Don’t let fear choose your next chapter.

Strategic career coaching for ambitious women who’ve been made redundant — and sense that something in the next chapter needs to look different.

Most coaching helps you do things differently.
My work helps you see yourself differently.


You’re not just between jobs.

For most of the women I work with, redundancy surfaces something bigger. Not just the question of what’s next – but whether what came before was actually working.

The pressure to sort it out quickly is real. So is the pull toward something different. Holding both of those at once, while your confidence has taken a knock, is genuinely hard.

That’s where we start.

Not with interview prep or applications, but with understanding what you actually want next — and what may have been driving your decisions until now. Together, we untangle the habits ambitious women are often rewarded for professionally but which quietly cost them personally: over-functioning, over-delivering, underestimating yourself, adapting too quickly, asking too little.

The goal isn’t simply to help you find another job. It’s to help you make your next move with clarity, confidence, and intention.

The process

01

Centre

Redundancy can knock more than your confidence. It can disrupt your sense of identity, stability, and direction. Before making big decisions, we create enough space to process what’s happened properly so you’re not making your next move from fear, urgency, or burnout.

02

Clarify

Once the noise settles, we look at what you actually want next. Not what looks sensible on paper. Not what other people expect from you. Together, we untangle the patterns, assumptions, and compromises that may have shaped your career until now, so you can move forward with far more clarity and self-trust.

03

Act

From there, we turn clarity into action. We shape your next move strategically and intentionally – from applications and interviews to salary conversations and career decisions. The difference is that you’re no longer trying to convince yourself to want something that doesn’t fit. You know what you’re aiming for, and why it matters to you. You apply with intention – interviews feel different when you know exactly what you’re walking into them for and what you bring to the table.

Lauren came into my life at a real crossroads, and from the start she created genuine space for me to slow down and reconnect with what I actually want…
She asked exactly the right questions to help me envision my career not just as it is, but as it could be: idealistic but attainable…
I came away with more clarity, more confidence, and a genuine sense of possibility.


What this looks like in practice

One of my clients came to our first session having been out of work for several years following a series of health setbacks. She had come to believe that the version of herself who had led a successful career was simply behind her.

Her health challenges were real and we didn’t paper over them. But underneath the practical constraints was a story she had been telling herself about what she was still capable of, what she was allowed to want, what someone in her situation could reasonably expect. That story had calcified and it felt like fact.

Together, we examined where it had come from, what purpose it was serving, and whether it was actually true. By taking small, tangible steps her confidence returned, her social life came back, her sense of herself began to shift.

Six sessions later, she had two job offers. Both reflected who she actually was now, and what she actually wanted. She described it as showing up for her life again.

I’ve been here.

A few years ago I was made redundant from a role in tech. I know the panic, the grief, the strange mix of relief and directionlessness. I also know the soul-searching – working out what you actually believe you deserve, where your thinking is holding you back, and what you’re willing to accept next.

I used it as a springboard. Not because I’m unusually resilient – but because I had the space, the tools, and the right questions to think it through properly. That’s what I now give other women.

Almost all my clients are women because I understand the particular pressures we carry – around confidence, self-worth, what we’re allowed to want. I believe these deserve to be named and dealt with directly, not worked around.

This isn’t traditional career coaching.

There’s plenty of tactical career support available. This isn’t that.

This is for the woman who suspects the real work isn’t tactical. Who wants to leave not just with a new role, but with a clear direction she’s actually chosen and the confidence to go after it without abandoning herself in the process.

The CV, the interview prep, the salary negotiation are the outputs of this work, not the work itself. When you know what you want and why you’re worth it, the documents write themselves.

Lauren is exceptional at what she does – she is thoughtful, a great listener, tactful and really competent… After just one session, I felt more confident and more grounded. It was a real turning point. I remember calling my friends afterwards and saying that, regardless of the outcome of the interview process, I had already gained so much

If redundancy has forced a pause, this is a space to work out what you want to do with it.

A discovery call is a free, no obligation conversation to understand more about you and your situation. It helps us work out whether we’re a good fit and if coaching is the type of support you need. If it’s not, I’ll tell you so.
