Helping you choose your next step with confidence
Feeling stuck, uncertain, or ready for a new challenge?
Career coaching creates the space to reflect, explore possibilities, and make confident decisions about your future.
Clarity for complex career decisions
There are times in our careers when the next step isn't obvious.
You might be wondering whether to stay or leave.
Considering a promotion.
Thinking about a career change.
Recovering from redundancy.
Struggling to reconcile success with fulfilment.
Or simply questioning whether your current path is still right for you.
Whatever brings you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
These decisions can feel complicated because they are complicated.
You need the space, support and perspective to work out what's right for you.
My role is to help you make sense of where you are, explore what matters most, understand the options available to you, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

About Me
Hello, I'm Stephen Laurie.
I'm a qualified Career Coach with a Master's degree in Career Coaching and over 20 years' experience helping professionals, leaders and organisations navigate career and hiring decisions. I am registered with the Career Development Institute.
Drawing on both coaching psychology and extensive experience in executive search and talent advisory, I help you make confident career decisions and create a future that feels right for you.
Using evidence-based coaching tools, reflective exercises, and practical career strategies, I'll help you gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward with purpose.
Whether you're considering a career move, seeking greater fulfilment, or navigating a period of change, I provide a supportive space to reflect, challenge, explore possibilities, overcome barriers, and achieve meaningful career goals.
What you can expect
Understand what's driving your uncertainty, reconnect with what matters most, and define what success looks like for you.
Move through redundancy, restructuring, career change or leadership transitions with support and perspective.
Work through important career choices with greater confidence, structure and self-awareness.
Better understand your value, communicate your strengths, and position yourself for future opportunities.
Why work with me
Many career coaches help you understand yourself.
Many recruiters understand the market.
Few bring both perspectives together.
Working with me means benefiting from both reflective coaching and real-world career insight.
You'll be encouraged to think deeply about your values, ambitions and motivations, whilst also gaining a realistic understanding of how organisations hire, promote and develop talent.
This helps you avoid making decisions based solely on emotion, or on external expectations.
Instead, you can make choices that feel right for you and make sense for your future.
For Organisations
Alongside career coaching, I partner with organisations to develop, retain, and transition talent effectively. I support career development, leadership growth, internal mobility, outplacement, and talent strategy initiatives that help both people and organisations thrive.

Career coaching for employees and emerging leaders
Career transition and outplacement support
Internal mobility and career development programmes
Leadership and talent development conversations
Values-based career decision-making support
Talent and workforce planning insights
Recruitment and talent acquisition advisory
Market intelligence and salary benchmarking
