Career coaching is about taking the client on a journey of self-discovery, facilitating and empowering the client to discover the answers they need for themsevles and helping them to develop as a person first which then develops their professional selves. Career coaching is a team sport, the client and coach work together to achieve the results.
As opposed to career guidance counselling, career coaching is very much results-focused, each session and journey is tailored to your individual needs and practical.

How many career coaching sessions will I need?

This isn’t easily answered, as everyone and their needs are so different. Usually 6 sessions with a Career Coach will get clients to a place where they are achieving tangible results. 3 sessions will give you a taste of the potential results. 9-10 career coaching sessions is usual for people who are making major career changes. It varies according to the individual and the pace at which each client can go varies considerably.

Many clients, will come for a further number of ‘check-in’ sessions as they continue to achieve their goals and maintain their new mindset and actions or develop new goals as they have achieve their existing ones. We coach on a case-by-case basis and trust that you know how many sessions will get you to where you want to be.

Isn’t Career Coaching / Life Coaching an expensive luxury?
