Andrea Harding
Career Coach with over 10 year’s experience

Hello and a very warm welcome to your Career Coach Bristol service.

Your situation at work (or life for that matter) might be why you have found my website. Here are some common topics that people brought to coaching last year, which may resonate with you.

– You want to change your approach to work but don’t know where to start
– You’ve tried speaking to friends and family but it’s not been that helpful
– You feel it’s time to take a serious look at your career and life as a whole

Whatever your circumstances, I offer you a 1 hour initial consultation as a starting point. This time  enables you to start to unpack challenges. We use this hour to do some coaching work, so you can feel the difference between a chat and a coaching session. It’s also a chemistry meeting to make sure you feel comfortable.

We will work together in partnership; I will be responsible for keeping you focused and thinking so you do the work to arrive at good decisions. Our time will centre on getting free from the past and present, and carving out your future.

It’s important to say that my professional coaching is not an advisory service; knor will I lead you in a direction that I think is best for you.  I offer a skilful ‘container’ of time, that should feel different from a usual conversation, and which is entirely focused on you and your future.

Here are my areas of expertise and experience (but in no particular order!).

My career coaching expertise

Redundancy and New Career Path

career or life coaching is helpful if you have a new role, with new challenges

You may be experiencing worrying times about your career. Redundancy may be looming, or maybe you want to seize this opportunity to make some changes to your working life. Coaching support in these kinds of situation will be very helpful in helping you sift ‘the wood from the trees’ and get a clear plan of action. Our initial session will start to formulate a plan and give you some clarity, and then you can take things from there.

Re-structures and when you are new in a post

Your organisation may need to adapt quickly to new challenges, resulting in  re-structures, or adopting new ways of working. As a result, you may find yourself in an unexpected situation; taking the mantel of a much more demanding role, or a role that just doesn’t fit very well for you. Having career coaching support can be invaluable to help you manage the bumps and capitalise on emerging opportunities. Our first session will be to take stock and work out what needs to happen to gain job fulfilment again.

My life coaching expertise

When you are experiencing difficult personal circumstances

for the challenges of new life phasesYou may be experiencing upsetting and challenging personal circumstances and if you are struggling with something personal, some life coaching may well be the right support for you (rather than counselling). Our first session together will be your chance to ‘download’ what has been circling in your mind. I will be your objective ‘reflective mirror’ to help you gain a different perspective.

Working with me- Zoom and face to face

These days I work predominantly on Zoom so it doesn’t matter where you are located. If you don’t have the technology to use Zoom, we can always use the telephone.

I offer an initial session for a nominal £30, so if you’d like to get the ball rolling, drop me a quick email and I will respond within the day.

Best Regards
Andrea
