core strengths, values, and what motivates you. Psychometric tools + reflective assessment to understand what kind of role or environment will suit you.

Where do I want to be?
Define your vision for your career — leadership, sector change, return to work or promotion. We’ll clarify your priorities, lifestyle, and what success looks like for you.
3
What are my options?
Explore possible roles, industries, and pathways, uncovering hidden opportunities and overcoming blockers. You’ll leave with several viable routes and a sense of direction.
4
Where shall I start?
Develop a concrete action plan: skills to build, networking to do, CV / LinkedIn improvements, interview prep. Begin taking steps confidently and progress immediately.

Absolutely. I break down transition into bite-sized steps so it feels manageable, not overwhelming. Many clients make change with confidence — and you can too. It’s never too late to chart a new path.

Definitely. I blend structured tools, self-reflection, and coaching to rebuild your confidence, reconnect you with your achievements, and restore momentum. If deeper issues emerge, we’ll ensure support beyond coaching.

Yes. Whether you’re unclear about your options or battling distractions, I’ll help you explore your strengths, values, and possibilities — and create clarity you can act on.
-
We’ll increase self-awareness, unearth new possibilities, craft a step-by-step plan, and market the “new you” via CV, LinkedIn, interviews. I’ll support you from clarity to confident action.

It depends on your goals. Most clients see meaningful progress in 4–8 sessions, but since careers evolve, many return for occasional check-ins as they grow.
-
Results vary based on your ambition: some clients pivot roles, others accelerate promotions or clarity. Coaching is a partnership — you bring willingness to act, and I bring strategy, structure, and expert insight.
-
Yes — if possible. But more powerfully, I’ll guide you to tap your own network (often deeper than you realise) and help you expand it with confidence.
