You've spent years building your career.
Now let's work out what's next.
Welcome to Career Therapy
Your career has changed. So have you.
Hello, I’m Louise, founder of Career Therapy and creator of the 50 Forecfield™.
I work with experienced women who have built successful careers but have reached the point where what got them here isn’t necessarily what they want next.
Perhaps you’re successful but bored.
Capable but under-recognised.
Good at what you do but increasingly unsure why you’re doing it.
Or perhaps you’re simply wondering whether there’s more to your career than being endlessly useful to everyone else.
Because after 20, 25 or 30 years of working, the question changes. It’s no longer simply “How far can I go?” It becomes “What do I want to do with everything I already know, have done and am capable of?”
That’s where Career Therapy comes in.
This isn’t about throwing everything up in the air and reinventing yourself. It’s about stepping back long enough to recognise what you’ve built, decide what matters now and make sure the way you talk about yourself reflects the value you actually bring.
Together, we look at:
What you’ve built
Your experience, strengths, achievements and the value you create, including the things you’ve become so used to doing that you no longer realise they’re impressive.
What you want now
What matters to you, what motivates you, what you’ve outgrown and what you want more and less of in the next stage of your career.
How you show up
Your confidence, professional presence and positioning - and your ability to talk about what you do without shrinking it, apologising for it or sounding as though you’ve eaten an executive vocabulary handbook for breakfast.
Where you want to go from here
A direction that feels right for who you are now, along with practical decisions and actions to help you move towards it.
You probably don’t need to become someone new.
You may just need to recognise the value of who you already are and get much better at using it.
So, what do you want to do with everything you already are?
Are you finding it hard to ask for help?
You are smart. You find solutions and make things happen so perhaps you think you should be able to solve this on your own or that it shouldn't be this hard...
Do you think or feel any of these:
-
I want to have executive presence and be more visible but I struggle to ‘sell’ myself. I don’t know how to explain what I'm good at and the value I add
-
I am ambitious, but is this it? My career feels stuck or stale and I don’t know what’s wrong or how to fix it. I'm not sure what I'm looking for now or want to do next but I know I want 'more'
-
I excel at generating results but, despite my expertise and experience, I sometimes feel like an imposter. I worry that I'm not as good as people think I am
-
I work hard and deliver strategic impact but don’t get the recognition I deserve and I find it hard to speak up. I don't want to look arrogant or pushy and I feel like I'm bragging if I talk about myself
As you are here, you know you need to change things but probably don’t know where or how to start.
But I do. I see you. I’ve been you. And I know how you can fix what's going on.
Like the 100s of women who have already reignited their confidence and recharged their careers through Career Therapy, coaching with me will help you build the confidence you need to get unstuck and move your career forward. You'll gain the clarity, courage and certainty you need to create practical solutions and achieve tangible results.
"Our conversation scratched an itch I’d been thinking about but didn’t know how to reach."
What can Career Therapy do for you?
Working together, I can help you:
-
Recognise all you have to offer and how to communicate it
-
Unlock your professional potential and build presence
-
Power up your journey to future success
Imagine having a safe, judgement-free space to explore and evaluate your ideas, fears and possibilities. And dedicated time to stop and really think.
Having open conversations, being asked the right - and sometimes challenging - questions will help you see the worth of what you've already achieved and how you can build on it to take you where you want to go next.
Thinking more strategically (and honestly) about your situation, you will gain fresh perspectives on your experience, value and future potential - and recognise what needs to change.
Equipped with new tools and a clear plan, you’ll be able to remove obstacles and create solutions to move you forward to be happier, more motivated and career confident.
"When I look back, it’s been transformative. When we started, I felt clueless. Now, I have such clarity in what I want to do and where I want to go - and in how to stop comparing myself to other people.
Now, I’m happy with who I am."
"Your approach is spot on, it's like you've been peering into my soul!
You make me feel seen."
What to expect
Coaching will be tailored to address your unique needs and situation and there are two ways we can work together:
Career coaching
Together we can:
-
get clear on who you are and what's important to you
-
identify what you want and what inspires you
-
uncover what’s helping and what's blocking you
-
redefine how you think and speak about yourself
Which means you will be confident to:
-
ask for what you want and deserve
-
grow your professional presence so you can shine
-
strengthen your resilience and take on new challenges
-
recognise what you have already achieved
-
understand what you are truly capable of in the future
You'll come away with direction, purpose and practical tools to reignite your career and seize opportunities.
I can also support you to build skills and experience with activities such as networking, public speaking, interview preparation and giving presentations. Just ask if there is an area of work where you know you can do better and would like to grow your confidence!
Career Rebrand
Together we can
-
identify your brand
-
shape your value proposition and match it to target roles
-
define your achievements and make them work for you

This can be followed by a new or revitalised CV and LinkedIn profile tailored to target roles and industry.
