Registered Career Development Professional | Career Coach
Chartered MCIPD MCDI PgDip Guidance & Assessment
Former HR Management Consultant with 24+ years of experience in the development and delivery of executive-level career coaching and outplacement services. I was inspired to enter the field of career guidance and development due to my passion for helping people discover fulfilling careers.
I believe in the powerful combination of theory, psychology, observation, congruence and application as the basis of a holistic individualised approach to classic career coaching. It is important to me that I offer personal support at a time of such transition.
Listening to background stories and understanding what ‘makes them tick’ means that I can assist clients better recognise their own skills, knowledge and experience and how they can harness this in an active successful job search.
As a Global Career Transition Professional, I have helped over 900 clients at all levels, from many different sectors and from all over the world.
I am able to use a variety of exercises and psychometric tools to supplement career exploration coaching sessions.
