Career Coaching Services
What is career coaching?
Career coaching is about gaining the support, tools and guidance you need so that you can both recognise and achieve your potential. Coaching empowers you to overcome whatever challenges you’re facing in your career or job search.
Sometimes this is through using more directive tools and exercises and sometimes it’s through deeper discussion. In a coach/client relationship, you hold the agenda – after all, they’re your goals. Working with a career coach can help you to develop the confidence and motivation to manage your career both in the short and long term.
How I can help
I offer a range of services for those at a decision point in their career, including you if you’re:
In the early stage of your career and starting to doubt if it’s the right fit for you
In your 30s-40s and wondering about changing career direction – you may have no idea what else you could do, or you may know what you’d like to do but don’t know how to make it happen
Wondering about returning to work after a career break – your ideas about your future have changed and you’re not sure how to find a way back into work
At the start of your career journey and need to make decisions about your education or career
You're an executive or senior professional at the peak of your career, but something's not working out

Executive Career Coaching
Have you reached a senior leadership position at work, but finding you’re lacking in purpose and motivation? Is something getting in the way of you achieving your full potential? Perhaps you have a desire to change career altogether, but feel concerned that there’s too much at stake at this stage in your career. Coinciding with this, you might be experiencing considerable stress at work, feel close to burnout or an increasing sense of imposter syndrome since moving into an executive position.
Whatever your career challenge is right now, figuring this out on your own can feel lonely and daunting. Coaching with Georgie can help you to understand the underlying issues, to gain a different perspective and work on clear pragmatic steps that will enable you to take action and reach your career goals. If it’s a change of career you are after, I will support you to expedite your transition. I create the space for you to work through your challenges so that you can be the best version of you. My approach to coaching will enable you to feel more in control and gain the clarity to make decisions so that you can achieve what right now seems impossible.
