Frequently asked questions
How much does career coaching cost?
A single session is £150. Packages are Career Uplift (3 sessions) £400, Career Reset (5 sessions) £600, Career Transformation (8 sessions) £800 and Career BFF Unlimited £1,000 over 18 months. Klarna, Clearpay and instalments are available.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on where you are. Some people get what they need from one focused session, many choose three or five sessions, and longer moves like a career change often suit eight sessions or ongoing support. We work this out together on your free intro call.
Is coaching online or in person?
Both. I am based in Oxfordshire and can meet in person locally and in London. Online sessions are available for anyone across the UK.
Will you find me a job? Are you a recruiter?
No. I am a coach, not a recruiter. I help you get clear on what you want, position yourself well and reach the right people, so you are in a strong place to land the role yourself.
How quickly can I start?
Start by booking a free 30-minute intro call. If we are a good fit, we can usually get your first session in the diary soon after.
What if I'm not sure what I want?
That is completely normal and a common place to start. Early sessions focus on your career story, strengths and achievements so you get real clarity on what is next before we work on CVs, LinkedIn or applications.
