I have over thirty years’ experience as a post-graduate qualified careers guidance professional, working with clients ranging from redundant executives, mid-career changers and career returners to young people looking for their first job, as well as those exploring their Higher Education options.

My careers guidance experience is enhanced by a well developed understanding of commercial life based on Human Resources management experience in market leading organisations.

I see my role as that of an ‘enabler’, who encourages and supports each and every client so that they are able to achieve their best possible career related outcome.
