What is Career Coaching?

People come for career coaching when they are either at a crossroads in their working life or they need specific skills to get work. Career coaching can help with:

Work/life balance
Becoming self employed
Improving interview techniques
Managing redundancy
Changing career
CV development
Job search
Completing application forms

Brighton Career Coaching appointments and fees

If we both choose to work together after our initial conversation, I'll send you a welcome pack. This includes a coaching agreement and a questionnaire, both of which I ask you to complete and return to me before our first session. Evening and Saturday appointments are usually available as well as daytime appointments for both face-to-face coaching and tele-coaching.

Client Comments on Career Coaching

Thank you very much for all your help and advice. I can't say how fantastic your knowledge was and how you put me back on the right track after veering off in completely the wrong direction! Had I not had the consultation with you I would have not sat down and thought about what I was really trying to achieve with my future. I would have been trying all these little courses only to find that it would not be what I really wanted to do and that some of them would not have been accredited at all and would have been rendered useless! I am now more focused and am aware of what avenue that I really want to pursue. With your help I am now able to head off in the right direction so that when I leave my current employment in 6 years time - I will have something to offer to my prospective clients - having been able to market myself in the correct manner beforehand. Again, Laurel, thank you for your invaluable help and advice - I am so glad that I found you on the internet! I shall be able to thank you again in 6 years time when I am ready to begin my new found route of career. P.M. Army personnel.
After being made redundant, I found Laurel's career coaching both helpful and inspiring. R.P.
