Licensed coach: Fay Phillips-Jones
My coaching specialism is career transition and confidence coaching, with a particular focus on supporting HR professionals, mid-executive changers, returners, and those approaching or transitioning into retirement.
I work with individuals who are:
Feeling stuck or unfulfilled in their current role and ready for a change
Exploring side gigs, portfolio careers, or freelance work
Returning to the workplace after a career break
Navigating redundancy, restructure or career crossroads
Seeking greater clarity, purpose and confidence in their next chapter
With over 18 years’ experience in HR, recruitment and coaching, I bring a deep understanding of the career landscape from both the organisational and individual perspective. In addition to 1:1 career coaching, I also offer:
- CV and LinkedIn profile support to help clients stand out
- Mock interviews and interview confidence coaching
- Insights from both in-house and agency recruitment perspectives
My clients often come from HR, professional services, and corporate environments, but my approach is relevant to anyone ready to explore what’s next and take purposeful steps forward.
My coaching style is a blend of practical, real-world insight and genuine warmth and empathy. I bring a practitioner approach, grounded in over 18 years of hands-on experience in HR, recruitment and coaching within FTSE 100 and blue-chip organisations. This gives me a deep understanding of the challenges professionals face – from navigating complex career transitions to building confidence in high-pressure environments.
Clients often tell me they value the balance I strike between structured, actionable support and a safe, non-judgemental space where they can reflect, explore and be truly heard.
I combine a structured, goal-oriented approach with creativity, using powerful visualisation techniques and reflective tools to help clients explore deeply and think differently.
I’m not afraid to get practical – whether it’s refining a CV, prepping for interviews, or building a standout LinkedIn presence. Clients tell me they appreciate my ability to balance insight and encouragement with straight-talking advice, helping them feel more confident, focused and motivated.
Above all, my coaching is person-centred, values-led and tailored to the individual – because no two career journeys are the same.
