Take control, find direction - your next move starts here

Whether you’re navigating difficult conversations with your manager, seeking a promotion, or feeling stuck and unsure of your next step, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

With a clear, structured approach, my coaching focuses on three key stages:

1. Discover Your Goals

Together, we’ll identify what you truly want from your career. Whether you have a clear vision or feel completely lost, we'll uncover the goals that align with your values, strengths, and ambitions.

2. Create a Personalised Strategy

Once your goals are clear, we’ll build a tailored plan that fits your situation, your industry, and your personal working style. We’ll find practical, realistic ways to move forward - whether that's progression within your current role, building a case for a promotion, or pivoting into something new.

3. Ongoing Support and Accountability

I’ll be alongside you as you work through your strategy - offering honest, compassionate support without corporate jargon. I’ll keep you accountable, help you navigate challenges as they come up, and celebrate your wins along the way.

How Career Coaching Can Help You

Prepare for Difficult Conversations

Learn how to approach tricky conversations with clarity and confidence - even if you’re not getting much support internally. I’ll help you advocate for yourself, navigate feedback, and feel more in control of your career discussions.

Find Your Next Step

If you feel stuck, lost, or like you’ve outgrown your current role, we’ll work together to explore new opportunities and uncover the right direction for you - whether that’s within your current industry or something completely new.

Build a Career Growth Plan

Take charge of your own professional development, whether or not your company has formal structures in place. Together, we’ll build a clear, realistic plan tailored to your career ambitions.

Navigate Change with Confidence

Whether you're switching industries, retraining, or stepping into a brand-new role, you’ll have structured support at every stage. I’ll help you manage the fear and uncertainty that come with change, and move forward with a solid strategy.

Adapt Strategies to Your Working Style

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. I’ll help you find strategies that play to your strengths, suit your challenges, and fit the way you work best - so your plan feels achievable and sustainable.

Gain Honest, Straight-Talking Support

You'll get compassionate, realistic support - no confusing buzzwords or corporate jargon. I’ll keep things honest and grounded, so you always know exactly where you stand and what your next step is.

Why I’m Passionate About Career Coaching

I’ve experienced both ends of the spectrum: supportive managers who champion growth - and unfortunately, line management and business practices that left me feeling frustrated, demotivated, and stuck.

Those challenging experiences, while difficult at the time, gave me powerful insights into how to manage tricky conversations, advocate for your own growth, and stay empowered even in difficult environments.

I also know what it feels like to be completely unsure of your next move. Having made the leap myself - retraining and moving into a new industry and profession - I understand how scary, overwhelming, and isolating that can feel.

I’ll support you through it with straight-talking, honest advice, helping you explore your options clearly and find a direction that feels achievable and exciting for you.

You’ll get compassionate, direct support, without confusing buzzwords or unrealistic expectations. I’ll work with you to create clear, achievable steps - however big or small they may need to be for you - and always keep your goals and wellbeing at the centre of our work.
