My Services
Career Change Coaching

I offer coaching programmes designed to help you gain clarity on the direction that’s right for you and equip you with the tools for a rewarding career change.

Each session introduces practical wellbeing strategies that build resilience, boost morale, and support a positive, healthy workplace culture where individuals and organisations can thrive.

Explore Some of the Common Career Coaching Questions My Clients Ask
-
It is for people who feel stuck, at a crossroads, considering a career change, newly promoted, or looking to develop as a leader. Coaching is a confidential partnership that helps you clarify what you want from your working life and how to move practically toward it. You don’t need to have all the answers before you start.
-
Yes! Coaching is ideal if you are ready to gain clarity, build momentum, and take purposeful steps toward your goals. It is the perfect fit if you want to:
• Turn vision into action: Define clear goals and create a practical roadmap for forward movement.
• Discover your own answers: Harness your unique strengths and solutions rather than relying on standard advice.
• Focus on the future: Build self-reliance and confidence starting from where you are today.
Your growth is the priority. If another path, like therapy or mentoring, would better serve your current needs, I will always guide you toward the support that helps you thrive.

I am an ICF-certified coach (ACC) and hold an accredited Diploma in Transformational Coaching from the Animas Centre for Coaching. I am a member of the International Coaching Federation and the Association for Coaching. I work as an associate career coach with Unmind, and I am a former Samaritans volunteer. As coaching is not currently regulated in the UK, it's important to check the training, qualifications and professional accreditation of any coach you're considering working with.

The free 45-minute discovery call is a relaxed conversation about what is going on for you right now, what you'd like to change, and what you'd like to get from coaching. I'll ask some questions to understand your situation and what you'd like to focus on, and we can explore how I might best support you. I'll also explain how I work and answer any questions you have, so you can decide whether you'd like to take things further. If I am not the right coach for you, I will tell you and help signpost you in the right direction.
