CAREER CHANGE COACHING

 ~ 

FOR ADULTS & YOUNG PEOPLE

Online Only

I support adults through mid-life career change and young people reconsidering their direction after entering the workforce.

Wherever you are in life, you want to make a change in your career, but don’t know how or where to start. Perhaps you’re experiencing a lack of confidence and sense of feeling stuck. Having experienced my own sense of unease within my previous career in fashion, I understand that change can feel big and scary! I attribute my big career shift down to my own work through the Firework programme.

I became a licenced Firework  Career Change Coach in 2018 and am also a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor. Change often comes with a lot of anxiety and stress and I combine my coaching with more therapeutic work to support you through the challenges you face.

Now, with the privilege of insight as both client and coach, I look forward to supporting you in gaining clarity, confidence and fulfilment in your working lives.

What is Firework™?

Developed in 2004 and based on three years of research, the Firework™ programme is one of the longest-established career coaching programmes in Europe. Its structure offers space to stimulate your creativity and imagination and discover your strengths and values. It enables you to become clear about what you want from your career and devise a plan on how to create it. It implements a variety of engaging tools, from written exercises to guided visualisations, all thoroughly tried and tested.

The Firework™ programme is flexible and whilst I use this approach as the main body for our work together, I adapt each session to your individual needs. This is not a rigid one-size-fits-all system. No two people are the same and therefore what works for one person may not work for another. Each step along the way we collaborate to ensure you are getting a programme tailored towards your personal progress.

Each step along the way we collaborate to ensure you are getting a programme tailored towards your personal progress.

The Firework™ programme works through three phases:


‘Explore’
is a journey of self discovery in life and work, inquiring into who you are now and what you want to be. You’ll gain insights into your strengths, achievements and understand what makes you tick and brings you fulfilment.

‘Dream’ is the stage where you let your imagination and desires be expressed, generating a bank of ideas that offer a spectrum of career possibilities. From here, using the knowledge you’ve gained from the Explore stage, you’ll begin to hone in on the direction that feels right for you.

‘Discover’ bridges the gap between the situation you’re ‘stuck’ in now and where you want to be. It will give shape and form to your vision and provide the opportunity to formulate practical and actionable steps towards your new reality.

 

Fees

As a standalone, the full Firework programme is a minimum commitment of 14 weeks.
Sessions are 1 hour at £70 per session
