Feeling TRAPPED?

Always SEARCHING?

On average we spend a third of our lives at work so if you’re frustrated with your career, it matters!

Feeling Lost?

Loving what you do has a positive impact on your physical and mental health, relationships, confidence, and self-esteem.

How I Can Help You…

I am a professional career coach with 20 years of experience in teaching, teacher training, and leadership training. Based in Chichester, West Sussex, I bring my knowledge of how people learn and develop to my coaching. I help people navigate career change and achieve their career goals. Using research in neuroscience and cognitive science, I create personalised learning experiences focused on positive change.

I help my clients:

  • Gain clarity and take control of a new career or new direction.
  • Overcome anxieties and fears.
  • Develop the essential mindset and confidence for job seeking, applications and interviews.
  • Uncover values, strengths, skills, and abilities to make job applications stand out.
  • Craft strategic plans to achieve long-term career goals.

What is Coaching?

Coaching supports you to navigate uncertainty.  It helps you to look at things from a different perspective and stop procrastinating.

The approach is both reflective and active. You will go through a process of career innovation and develop your own new career identity. I will help you to get out of your head and into action. Once you get into action you will quickly gain traction towards achieving your career goals.

 

You will gain confidence by doing things you’ve never done before.

Become strong enough, brave enough and confident enough to find fulfilment in your work.
