What I offer
What do I do?
I offer practical, individualised support, so the details will look different for everyone. Here is what I do most often:
- Listen! And then listen some more. I want to understand who you are.
- Communicate clearly and directly.
- Help you figure out your career path.
- Create tailored CVs and cover letters.
- Cheer you on.
- Practice interview skills.
- Support you during interviews.
- Coordinate with employers to plan reasonable adjustments.
- Provide on-the-job coaching to help you settle in.
- Support you with workplace challenges.
What don’t I do?
My person-centred approach means that I don’t:
- Stereotype or make assumptions about you.
- Push you into something you don’t want.
- Judge you.
- Tell you to fake it till you make it.
- Ask you to stop swearing, fidgeting, pacing, or whatever else you do to feel comfortable.
- Give you BS or talk down to you.
- Break your confidentiality.
How long will it take?
It depends. Finding meaningful work takes exploration and reflection. This often includes detours, confidence building, and processing periods. I’ll be in the background, offering practical help and encouragement while you set the pace.
Everyone’s pace is different. Some clients know exactly what they want and just need help with a targeted CV and cover letter. They land the job and carry on independently. Others prefer ongoing support, and some have stayed connected for over a decade, checking in as needed for things like workplace challenges or career transitions.
Whether our work together lasts a few sessions or many years, the pace is set by your needs.
