About Career Support
My approach is founded on the belief that you have the answers you need within you. I simply help you find the answers for yourself by asking the right questions and using the right tools.
By asking powerful questions and using techniques and exercises, I can help you unlock your potential. By working together, you can identify where you want to go and what’s holding you back. We can develop a plan to overcome these obstacles and move you forward. Career coaching is solution focused and goal orientated.
Choosing a career coach
Choosing the right coach to suit you, your needs and your personality is very important. You will be working closely with your coach and sharing personal information, so it’s essential that you trust them, get on with them and like their approach. I recommend that you make your choice carefully.

Are you ready for coaching?
Do you feel your work is not quite as you’d like it? Do want change but don’t know where to begin? Are you feeling overwhelmed and burnt out? Do you need support to take steps forward and grow your confidence?
I have helped many people through the often fearful process of deciding to leave unsatisfactory, yet familiar work. Career coaching support helps you find work that’s more aligned with your values and priorities so your work feels more rewarding and meaningful as a result. This may be a change in roles, starting the path of retraining, or a move to self-employment or entrepreneurship – or even a change in perspective about where you are right now and where you are headed in the future!
By investing in a career coach, you are taking the time to focus on what you want and need from your work. This gives you much needed perspective and self-awareness, allowing new ideas and solutions to emerge.
Coaching is about change and action.
Coaching is not therapy
Career coaching is goal orientated support to help clients make positive changes in their working life. To enable this we work collaboratively to help clients understand themselves - how they operate at work, what motivates them and what they need from their work.
Therapy on the other hand focuses on mental health and emotional healing. Career coaches are not equipped to diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
If you need help getting ‘unstuck’, building confidence or setting and achieving goals, coaching is for you. However please consider therapy if you want to heal past trauma or get help with difficult emotions or a mental health concern.
