Helena Gaughran

I offer friendly, practical Career, Employability and Personal Development Coaching for students aged 18+ who would like support preparing for their next steps.

My sessions are relaxed, supportive and tailored to you. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. We start by looking at where you are now, what you would like to achieve and anything that may be getting in the way. Together, we then break things down into realistic, manageable steps.

Sessions can include career direction and planning, identifying your strengths and transferable skills, CVs and applications, interview preparation, job-search strategies, confidence and communication, goal setting, motivation and preparing for the transition from university or further education into the workplace.

I have over 25 years' experience within careers, employability, Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG), mentoring and management, alongside professional qualifications in Life Coaching and IAG.

My approach is encouraging but practical. I won't tell you what career you should choose or make decisions for you. Instead, I'll help you explore your options, recognise what you have to offer and develop the confidence and practical tools to make your own decisions and move forward.

Whether you already know where you want to go or you're thinking, "I have absolutely no idea what comes next," that's okay. We can start exactly where you are and work through it one step at a time.
