Licensed Firework coaches

I’m a HCPC registered healthcare professional with extensive experience across the NHS, third sector, and not-for-profit sectors. I know first-hand how it feels to be stuck, burnt out, or unsure what you really want. I made a major career change in my twenties and now run my own business—so I understand the emotional and practical realities of navigating change, managing uncertainty, and redefining your path.

I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring and have taught coaching and mentoring skills at Master’s level. I’ve also worked with colleagues in a range of coaching and mentoring contexts, supporting professionals to gain clarity, reconnect with their values, and take action and change their career path.

I bring a grounded, relational approach to coaching. I’ve done the work myself—and now I help others do the same. If you're ready to reimagine your career, I offer structured support, honest reflection, and meaningful accountability to help you move forward.

As a Career Change and Job Search Coach—and a former Talent Acquisition Leader—I specialise in helping mid-career professionals navigate career transitions with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Whether you’re feeling stuck in your current role, exploring new career possibilities, or striving to overcome job search challenges, I empower you to take control of your career transition and move forward with actionable strategies.

As a licensed Firework Coach, certified Senior Professional Career Coach (SPCC), and trained Co-Active Coach, my coaching style is adaptable to the unique needs and goals of each client. I blend pure coaching with mentoring, offering both guidance and support throughout the process. I also see myself as a cheerleader and accountability partner, empowering my clients to stay motivated and take actionable steps toward their career aspirations.

I help mid-career professionals navigate their next career steps, empowering them to do work they truly enjoy.

The journey to finding meaningful work is both complex and deeply personal. Career choices are often influenced by various aspects of life, especially in the mid-career stage. While our career direction may evolve over time, it’s essential to make informed decisions when considering the next step.

I support professionals who are unsure where to begin their career transition, particularly those facing challenges such as:

A lack of challenge or growth

A desire for deeper meaning or purpose

Feeling stuck in their current role

A need for more flexibility and autonomy

Uncertainty around the next career direction

My coaching style is offering a space where the client can have a deeper self-reflection and learning.

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.

I coach people who are mid-career and don't know how they want to spend the next 20 years of their working life. Most of my clients have lost their confidence, struggle to articulate the value they bring as an employee and can't readily identify their transferable skills. With a background in professional services I particularly love supporting people in law and accounting firms. I also want to help small businesses where a career path is not as obvious so love hearing from people in that world.

My approach to coaching is rooted in the belief that with enough space and guided support, you have the answers to what you need within yourself.

Our relationship will be collaborative, to help you identify your strengths, uncover limiting beliefs, and develop practical strategies.

I believe that coaching is a process of self-discovery, and I provide a non-judgmental space for you to do just that. I'm not you, and I don't have your experiences, but I do have the skills and the time to help you uncover what's right for you.
