Tailored Career Coaching for Every Step of Your Transition

Career transition is one of the most significant and often uncertain periods in a person’s professional life, whether it is prompted by organisational change, redundancy, career progression, or the decision to pursue a new direction. Having the right support at the right time can make all the difference, helping individuals move forward with confidence while ensuring organisations provide meaningful support to their employees.

With over 25 years’ experience spanning industry, education, and professional coaching, I have supported individuals and organisations through every stage of career transition, from graduates and early career professionals to senior leaders and executives.

My practical, personalised approach is tailored to every client because every career journey is unique. Together, we will identify your strengths, clarify your career direction, and build a clear strategy that reflects your goals, aspirations, and next career step. Whether that is refining a CV, preparing for interview, strengthening a personal brand, developing presentation skills, or exploring new career opportunities, my focus is always on helping clients achieve the best possible outcome.

For organisations, I provide professional outplacement services that balance the needs of both the organisation and the individual. Every programme is designed to equip employees with the confidence, tools, and practical guidance to successfully transition into new opportunities while reinforcing your organisation’s commitment to supporting people through change.

I have helped clients secure promotions, successfully transition into new roles, rebuild confidence, change careers, and achieve meaningful professional success. My goal is for every client to leave with greater clarity, confidence, and a clear plan for moving forward.

Supporting our employees through redundancy was a responsibility we took very seriously. We engaged Maria to provide tailored outplacement support, including psychometric assessments, CV development and interview coaching.

Her personalised approach equipped employees with the skills, confidence and practical guidance to successfully transition into new opportunities. The support made a significant impact, with many employees securing new roles quickly.

Maria’s service was professional, compassionate and highly effective, with extremely positive feedback received from employees throughout the process. We would highly recommend Maria to any organisation looking to provide meaningful support to employees during times of change.
