About me

During this time I undertook some Career Coaching for myself and loved it so much I started training as a Coach at the BBC.  I was shortly seconded to their internal Coaching Team.  I supported and coached personnel through really difficult times and decisions during a major phase of compulsory redundancies, easing their exit from the BBC.  It was at this point I finally found out what I really wanted to do – Career Coaching.  I loved it. It ticked all the boxes for me, so as my confidence, experience and Coaching practice grew, I decided to look at developing this as my long term career plan.

I am a qualified Careers Adviser and work as a Career Coach. I am regarded as a Specialist in all aspects of Career Development, Advice and Guidance, CV writing and Interview Techniques with extensive Career Coaching experience under my belt.  I have a strong portfolio of both professional private and corporate clients across the UK and internationally.

I have worked as an Associate Career Consultant for some of the most highly respected and recognised Career Outplacement Companies in the UK alongside other amazing Coaches.

I also contribute to some amazing Careers focused sites such as The Ambition Plan.

I am really proud to continue to work as an Associate Career Consultant and Workshop Facilitator for the Career Transition Partnership .  They provide Resettlement Support for Service Leavers transitioning out of the UK’s Armed Forces in to civilian careers.

Every month I write an extremely popular Careers Advice Column for In & Around Publishing as an Ambassador for ‘doing a job you love’.

I am an active member of my local Chamber of Commerce, supporting and working with local businesses and the community.

Every client I meet is different and I really love getting to find out what help you need, what motivates and inspires you.

I am determined to help you ‘do the job you love’ – just as I did!

I work with the individual, for the individual and will put you at the very heart of everything I do.

What makes me different? I will not tie you in to any set Career Coaching programmes as I strongly believe every client is different and needs a unique programme to support them.  So I build it around you.

You will not be expected to work at my pace or pay for a whole programme upfront, we will work at your pace through a proven and successful process.  One size does not fit all.

My natural, friendly and personable approach along with my intuitive manner, means I can quickly build a good rapport with you, forge a strong working relationship to gain your respect and trust and empower you through your career transition – whatever that may be.

I totally appreciate how taking that initial step to engage with a Career Coach is a challenging and scary one – it’s about being brave and being able to recognise you need to ask for some professional help or support.  So that is why I offer a free telephone consultation so you can talk it through on your terms.

Finally, having that trust is so important which is why I am fully compliant with GDPR Regulations and a member of the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).  I also hold both Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance. For your added security and assurance, I am also fully DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) and Security Checked.

It requires real commitment to make the changes necessary to improve on the job you have or get that job or career you’ve always dreamed of!  However, as a Career Coach, I am not there to do it for you so you have to be committed to the process and ‘show up’ with the determination to make it happen.

I will give you all the support and the tools you need to make it happen, however, ultimately, the answers lie within you and you have to make it happen.

It’s watching my clients become more confident and transform their career choices in to something they really love! It really is as simple as that.  If you need some convincing, take a look at the Success Stories to hear what people have to say about it.
