Career Support

Careers Support for Individuals, Groups, and Organisations

My aim is to help you become more self-aware, more confident, and more independent.  I am the expert in career counselling and life coaching. You are the expert in yourself.  With my support and your commitment you can develop the behaviours and skills to have a satisfying, fulfilling career.

1:1 careers guidance support is offered on a sliding scale from £50-85 per 50 minute session, depending on what you feel you can contribute.

In addition to one-to-one work, I can provide group careers and professional development workshops for universities and other organisations. Email me to discuss your needs and book a bespoke programme for your students or staff.

Career  Planning

We can never have 100% control over our careers, but my aim is to help you acquire the tools, learning, self-awareness, and skills to have as much influence as you can.  As the adage goes, plans are useless - but planning is essential.  Our lives and the world we live in are ever changing, solid career planning skills will help you adapt, cope, and flourish.

Career Development

Careers guidance isn't just for people starting or changing careers.  It's also about your ambitions and motivations in your current role, and ideas you may have for progression and growth.  We can identify actions for you to take to enrich your career, at whatever stage you may be at.

Academic and Research Careers

I have worked in UK HE as an academic, careers adviser, learning technologist, and professional development manager for over 20 years - including supporting the careers of undegraduates, research students, research staff and senior academic colleagues

 Person-centred

The support I offer will be tailored to you and your needs, grounded in evidenced-based practices.  I don't use off-the-shelf pre-planned programmes or tests.  Together we can create a personalised programme that's just for you.

Career Anxiety

Anxiety is a perfectly natural, even welcome emotion, in managing your career.  Suppressing normal feelings of anxiety is unlikely to be effective, and runs the risk of losing out learning more about yourself and your situation. I can help you learn to manage emotions in ways that enhance your career development.

Diversity & Equality 

Who you are and your lived experience matters to me.  My aim is support you in bringing your authentic self to your career goals. Together we can explore how you can make the most of your different types of 'capital' - social, family, linguistic, networks, and more.
