Your career is about more than your next job


At times, you're facing immediate decisions - whether to pursue a new opportunity, respond to changes at work, or reconsider your professional direction. 

At other times, your focus is more developmental - understanding your strengths, building confidence, improving how you communicate, or considering what you want from the next stage of your working life.

Career Coaching provides an ongoing space to work through these situations as they arise, while developing greater self-awareness and a more deliberate approach to your professional choices.

The focus is on understanding what matters to you, exploring the opportunities and challenges ahead, and developing the confidence and judgement to make decisions that are right for you. Rather than prescribing a particular direction, coaching helps you take greater ownership of your professional future.


How Coaching is structured


We meet fortnightly for 60-minute sessions. This cadence keeps the work grounded in what you are actively navigating, while allowing space to apply the work between sessions.

The engagement is ongoing and adapts to what is most relevant - at times focused on immediate career situations, and at others on longer-term professional development. 

What happens in a session


Each session is shaped by what is most relevant to you.

Situational
Working through career decisions, navigating workplace dynamics, responding to setbacks, or managing professional transitions. 

Developmental
Often informed by professional goals, feedback, ambition, or uncertainty about next steps. Common areas include confidence, communication, career direction, self-advocacy, and professional development.

Foundational
Patterns often emerge - how you respond to uncertainty, approach opportunities, recognise your strengths and make decisions about your future. Where useful, we work with these directly to better understand what may be shaping your professional behaviour and choices.

What you will gain


In the short term
Greater clarity around decisions, opportunities, workplace challenges, professional transitions and career direction.

Over time
A more deliberate and confident approach to your career. You may find you:
  • communicate your value more clearly
  • approach opportunities with greater confidence
  • make career decisions more deliberately
  • navigate professional change more effectively
  • feel more aligned with the direction you are pursuing

At a deeper level
A clearer understanding of your strengths, values, motivations and the patterns that influence your professional choices. This can help you make decisions that are more considered and better aligned with what matters to you.

Your role


You are the expert on you. The work centres on your thinking, behaviour, and insight.

Its value depends on how you engage with it - bringing relevant material into sessions, engaging honestly in the process, and following through, where appropriate, between sessions.

Where the work is developmental, this includes applying new approaches in practice and reflecting on the outcome.

My role as your coach


My role is primarily non-directive, focused on helping you arrive at your own considered position. At the same time, it is not passive. I will question assumptions, test your thinking, and introduce alternative perspectives where useful.

Where appropriate, I may also share relevant persepctives drawn from recruitment, interview, and workplace experience to support your progress.

Everything is in service of strengthening your judgement and capability, not replacing it.

Confidentiality


All sessions are confidential and conducted within a professional coaching framework, in line with International Coaching Federation (ICF) core competencies and Code of Ethics

This provides a space for safe, open, considered, and appropriately challenging discussion.
