Hi, I'm Heather Thompson, the Career Success Coach
If you feel unhappy, unfulfilled or stuck in your career, and find yourself wondering whether to stay where you are, change jobs or do something completely different, you've come to the right place.
As a certified career coach, I help experienced professionals navigate mid-career changes with greater clarity and confidence.
90+ people coached one-to-one | 2,500+ learners supported through career and employability training
What we work at matters. Many of us will spend around 80,000 hours working over the course of our careers. That means the work we do has a significant impact on our happiness, satisfaction, well-being, sense of purpose and overall quality of life.
By investing in your career, you proactively take charge of your future. I will help you discover how you can do work you love, be well paid for it, all the while enjoying a happy and fulfilling life.
Welcome!
How can career coaching help you?
Career coaching gives you the space to step back from the noise, think through your options and have someone in your corner as you decide what comes next. It can help you:
-
Get clear on what you want next, including the work, values, priorities and lifestyle you want from your career.
-
Understand your strengths, skills and experience so you can identify career options that could genuinely suit you.
-
Make more confident career decisions, without allowing self-doubt, fear or overthinking to keep you stuck.
-
Turn your ideas into a practical, sustainable action plan that considers money, family, wellbeing and other real-life responsibilities.
-
Stay focused and accountable as you take the next steps in your career transition.

Workplace Coaching
Coaching for the transitions that happen inside employment
Transitions at work bring new expectations, relationships and ways of working. My one-to-one coaching supports employees as they step into their first management role, take on a new role or promotion, adapt to restructuring, or reshape their responsibilities as a company grows. It gives employees a confidential space to build confidence and adapt successfully to what their role now requires.
"Heather got me from feeling terribly stuck and confused to handing in my notice in the space of five months. I’m moving on feeling certain it’s the right step and that I’m moving towards something I’m truly excited about, not just running from a situation I don’t want to be in anymore."
