Nice to meet you, I’m Juliette
I am an experienced and accredited Career Coach in Brighton who helps women find the perfect career fit for them.
I do this by using a proven 1:1 online coaching programme called Firework to show my clients how to identify a new career path and create an action plan.
I also use positive psychology principles and counselling skills to help them overcome their fears and create a more positive mindset.
My story
Back in 2014, I was working in advertising in London. I was caught up in the rat race and feeling increasingly unhappy with my long commute and stressful lifestyle.
Then my partner and I decided that we wanted to start a family.
I had a life-plan mapped out in my mind: we’d have a baby, I’d use my ‘spare time’ on maternity leave to re-evaluate what I really wanted to do career-wise then I’d start new role/career/business.
With my new career launched, we’d move to the coast and live happily ever after.
Except that wasn’t how it panned out.
We did move to the coast (Brighton) - but it was much earlier than expected, and resulted in a four-hour round trip commute for me.
And it eventually took us over 10 years to have our two daughters via IVF, with some painful losses along the way.
However, during this time, I hired an amazing career coach who helped me to re-build my confidence, get clear on what I really wanted, and gave me the tools to achieve my goals.
I eventually went part time, re-trained as a coach and started my business on the side. And soon, I was focusing full-time on the business.
What I learned, from this career transition and series of life changes is this:
There is never a ‘right time’ to make the changes you want to see in your life. You just have to start where you are.
Finding work you love will carry you through even the darkest times of your life.
Be determined and adaptable. The journey may be long and winding, but it is completely worth it.
Don’t underestimate what you’re capable of.
Now I get to work with amazing, purpose driven women every day, helping them create a life and career that gives them a sense of purpose, happiness and balance.
My training and qualifications
I've always had a passion for psychology, personal and professional development which led me in the direction of re-training as a Career Coach following 15 years in a media career covering advertising, journalism and TV production. I am now a licensed Firework Career Coach and accredited by the Association for Coaching.
I now specialise in working with women who are struggling to find clarity and confidence in their careers, because I kept coming across so many of them in my work who were feeling overwhelmed, were held back by self doubt and struggling to realise their incredible, untapped potential.
Previous clients have said that as a coach I'm able to be supportive and insightful, yet am not afraid to gently challenge when needed and get them thinking in new and more empowering ways.
I am also a certified Positive Psychology Practitioner (known as 'the science of happiness') and have a CPCAB Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills. The tools and practices I have learned in these areas have made a huge difference to my own happiness, wellbeing and quality of life, and now I love to blend these into my career coaching sessions so that my clients can feel the benefits too.
