FAQs

What is career coaching?

Coaching is a partnership, defined as an alliance between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximise personal and professional potential.

It is a supportive process that helps people to move forward, set personal and professional goals that will give them the life they really want.

I accompany my clients on their journey of discovery, for a period of time.

As coach I will listen, observe, question, query, feedback, guide, support, challenge, encourage and empower you.

Is career coaching what I’m looking for?

Are you an ambitious professional with ideas, vision and high hopes for the future? 

Is there something you keep putting off, a dream, a goal or a vision for the life you’d like?

Are you feeling stuck in a rut, unhappy with your job, in need of a change?  

Are you starting out on a new path and need some support to build your confidence?

Are you keen to learn about yourself, your values, skills and motivations?

Is coaching like counselling?

A counsellor/therapist  helps people with psychological/emotional problems, often these problems arise from the past.

Coaching is future-oriented, goal-orientated and is about facilitating self-directed learning. Emotional issues and mindset do of course play a role in the coaching coversation but the focus is on practical actionable steps.

How does it work?

I work from two distinct angles:

Personal development –  life and work values, balance and imbalance in your life, your vision for the future, your dreams, mindset/behaviour, self-limiting beliefs/fears, your strengths and skills etc…

Practical elements of getting there – CV review, interview preparation, online presence, job search strategy, goal mapping, entrepreneurship, business planning etc…

What will I get out of it?

You will explore your vision, your talents, your strengths.

You will  gain confidence, clarity, insight, self-knowledge and feel inspired  to go after the job/career you want.

With my support you will focus, strategise and define the actionable steps you need to take to make changes, address your mindset, develop your skill set and define clear goals.

See Testimonials to hear from previous clients.

How long does it take?

Making real change is a process, it requires thought and reflection.

The most popular package is 3 months but I am always felxible to the needs of each individual. Clients often return for check-in sessions.

Coaching is about self-directed learning and becoming more resourceful, so once you pick up some of the techniques, you will be able to put them into practice yourself.

How do I get started?

Initial consultation is free of charge.
