Where I can help

Clarity first. Then strategy.

Most people don’t need more generic career advice. They need to understand what fits them, what an employer is actually looking for, and how to communicate their evidence clearly.

01 - Direction

“I don’t know what I want to do.”

Career exploration and Psychometric Profiling to turn a fog of options into realistic, evidence-based directions.

02 - Applications

“I’m applying, but nothing’s happening.”

CV, LinkedIn and application support that makes your relevance obvious - without stuffing a page with buzzwords.

03 - Interviews

“I get interviews, but not offers.”

Interview Coaching built around what recruiters really listen for: clear answers, strong evidence and visible impact.

Why work with me

I’ve sat on the other side of the interview table.

Before becoming a career coach, I spent over a decade in recruitment, including managing a London recruitment branch. I know how quickly decisions are made - and what separates candidates who sound capable from candidates who make the decision easy.

My coaching is practical, direct and confidence-building. I won’t tell you to memorise perfect answers. I’ll help you understand your value, find the evidence and communicate it naturally.

“The candidates who progressed made it easy for me to see why they were right for the role. They backed up what they said with clear, relevant evidence - so I didn't have to join the dots for them.” Ali Olins - Career Coach & former recruiter

After being out of work for a while, I’ve been offered a job at the BBC. This job search has felt so much easier because of your help, especially around believing in myself. I went into the interview really believing in what I can do - and I think that’s why I got the job.

The difference in my interviews and HireVues is tangible. How I structure answers is much better, even my non-verbal communication feels more natural. I’m now excited to go into interviews and show off my skills, not incredibly nervous.
