Helping you find clarity, confidence and direction in your career
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 moments 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.
These decisions can feel complicated because they are complicated.
You don't need someone to tell you what to do. 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 in executive search and talent advisory, helping professionals, leaders and organisations navigate career and hiring decisions.
My coaching provides a (supportive) space to step back, reflect and make sense of your options.
I combine evidence based coaching (psychology) with real-world insight (into how organisations hire, assess and develop talent - can remove as on the next page), to help you better understand yourself, navigate the realities of the market, and move forward with confidence.
Using a range of coaching tools and techniques, reflective exercises, and practical career strategies to help you make informed career decisions and take purposeful action.
and create a future that feels right for you.
Using a range of evidence-based coaching techniques and career development tools…
more you.
Whether you're considering a career move, seeking greater fulfilment, or navigating a period of change (is this repeated, see how much is repeated through the site), I provide the supportive space to explore possibilities, overcome barriers, and achieve meaningful career goals.
, and make decisions that feel both confident and authentic.
Why clients find this different
Many coaches help people understand themselves.
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 external expectations.
Instead, you can make choices that feel right for you and make sense for your future.
