I am an ICF ACC Accredited Coach and Facilitator specialising in all aspects of career development, change and transition.   I am the ‘go-to’ Career Coach for professionals who want to get the best out of themselves.

 

I bring a wealth of experience following a successful, 20 year career at the BBC in both HR & Recruitment.

 

Whilst working in BBC Recruitment, I trained with the award winning Career Counselling Services as a Career Counsellor and Career Coach

 

In 2010 I made a big (and rather scary!) leap out of the corporate world and the BBC, to establish my own Career Coaching practice.  Whilst it was terrifying, it was also thrilling to finally align all my passions, values, experience and strengths in to a new venture and a career I absolutely love!

 

Since then, I have built a strong portfolio of personal, business and corporate clients, working with individuals, SME’s and global outplacement organisations.

 

I later trained with the world-class Coaching Training School, Barefoot Coaching and completed their Accredited Coach Training Program and became an Accredited Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation.  I am currently finishing my Post Graduate Certificate in Business and Personal Coaching with the University of Chester.

 

Alongside working with private clients, I also work as an Associate Coach for following organisations:

 

• BetterUp – the Worlds largest Mental Health and Coaching company.  I Coach global leaders through the BetterUp platform to help them live with greater clarity, purpose, and passion.

 

• The Career Transition Partnership / Right Management I facilitate regular Career Transition Workshops for Military personnel transitioning out of the UK’s Armed Forces in to the civilian employment.

 

• Rest Less – the UK’s fastest growing digital membership community, built to inspire the over 50s.  I coach their members through career change and transition.

 

I am absolutely passionate about what I do and what I offer; enabling my clients to recognise and achieve their potential.

I am trained and qualified as a Career Counsellor, Careers Adviser and as an Accredited ACC Coach with the ICF,  adhering to their strict code of ethics.

Whilst I no longer work as a Careers Adviser, my focus and expertise is in both Career Coaching AND Career Counselling.  This means I am expertly qualified and experienced to support you in any of the following areas:

 

Career Development – helping you to get that promotion, succession planning and creating goals for your career progression.

 

Career Confidence – improving your confidence at work, presenting yourself professionally in meetings, effectively managing your working relationships.

 

Career Change and Transition – supporting you to make meaningful and successful change in your career, whether that’s finding your next promotion, job role or enabling you to get clarity and identify a completely new career and the steps needed to get there.

 

Enabling clarity, getting un-stuck – helping you with particular problems and challenges where you feel stuck and need new ideas and clarity.  Coaching enables you to start seeing things from a different perspective and enables you to co-create new visions and ideas that don’t exist yet.

 

Dealing with over-whelm – helping you to identify the areas in which you feel overwhelmed and supporting you with strategies and guidance to overcome them.

 

Team Coaching – working with you and your team to work through organisational change programs, build collaborative and effective working relationships and communication.

 

Workplace Performance – working with you and your team(s) to support and enable effective workplace performance, helping you to deliver and promote personal and professional potential.

 “When the fog of fear and doubt clears, the path appears, beckoning the first step”.  Let me walk the path with you.

 

I believe there is no greater reward than building professional and authentic relationships with my clients to enable them to reach their full potential.  I am passionate about getting the very best from people, so they can get the absolute best for themselves.

 

My passions and values are all centred around working with integrity, helping others to achieve meaning and success and working with sense of purpose.

 

I will not tie you in to any pre-set Career Coaching programs. I strongly believe every client and every team is different and needs a unique approach to support them.  So, I build everything around you!

 

I totally appreciate how taking that initial step to engage with a Career Coach is a challenging and sometimes scary one – it’s about being brave and being comfortable asking for some professional help or support.

 

Equally, if your company or organisation is going through a change program or wants to invest in supporting its employees to reach their potential, get in touch.

 

I offer a free 30 minute telephone ‘Career Conversation‘ so you can find out if it’s right for you.  I will send you a full Career Coaching Information pack and arrange a follow up call to answer any questions you may have.

 

Trust is critical to any successful working relationships.  Which is why I am fully compliant with GDPR Regulations and have both Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance.  For your added security and assurance, I am also fully DBS checked and, as I work with the Military, I am Security Checked to a very high level.
