I provide services for students and young people, including Y12/13 students, school leavers, those who are studying or training, and recent graduates.

I provide services for adults re-entering the workforce, and those who are looking to change jobs or careers.

I also provide service for employers who want to support their staff with mentoring, and outplacement support for employees facing redundancy.

Family and friends often offer advice, but it’s not always helpful. As an expert in careers and coaching, my services will provide you with impartial, practical, and expert guidance that will help you to feel empowered with your career decisions and direction.

My service include elements of careers guidance and coaching, which combine to provide a powerful support and outcomes. Although I am a qualified careers advisor and coach, unlike many others in this field I don’t have a background as an academic or teacher; as a business owner and employer I also offer firsthand knowledge of the world of work and provide practical, realistic advice that gets results.

My foundation careers service for students is a succinct 2-session programme, with online profiling tasks to complete in between.

I have a range of options for my adult, mentoring and outplacement services, with additional time required outside of the sessions to complete online profiling tasks and exercises.

All of my services are positive and engaging ! I follow a clear process involving background knowledge, testing, analysing and planning. You will need to come along with an open mind, ready to talk and share your thoughts and ideas.

All of my clients will get to know themselves better, have a deeper understanding of the types of career pathways and work environments that might suit them, and create a plan they can put into action.

I can help you no matter where you’re starting from, no matter what role or industry you’re in, no matter what you’d like to change or resolve, no matter what goals you’d like to achieve.

If you’re interested to learn more, I’d love to get on a call to explain the process and learn more about your situation and goals. Don’t hesitate to get in touch!

No! My role is to guide you through the process, offer advice, recommendations and feedback. Sometimes I may ask tough questions or provide thoughts that come from a different perspective, but this is all part of the process. It is my job to help you gain a clear understanding of all your options so you can make well-informed decisions and take aligned action to help achieve your goals. But ultimately the decisions are yours to make.

Yes. Everything that is discussed or disclosed during all of my services is highly confidential and I will acknowledge your thoughts, feelings, and ideas with respect.

I will only disclose information to others if I am concerned for your safety, or I am compelled to do so by law.

I meet with clients at my office in Hastings, at their office, or via Zoom.  I have clients located across the country, so Zoom is not a problem; it allows my clients to set up for their session in a quiet, private place where they feel most comfortable, with no lost travel time. 

My private meeting room is located within the Creative Marketing office: 1st Floor, 209 Queen Street East, Hastings (big black building to the left of Brave Brewing - to access, walk down the driveway to the right of the building – there is a door near the back of the building with entry to a stairwell. Come up to the first floor and take a seat on one of the couches in the reception area.)

I also hold many of my sessions via Zoom or Google Meet, so can help you no mater where you’re located.

Yes, there is parking on the road outside my office. Please make sure to pay for parking via the machines, as parking wardens do patrol.

My initial consultation is via a 15-minute phone or Zoom call to discuss your situation, so I can understand more about your requirements and answer any questions you may have.

This is an opportunity for me to get to know you, but also for you to get to know me and my style, so you can feel 100% confident that I am the right person to help you.

If, after our initial consultation, you decide that you don’t want to proceed any further (for whatever reason), that is absolutely fine.

Absolutely. If you consider the costs involved (time, money, emotional and mental) of proceeding down the wrong track for study, or being in a job you hate for hours on end, day-after-day, year-after-year, my services are an incredibly worthwhile investment in your own wellbeing.

The fact is that when you have a life and career that you want, and you feel truly fulfilled and happy, the money invested will be more than worth it.

If you’re not happy at any time, please phone me or email me with your concerns so that we can discuss them. If I do not know you are unhappy or have concerns, I am not able to resolve them!

Yes. I have a Diploma in Career Guidance (Distinction) from the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology and certificates in life coaching from Life Coaching New Zealand. I am also fully accredited to use the Morrisby Profile system - a world-leading online careers system developed in the UK that uses comprehensive psychometric testing and scientific measurement to support my careers service. Find out more about me here.

Yes, I have standard Terms & Conditions that you will be required to read and agree to before we commence working together. This means that all parties are clear on our roles and commitments before we progress. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
