Turn the career you’ve outgrown into work that fits who you’ve become
For people rethinking what work should be, asking what comes next and how to build towards it.

You were given years of scaffolding to build a career
School, university, internships, graduate schemes, the first job, the promotion, career development programs. But almost nothing prepares you for the moment you outgrow it.
Most of us will change direction several times in a working life, and work is changing faster than the structures around it. A generation who did what was asked of them is finding that employment no longer holds up its end of the bargain.
Your career was never only a job. It was how you made yourself legible to others, how you answered what you’re good at and where your days went.
Work together
I’m a coach certified through the ICF and trained in Internal Family Systems. I spent a decade in tech before changing direction myself, so I know this territory from the inside. The work I do exists for both crossings: the practical steps of changing career direction and the psychological one underneath.
Together, we follow a 3 part journey from finding the golden thread from your past experiences and strengths, we work on the underlying identity shift through IFS and move into career experimentation.
Find your people
I host online and in-person workshops and social gatherings where career transitioners can find community among others on the same journey.
