Career coaching support for career change, progression, and early career decisions.
What Is Career Coaching?
Career coaching helps you step back and make sense of where you are in your working life and where you want to go next. For marketing and business professionals, this often means navigating periods of change, uncertainty, or growth, whether that is feeling stuck in a role, questioning your direction, or preparing for a new stage in your career.
I support people who want clearer direction and more confidence in their decisions. Through structured conversations and practical exercises, we work on understanding your strengths, motivations, and priorities, and how these translate into realistic career options. This approach helps you move away from overthinking and towards decisions that feel aligned with both who you are and the market you are operating in.
Career coaching is particularly valuable when you are changing roles, shifting industries, returning after burnout, or starting out and needing guidance. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you see your options more clearly, build confidence, and take practical steps forward at a pace that feels right for you.
This coaching is for professionals who care about results and wellbeing...and do not want to choose between the two.

The Tools I Use
MENTAL IMAGERY
We use guided visualisation to tap into your intuition and rehearse key moments so your confidence grows.
IKIGAI
We map what you enjoy, what you do well and what you can be paid for, to shape work that feels meaningful.
CORE ENERGY COACHING™
We analyse your thoughts and emotions shape your actions, then shift your energy so you can respond in more helpful ways.
RESSOURCES
I recommend targeted podcasts, videos, books and articles that deepen the work in a way that fits around your life.
ANALYSIS & EXERCISES
After each session you receive a full recap, insights, exercises and journaling prompts to support your growth between calls.
MENTORING
I share insights from my 20 years in marketing and leadership roles, so you get context and shortcuts, not just theory.
FUSE Coaching Programme
As an International Expansion Consultant, I support startups and SMEs in entering new markets across the UK and Europe. These service areas combine market insight, localisation, channel strategy, and hands-on execution to give you clear direction and practical steps you can act on straight away.
GETTING STARTED
We begin with a free 40-minute conversation to talk about where you are right now and what feels unclear or challenging.
It’s a space to explore your goals, ask questions, and see whether coaching feels like the right support for you.
There’s no pressure to decide anything on the call. It’s simply a chance for us to understand each other and check that it feels like a good fit.
FORMATS AND PACING
Coaching sessions are 1:1, virtual, and last 60 minutes, giving you dedicated space to think, reflect, and move forward.
Most people choose weekly or bi-weekly sessions, which helps keep momentum and see progress more quickly. That said, pacing stays flexible and can adapt to your work and life commitments.
I usually recommend 6 to 8 sessions to create meaningful change. For many clients, this first block of coaching runs over 2 to 3 months, giving both structure and depth without feeling overwhelming.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Coaching goes beyond conversation. Alongside the sessions, you receive practical, hands-on support where it’s useful.
Support with your CV, LinkedIn profile, and professional story
Preparation for job interviews, key meetings, or annual reviews
Email support between sessions for questions, updates, or quick guidance
A written recap after every session, capturing key insights, decisions, actions, exercises, and resources
You’re supported throughout the process, not just during sessions.
OUTCOMES AND PRICING
At the end of your programme, we take time to review what has shifted, what you’ve learned, and what you want to keep building next.
You’ll receive a personalised 30-page coaching workbook, bringing together your reflections, tools, clarity, and next steps in one place.
Some people choose to stop here, while others continue with lighter ongoing or executive support, depending on their needs.
Investment:
£190 per 60-minute session.
A typical programme of 6–8 sessions from £1,140 to £1,520

Choosing a career coach is about trust as much as expertise. Many people look for someone who understands both the human side of career decisions and the realities of modern business.
Alongside being a certified executive and career coach (iPEC) and coaching MBA students at Cambridge Judge Business School, I bring over 20 years of experience working in marketing and business, including hiring, leading teams, and supporting growth at senior level.
I also work with companies as a Fractional CMO, which gives me a current, hands-on view of how organisations make decisions, recruit talent, and assess potential.
This combination means coaching with me is grounded, practical, and realistic. You can learn more about my background and approach on my About me page.
A career coach provides personalised guidance and support to help you clarify your goals, navigate decisions, and make practical progress in your career. They work with you on things like identifying strengths, refining your professional story, and preparing for transitions.
I work closely with you to make sense of your options, build confidence, and take action that fits both you and the market you’re aiming for.
Career coaching helps you prepare for interviews by building your confidence, refining your answers, and practicing real scenarios so you show up consistently and clearly.
I’ll work with you on interview techniques, question responses, and role-play so you feel grounded and ready, not anxious or unsure.
Many people find career coaching valuable when they feel stuck, uncertain, or ready for meaningful change. It can help you make decisions with clarity and save time by avoiding trial-and-error approaches. With my experience supporting professionals across marketing and business sectors, I focus on outcomes that position you for growth rather than just talking through problems.
That depends on your goals. Some people see noticeable shifts in thinking and confidence in just a few sessions, while others use a longer block of coaching to transform direction, identity, or role outcomes.
I usually recommend 6–8 sessions as a starting point to build momentum and see meaningful change, with pacing that fits your schedule.
A typical session is a structured conversation about where you are now, what you want next, and the steps to get there. Coaches help you reflect, set goals, and build action plans. You can also work on practical things like CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and interview rehearsals.
I tailor each session to what matters most for you right now and help you leave with clear, practical next steps.
Career coaching can help professionals at many stages, from graduates figuring out their first steps to experienced marketers considering promotion or change. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed by choice, or ready to make a shift but unsure how, coaching offers external perspective, structured support, and accountability.
Career coaching costs vary by coach and format, but many clients invest in blocks of sessions rather than one-offs. I offer flexible pricing depending on your goals and structure, and we can discuss options during a free introductory call to find the right fit for you or your employer’s development budget. Industry discussions online show that people often weigh cost against outcomes like stronger applications, clearer direction, or faster progress.
A mentor shares advice based on their own career experience, often within a specific field or organisation. A career coach creates a structured process to help you discover your path, build confidence, and take action based on your goals. Coaching is focused on you and your choices, not someone else’s career story. I bring both context from business and structured support, helping you make your own decisions with confidence.
Yes. Career coaching is especially useful when you’re considering a shift in direction and need clarity about your options, strengths, and transferable skills. We work together to explore paths, identify barriers, and develop a realistic plan that balances aspiration and opportunity. I help you think through strategy as well as practical steps to make that transition smoother.
Ahead of our first session, I usually send a few light preparation questions to help you reflect on your situation and clarify what you’d like to focus on. They’re there to help you make the most of our time together.
Other than that, there’s nothing specific you need to prepare. Just bring yourself, your honesty, and a willingness to be open. I’ll guide the conversation and support you through the process from there.
