As a Career Coach, I help and support clients find clarity and fulfilment in their careers, calling on over 7 years coaching experience and a wealth of business experience.
I’m a qualified Coach with an MSc in Career Coaching and 25+ years experience in Business and People Management, which has provided me with a solid commercial background and a wealth of experience in supporting people plan, develop and progress their careers.
These are some of the key areas I can help you with:
Career Change / Career Development: if you’re looking to make a change but are unsure what you want to do next; you want help in getting clarity in your decisions; or support to help you plan and prepare for your next change to achieve your aims and objectives.
Career Problems: if you’re experiencing difficulties in your current role and want help working through these. You may be struggling with imposter feelings or working in a stressful workplace, experiencing anxiety, overwhelm or burnout.
Interview Issues: if you’re ready to make a change but don’t feel confident with interviews, interview coaching will help you overcome this and move forwards with confidence.
Not Getting Interviews: if your CV and LinkedIn aren’t getting you noticed you may need help with enhancing these to meet current expectations
Career Coaching
If you need help in your career, often 3-6 coaching sessions are enough to set you on a good path, but this is completely flexible. Sessions, via Zoom or Teams, will be designed around your needs which we’ll discuss during a free introductory call.
Overwhelm and burnout have become more prevalent and toxic workplaces are the cause of much unhappiness. I combine coaching techniques with aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help tackle the stress and frustration that come with career dissatisfaction or overwhelm. CBT can help with overcoming limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome, and managing the anxiety that can lead to overwhelm and burnout.

Interview Coaching
These are some common areas that we often fall down on in interviews. If you recognise any of these, Interview Coaching will help you improve your performance and confidence:
- Rambling and losing focus in your answer
- Not confidently selling your strengths and skills
- Not providing suitable examples that show how your skills and experience match the role
- Not taking credit for your own achievements
Successfully handling interviews is a skill in itself and it’s a fact that we get better at interviews the more we practice. With Interview Coaching, I will help you become fully prepared and confident to face any interview.
I offer an Interview Coaching package of 3 sessions via Zoom / Teams. These sessions are tailored to you and your requirements to help you:
- Confidently talk about ‘you’
- Confidently present your skills, strengths, experience and achievements
- Answer situational and competency-based questions with clarity
- Answer questions on a weakness or an area for development with confidence
- Understand the psychology behind the interview process
- Gain lasting skills to set you up for all future interviews
3 Sessions: £275
CV & LinkedIn
I offer an expert level CV and LinkedIn writing service.
As every CV and LinkedIn profile is unique and take varying lengths of time to produce depending on the amount of work required, these are priced individually.
Please contact me to discuss further.

About Me
I love coaching and helping my clients find their best selves, develop their careers and find fulfilling roles.
My own career started in Finance, working for a city-based Insurance Broker before moving to join the Finance teams at Honda and Jardine Matheson. From there I joined British Airways and enjoyed a 14+ year career with the airline, progressing into leadership positions in Sales, Marketing, Training and Project Management.
Returning to work after a career break, I worked in the Education sector for a while before moving back into the business world, to a senior management role leading a sales team and working with multi-million£ companies, delivering annual sales of over £12m.
People development has always been my passion and when I decided it was time to make a career change, I retrained as a Career Coach, gaining a Master’s Degree in Career Coaching from the University of East London.
I’ve since added a CBT Practitioner qualification to give me further skills to help clients overcome the issues that are causing them stress, frustration or career ‘stuckness’ and bring about positive change.
