Career Coaching for Women in London

✴︎ You don’t need a better CV.

You need to trust yourself enough to want something different.

If you’re standing at a career crossroads — made redundant, considering a complete change, or simply knowing your current role no longer fits — the first thing everyone tells you is to update your LinkedIn, rewrite your CV, or start networking harder.

But if you’re honest, the problem isn’t your CV. It’s that you can’t quite picture a version of yourself who thrives in a different kind of work. Or you’re terrified that wanting more is unrealistic, ungrateful, or too late.

I help thoughtful, capable women in London navigate career transitions with clarity and confidence — not by rushing into tactics, but by changing the internal narrative that keeps them stuck.

This is For you if:

  • You’ve been made redundant and your confidence has disappeared along with your job title
  • You know you’ve outgrown your current role but can’t imagine what comes next
  • You’re considering a major career pivot or portfolio career but feel paralysed by uncertainty
  • You’re tired of making career decisions based on what looks sensible to other people
  • You have a long-held ambition but keep talking yourself out of it
  • You keep applying for jobs that look right on paper but feel wrong in your gut

why the usual Advice hasn’t worked:

There is no shortage of practical career advice. CV templates. Interview techniques. Networking strategies. LinkedIn optimisation. All of it can be useful — but it starts too late.

The biggest decisions you make about your career are shaped long before you update your CV. They’re shaped by what you believe you’re capable of, what you think you deserve, and what you allow yourself to imagine.

Many of the women I work with are already experienced, competent, and successful by most measures. What they’re missing is not potential. It’s the confidence and self-trust to make choices that reflect it.

When you’re trapped by an old story about what you’re allowed to want, no amount of tactical advice will move you forward. You need to change the story first. The practical steps become much easier after
that.

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.

Burnt out and ready for something different?

Sometimes a career crossroads doesn’t feel exciting – it feels like collapse. If you’re experiencing burnout, the idea of “pivoting” can feel impossible. We start by rebuilding your sense of yourself, so your next move comes from clarity rather than desperation.

What we work on:

Understanding the crossroads

We create space to understand where you actually are — not where you think you should be. Whether you’ve been made redundant, are burning out, or have simply outgrown your path, we slow down enough to hear what you want beneath the noise.

Challenging the narrative

We examine the beliefs, patterns, and assumptions that have shaped your career choices so far. The voice that says “be realistic,” “you’re lucky to have what you have,” or “it’s too late to change.” We look at where those came from and whether they still serve the person you’re becoming.

Building clarity and confidence

We get specific about what you want next — not what looks sensible, but what genuinely excites you. Whether that’s a new direction, a portfolio career, building something of your own, or finally pursuing an ambition you’ve been putting off.

Taking aligned action

Together, we turn that clarity into meaningful next steps. The difference is that you’re no longer moving from uncertainty or self-doubt. You’re making choices with intention and trust in yourself.

How this connects to the bigger picture:

Career decisions rarely exist in isolation. The same beliefs that keep you small professionally often show up elsewhere — in your relationship with money, your boundaries, your sense of what you’re allowed to want from life.

That’s why many of my clients combine career coaching with money mindset or life coaching through The Springboard. But we can also focus purely on your career as a standalone piece of work.

Why this matters:

Women in the UK retire with investment portfolios roughly 35% smaller than men’s. Over a lifetime, that gap can cost more than £200,000 in earnings and missed growth. Much of this isn’t about income – it’s about engagement. Women are less likely to invest, less likely to negotiate, and more likely to defer financial decisions to someone else.

I don’t teach women to be greedy. I teach them to stop opting out of their own financial lives. Because the cost of staying small isn’t just the money you never made. It’s the freedom you never claimed.

CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES

From “my career is behind me” to two job offers

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.
