COACHING CLIENTS
"How we spend our days, is how we spend our life. If the average person spends 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime, it is safe to say that your job can make a huge impact on the quality of your life". Annie Dillard
So let's make informed, solid choices about what we want to do and with whom.
Who comes for coaching?
Coaching clients are based all over the UK and cover a wide age range, however, more people do seem to come for help with their job search or with career management between the ages of 30-50. The majority of clients using our career coaching services tend to be neurodivergent e.g. Autistic, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia or a disability, who are struggling to enter the jobs market or to stay in work due to outdated and biased recruitment and management practices. Many have concerns about working for employers who won't understand their differences and unique skills profile and therefore might not support them well. Every client we work with is unique and has different career and work goals, as well as challenges and learning styles. Therefore, any coaching package will be tailored to your specific requirements and be designed so that you feel supported and valued every step of the way.
How does the process work?
The process all starts with a completely free 20 minute consultation (basically a chat) which enables us to find out about you, what you wish to achieve and what you believe is stopping you from achieving your work goals. You will then be recommend a package and a customised selection of the various services will be put together, which focus on the areas where it seems you need the most help and support. The time spent on each subject area will be tailored to your specific needs and if you find you need more coaching time we can alter your 'package' to suit.
Coaching can be delivered in a way that suits you best
All coaching is carried out on a 1-to-1 basis, either by telephone or through digital communication tools (such as Skype, Zoom, or WhatsApp), whichever suits you best. In some cases, if it would be more useful and is practically possible, in-person coaching can be offered.
The number of coaching sessions you will need to reach your goals varies significantly from client to client. It will depend on your starting point and current level of understanding about yourself and the jobs market, your level of capability, and your confidence and motivation levels to see things through and to make changes.
The more time and effort you are willing to put into the process between coaching sessions, for example, doing extra research, trying out new ideas and reflecting on your own learning and progress, the quicker you will achieve your goals. It is completely up to you.
Additional extras can be purchased to help accelerate your progression. Past clients have asked for check in calls & emails, skills assessments, written coaching reports, advocacy, local jobs research/search and practical outreach services to find work e.g. work experience opportunities, apprenticeships, traineeships and attending interviews.

WHAT MY CLIENT'S SAY
24, FEMALE, LONDON
Dyslexia, Social Anxiety
You've done more for me in 5 weeks of coaching than 6 years with the job centre and the other recruitment & charity people have done for me.
It makes me laugh when I see all the skills I have because I didn't see them like that. I didn't realise employers were interested in those!
28, MALE, LONDON
Dyslexia, Aspergers
I felt you got me and you helped me understand how things work in the office. You got me to see what was happening much more clearly and it was helpful to talk through all the issues I was having.
The values exercise was the thing that made me realise whilst London was great for my career it was not where I was happy.
It is so nice to finally work for an employer who gets me and I feel they are really doing their best for me. The move away from London was the best thing I ever did. I can now manage my anxiety and feel happy with my life . I actually have a social life now.
30's, MALE, ESSEX
Brain Injury, Dyslexia, Social Anxiety
I honestly thought no employer would want me as I don't have any qualifications or work experience.
Even charities who are meant to get people like me into work gave up on me when they could not place me. I felt totally useless & unemployable.
You pushed me out of my comfort zone and things are working out ok. I am really enjoying my work experience in Retail (though customers still make me nervous) and I am thinking I might go to college to get some basic qualifications .
Am I ready for paid work? Not sure just yet but things are moving in the right direction.
20's, FEMALE, HARROW
Dyslexia, Anxiety
You've really helped me to understand what I value in life and work and how this can translate into the jobs and companies I want to work for.
Also I can now see that I have the power to choose the right kind of companies for me, companies who will support me rather than me just thinking I have to take whatever job I am given.
You have also helped me see my skills from the point of view of the employer and I know how to sell these properly now.
59, FEMALE, LONDON
Dyslexia, Depression, Anxiety
Thank you so much this experience has been life changing. I mean it. As a career changer I felt lost, under-confident and unmotivated.
You have helped me to see me as an Artist. I am an Artist!
My CV now reflects the new me and knowing how to write a cover letter & what a potential employer wants to read about was incredible.
With your help I have found myself work experience where I am doing what I love and I am learning so much.
Thank you for all your time and effort. I know what I need to do going forward and feel so much more confident about it.
20, MALE, BOURNEMOUTH
Anxiety
Nobody got me to move forwards with anything apart from you. The voluntary job might seem nothing to most but to me it was a massive step.
I liked working with you. You listened & I knew you really cared.
