Career coaching

Support for individuals who want to understand what comes next, communicate their value clearly and move forward with confidence

People arrive here for different reasons.

Some are looking for a new role and want help positioning themselves clearly in a competitive market. Some are aiming for promotion or progression and want to build confidence, clarity and visibility. Others are questioning whether their current role still fits, and want to explore what else might be possible.

In many cases, it’s not about a complete career change. It’s about getting clearer, performing better, or moving forward in a more intentional way.

This work is designed to meet you wherever you are in that process — whether you need clarity, strategy, or support turning things into action.

Below are three ways to work with me, depending on the level of support you need and where you’re starting from.

Career development support for wherever you’re starting from

  • For when something needs to change, but you don’t yet know what the next step looks like.

  • For when you’re exploring your options and want to make informed decisions about what comes next.

  • For when you have a strong sense of what you want, and need support turning it into action.


Career coaching that supports both mindset and practical action

“I unquestionably feel better equipped with the tools — practical and psychological — to move forward.”

“At the time I was trying to navigate a career change into new sectors, but despite a lot of time and effort I was struggling to make much progress and aware I needed some help!

Hannah and I worked together through our sessions to unpack a jumble of past and future career goals and aspirations, undermining and counterproductive thinking and beliefs. Using real life experiences in my professional career development and achievements we systematically ‘cleaned house’ and created a plan of action, the tools needed to move forward – and conquered (or at the very least challenged!) a few of the impostor demons lurking behind those less helpful past approaches. Hannah emphasised the importance of staying accountable to myself, as well as compassionately challenged me to reflect and reconsider on past habits and reactions and reorient.

We revised and refreshed all the collateral needed for career development – CV, cover letter, achievements and goals, interview techniques and getting out into new networks. It’s an ongoing work-in-progress, but I unquestionably feel better equipped with the tools (practical and psychological) to move forward.”

One career development offer, three levels of support

Every pathway begins with the same foundation: getting clear on what matters, understanding your value and turning that clarity into practical next steps. From there, the level of support depends on where you are in the process — whether you’re at the beginning of a bigger career transition, exploring your options or ready to take action.

Let’s work it out together.

TIER ONE

Full Circle

Career coaching and strategy for when you know something needs to change

You know something needs to change.

You’re ready to do something about your career now, but you don’t yet know what the next step looks like.

Maybe the role you’re in no longer fits.

Maybe you’ve outgrown the path you started on.

Maybe you’ve been pushing forward for years and suddenly realised you’re not sure where you’re heading anymore.

What you do know is that you don’t want to stay stuck.

In this tier, we start from the beginning. We unpack what’s no longer working, reconnect you with your strengths, values and motivations, and explore what a more meaningful or sustainable direction could look like. From there, we begin building a clear, practical path forward so you can start moving with intention.

What’s included:


A valuable professional investment

“Partnering with Hannah was one of the best decisions I made professionally. I had not made this kind of investment in my professional development; however, I recognised that I was frustrated, felt stuck and that I needed to do something different and out of my comfort zone. Working with Hannah has helped me apply a different lens to career, interviews, showing up for work and certainly Hannah's expertise has enhanced my confidence.”

Find Your Way

Career clarity coaching for when you’re exploring what comes next

You’ve started to wonder what your options are.

You’re questioning what’s next, and you have a feeling change is coming, but you’re not yet ready to launch an active job hunt or commit to a full career pivot.

You want more — more impact, more balance, more meaning in your work — but you’re not sure how to get it.

In this tier, we focus on clarity and direction. We explore your strengths, values and motivations, look at possible paths forward, and map out your options so you can make informed decisions about what comes next.

What’s included:


“When I reached out to Hannah initially, I'll admit I was in a place of deep disillusionment and despair with my career. For too long I'd been in a role which was misaligned to my values, was crushing my spirit and dismantling my self-esteem. I'd been applying, unsuccessfully, for other roles, and as I said to Hannah: "Whatever I'm doing isn't working. Something has to change and I need help.”

Our initial conversation gave me hope, and in working with Hannah through her structured approach, I realised that it wasn't me, it was my environment that needed fixing. I found myself gaining clarity over who I am and the value I bring to a workplace. And learned to articulate this.

Hannah's experience crafted me a resume to match. Low and behold, before we'd even finished our sequence of sessions, I found myself offered an amazing opportunity, and I feel like I've got my mojo back! If that's what you're looking for, Hannah can help guide you in the most kind, empathetic yet constructive manner.”

TIER THREE

Make Your Move

Practical tools and professional branding to support your job search strategy

You already know, or have a strong sense of, what you want next.

Now it’s about turning that into action and moving forward with confidence.

The market is competitive, and standing out takes more than just a good CV. It requires clear positioning, strong messaging, and a strategic approach to how you present yourself.

This tier is for people who are ready to actively pursue their next move and want support navigating the job search process effectively.

What’s included:


Professional branding and career support for your next move

“My winding career path, two young kids and a rethink of my priorities meant I was feeling stuck and unsure how to proceed in my career. Working with Hannah helped me articulate my experience with clarity and lay out a path for what to do next. Her ability to craft a really professional CV, cover letter template and interview assistance based on my unique situation was amazing. She is also easy to talk to and was very responsive throughout our time together. I highly recommend working with Hannah.”

—Kate | Project Manager | Sydney

A thoughtful gift for career clarity

“Gifted a 90-minute session with Hannah from a thoughtful friend, Hannah helped me on a number of career questions I had been exploring for a number of months. She used our session to help define my own priorities, reviewed my CV and cover letter approach, and discussed careers more holistically than I've been able to do with others. It was a huge help.”
