Career Change Coaching

If Work is Draining Your Energy or Confidence

If you’re here, work may be draining your energy, confidence or sense of self — even if, on paper, everything looks “fine”.

You might recognise yourself in one or more of these:

• You wake up already tired at the thought of work

• You feel anxious, flat or deeply unfulfilled

• You feel stuck by money, responsibility or expectations

• You sense something needs to change — but don’t know how to do it safely

• You feel torn between security and fulfilment

  If You've Tried to Figure This Out Before

  Maybe you've already spent hours researching, reflecting, and second-guessing yourself. You've probably:

  ✗ Scrolled job boards at midnight, feeling increasingly hopeles

  ✗ Talked to friends who mean well but don't really understand

  ✗ Thought about retraining, but can't afford to start from scratch

  ✗ Tried to figure it out alone, going round in circles

  None of it has worked — because you need more than information. You need a framework, personalised support, and a clear path forward.

You’re not failing. You’re responding to a situation that no longer fits who you are. The FULFIL Career Change Programme exists for this moment.

What Happens If Nothing Changes?

Another year passes. You're still in the same role, telling yourself "this year I'll do something about it."

The Sunday dread gets heavier. The gap between who you are and what you do widens.

Meanwhile, the career capital you've built starts to feel less relevant. The window to make a change feels like it's closing.

The cost of staying stuck isn't just frustration. It's the life you're not living.

I’ve Been Where You Are

(And I found a way through)

I worked for a large retail organisation — first in logistics and supply chain management, then in buying. On paper, I had a successful career. In reality, I wasn’t happy.

I enjoyed the people I worked with, but the work itself didn’t feel like me. Over time, I felt increasingly disconnected, stressed, and worn down. Eventually, I knew something had to change.

What followed were years of trying to understand what wasn’t working — and what I wanted instead. That’s what led me to train as a career counsellor and coach, and later as an occupational psychologist. I wanted to understand what genuinely helps people make career decisions they can trust. I learned the research, frameworks, and approaches that move people from feeling stuck to feeling clear.

FULFIL brings all of that together — a structured, non-judgemental, supportive way forward, so you don’t have to figure this out alone or spend years going round in circles.

A Calm, Structured Way Forward

FULFIL is a career transition designed to help you:

• understand yourself properly

• regain confidence based on evidence

• explore realistic options that genuinely fit

• make decisions you trust — and stick with

FULFIL is built on a simple but powerful idea:

When you understand yourself properly — your abilities, values, motivations and constraints — career clarity becomes far less overwhelming and far more achievable.

This programme gives you the structure, insight and expert support to move forward with confidence, rather than staying stuck or making rushed decisions.

What Changes when Clarity Replaces Uncertainty

After FULFIL, many clients describe:

• feeling calmer because they can see a way forward

• understanding why certain roles drained them

• having language for their strengths and needs

• knowing what they’re moving towards, not just away from

• feeling more like themselves again

FULFIL doesn’t promise instant happiness. It creates clarity, self-trust and momentum.

Imagine being happy and fulfilled at work this time next year, if you take the right steps.

What’s inside the programme

FULFIL follows a clear, structured journey you work through at your own pace. It includes guided exercises, tools and reflections, with private 1-2-1 coaching support with Diana.

FULFIL follows a clear, step-by-step journey designed to move you from uncertainty to confident direction.

Inside Fulfil you will find:

• Clarity on who you are and what you actually need from work

• Deep self-discovery exercises rooted in coaching psychology

• Evidence based assessment to reveal your natural strengths (in Confidence and Complete tiers)

• A shortlist of realistic, aligned career directions

• Confidence rooted in evidence, not wishful thinking

• A structured framework to make a safe, informed decision

• Private 1:1 coaching to help you move forward — not go in circles

• Practical toolkits for employment, self-employment, or study

There are three different tiers of support, depending on your needs - FULFIL Clarity, FULFIL Confidence and FULFIL Complete.

What makes Fulfil different

Included in FULFIL Clarity and FULFIL Complete, the Highlands Ability Battery (HAB) adds a depth of insight most career programmes miss.

For many clients, this is the moment where things finally make sense.

This objective psychometric assessment identifies how your brain is naturally wired to work — revealing:

• how you process information and solve problems

• the environments where you thrive or drain

• why some roles felt easy and others exhausting

• roles that are suited to you and your natural strengths

This is not a personality test, and it doesn’t measure interests or skills you’ve learned.
It reveals how you are naturally built.

This ensures your career decisions are grounded not just in hope or preference — but in evidence.

Choose Your Level of Support

There are three levels of support offered, depending on your needs. We will discuss what is best for you in our free initial discussion.

FULFIL is not for people looking for quick fixes, job matching or someone to tell them exactly what to do. It’s for professionals who want clarity before change, and are willing to engage thoughtfully in the process. Places are limited to allow sufficient coaching support.
