Is career coaching right for you?
Does this sound like you?
- You aren’t enjoying your work, it’s been a while. It feels draining, uninspiring, or you’re working too much for little satisfaction.
- You spend hours wondering what else you can do, or should do. What if it doesn’t work? Meanwhile you’re still stuck in the same place.
- You have that desire for something more fulfilling for you, more meaningful perhaps, and more aligned with your values. But when it comes to what it is exactly, you feel confused or lost.
- You wish there was a clear process you can follow to make the right decision and ensure it works out.
- Life is so busy and stressful it’s hard to even find time to think about your career. You’re looking after everybody first, and exhausted at the end of the day.
- Whatever ideas you have, you feel scared because you’ve never done it before and there is a lot of uncertainty.
The bottom line:
Career coaching is right for you if you have been stuck for some time with your own thinking without making progress. If you wish to make a change, know that it is necessary but somehow you can’t seem to find the answers or the right way to do it.
We are often the ones in our own way (trust me, I’ve been there too) and that is when we need an external perspective to help guide us.
Career coaching isn’t right for you if you haven’t got time and energy to invest right now about this part of your life. Because what you put in is what you will get out, with my fully dedicated support.
How does career coaching work?
1:1 Coaching will give you:
- Space to focus 100% on your career path and decisions
- An established process to help you work out your next career direction confidently, in half the time you would take on your own
- Tools to overcome your self-doubt, overwhelm or fears in relation to your next step
- Motivation and accountability towards specific actions
- Someone who understands you 100% and has your back every step of the way, always on your side.
The logistics:
The 1:1 sessions take place over 60 minutes on Zoom. At the beginning I’ll ask you to complete a questionnaire and some tests to help inform our coaching sessions and your profile.
You choose when to schedule your sessions, and can reschedule them if need be based on your load (I know life happens!). But for it to deliver the best results, you need some momentum with the sessions – I usually recommend every 2-3 weeks, no more than one month in between. I will give you some tasks to complete in between sessions to fast track your journey.

FAQ's about Career Coaching Programs
How do the sessions take place?
The sessions in the packages above take place on Zoom. I am available to meet face to face for Melbourne clients for an additional fee to be quoted separately. We can discuss this during our initial conversation.
How does the process work?
After your have picked the program that best suits you, click on ‘book now’ which will open a new page with a registration process online. It will include a description of the package inclusions, a contract, billing details and access to my calendar. You will create a login and password, and connect back to the platform to schedule all your future sessions and complete questionnaires. At the end of our program together, we will discuss if you would like to continue based on your needs and take it from there.
Is there a refund policy?
My refund policy is included in your coaching contract. You need to notify me in writing of your request for refund for it to be processed. The refund will be equivalent to the remaining balance of your package at the rate specified in your contract.
Can I switch programs?
I offer two different programs: Impact and Maximiser. To make things easy for you and I, each package is purchased as a whole and cannot be broken down or upgraded for another during the validity period. You are able to purchase another program as soon as you have used the pre-paid coaching sessions included in your package.
What happens if my circumstances change?
Life happens. If you sign up for a package and are unable for a tangible reason outside of your control to use your coaching sessions, I will provide a refund as per refund policy outlined in the coaching contract. If you need to pause the coaching for a tangible reason, I will provide you with flexibility with your sessions at my discretion.
What if I don’t know which package to choose?
Our initial conversation will help you get clear on the best option and best fit for you. We can discuss your preferences and anything holding you back – that is what it’s for: helping you make a confident decision that you 100% align with and that you commit to personally.

UX Designer
“Cecile is an insightful, warm, supportive professional career coach, who I would recommend to anyone looking to make a job change or create better relationships in their working life. Cecile helped me think through what sort of work would suit my strengths and passions, and how to let go of unrealistic expectations of myself and others. She helped heal my confidence and deal with some negative feedback from work. She also helped me form a practical plan to start towards my next life goal.”
Erika Scott
Recruiter
“Cecile has brought out the excitement in thinking about my career. She helped me uncover my strengths. Being more aware of them has given me the confidence to think less and pursue more meaningful work that better aligns with my strengths and passions. Cecile really listened and asked the hard questions that helped me to start thinking and acting with more clarity about myself and career. She helped me discover new and more positive ways of thinking and practices that help me achieve better balance, wellness, and more happiness in a number of areas of my life.”
Vivian Jacob
Service Design Lead
“Cecile is a truly caring individual and an amazing professional. During the sessions, Cecile helped me to look inside and challenge myself. She made it easier to identify what I wanted to achieve and focus on myself to have control over the changes I wanted to make. She helped with my confidence and removing emotional ‘roadblocks’ that were getting in the way of my career development. I just finished my Maximiser bundle and already booked a new one — I’m excited to discover where it will take me.”
Katherine Sapungan
IT Project Lead
“I met Cecile when I was made redundant in my role. I was very confused and always questioned my abilities. During our coaching Cecile made me realise the importance of my innate skills and talents, and how I can utilise them to my advantage. She gave me good insights about how to value ourselves and others, and most importantly how to stop doubting my own capabilities. Her coaching techniques are impeccable and she always brings out the best in you. I highly recommend Cecile, especially to those women who doubt their abilities.”
Maria Perez
Management Consultant
“Cecile has been monumental in helping me discover my true passion and figure out how I can incorporate it into my professional goals. After being a management consultant for a decade, I felt that something was missing and through her skilful coaching I discovered that CSR was an area I wanted to explore further, and I am an now responsible for this in my company. Cecile has in-depth knowledge not only on professional matters, having extensive personal experience herself of life in the fast-lane, but also a keen understanding of the mind and why we act as we do.”
