  • Neon sign on a brick wall that says, "This is the sign you've been looking for."

    Career Direction Session

    You don't need a whole career programme. You just need help getting clear on one decision.

    Perhaps you're weighing up two opportunities. Wondering whether to stay, leave or retrain. Considering a promotion or a change of direction. Or you have several ideas and need an independent perspective to help you make sense of them.

    This focused 90 minute session gives you the space to step away from the noise, look at what's really driving your decision and work through your options with an experienced career coach.

    We can explore:

    What matters most to you now

    Your strengths, values and career priorities

    The options you're currently considering

    What's holding you back or making the decision difficult

    The risks, opportunities and practical realities of each option

    What your most useful next step could be

    You'll leave with greater clarity, personalised recommendations and a practical action plan rather than simply more things to think about.

    Best for: A specific career question or decision where you want clarity and an experienced, independent perspective.

  • CV Writing Nelson

    CV + Cover Letter

    Don't send a generic CV and hope it works. Position yourself for the job you actually want.

    A strong application isn't simply a record of where you've worked. It needs to quickly show an employer why your experience, achievements and strengths make you relevant to their role.

    I'll work from a specific job description and create an application tailored to that opportunity.

    Your package includes:

    Review of the job advertisement and position requirements

    A professionally written and targeted CV

    Clear positioning of your relevant skills and experience

    Stronger achievement-focused wording

    One tailored cover letter

    Practical guidance you can carry into future applications

    The aim is to make it easy for the person reading your application to understand the value you could bring.

    Best for: Someone who has found a role they genuinely want and wants to submit a polished, credible and targeted application.

    Investment: $395 | One CV + one cover letter for one specific role

    Interview Coaching

    Being qualified for the job isn't enough. You also need to communicate your value when it matters.

    Interview coaching with me isn't a list of generic interview tips.

    I'll research the role, consider the type of questions you're likely to face and then interview you using realistic, job-specific questions.

    The two-session format is deliberate.

    Session One

    We practise. I challenge you. You receive direct feedback on your examples, structure, clarity and delivery.

    You then take that feedback away and practise between sessions.

    Session Two

    You come back and we do it again — refining your answers, strengthening your examples and helping you communicate with much greater confidence and authenticity.

    We can work on:

    Job-specific and competency-based questions

    Strong STAR examples

    Explaining your achievements clearly

    Difficult or unexpected interview questions

    Your opening and closing responses

    Questions to ask the employer

    Delivery, confidence and presence

    Best for: Someone who has an interview coming up and wants to walk into the room knowing they have properly prepared.

    Targeted Job Approach

    The right opportunity may never make it onto Seek, get ahead of your competition

    Some of the best job opportunities come from approaching the right organisation at the right time — but there is a big difference between a thoughtful direct approach and sending the same generic email to twenty companies.

    I'll help you identify organisations that make sense for your background, strengths and goals, and then help you approach them professionally.

    Depending on what you need, this can include:

    Identifying suitable employers locally or nationally

    Researching organisations that align with your experience

    Working out who you should approach

    Clarifying how to position your skills and experience

    Creating professional, tailored direct-approach emails

    Adapting your message for different organisations

    Planning appropriate follow-up

    Helping you create opportunities rather than simply waiting for vacancies

    Best for: Someone who broadly knows what type of work they want but isn't seeing enough suitable advertised jobs — or wants to become more proactive in their job search.

  • Cup with its time for a new job blue and white

    Career Transition & Job Search

    You know roughly where you want to go. Now you need a strategy to get there.

    This programme is for people who aren't necessarily searching for an entirely new career identity — but who do need more support than one standalone session.

    You may be returning to work, changing industries, relocating, facing redundancy, looking for a better role or simply finding that your current job search isn't getting traction.

    Across three 75-minute sessions, we'll create a personalised strategy around your circumstances rather than following a generic job-search formula.

    Your programme may include:

    Clarifying your target roles and direction

    Identifying suitable employers and opportunities

    Positioning your transferable experience

    CV and application strategy

    LinkedIn and networking strategy

    Direct approaches to employers

    Career conversations and relationship building

    Interview preparation

    Working through setbacks or confidence issues

    A practical action plan to keep your search moving

    You'll also have time between sessions to take action, test what we've discussed and bring what you learn back into the next conversation.

    Best for: Someone who broadly knows where they want to go but needs structure, strategy, accountability and personalised support to get there.

    Investment: $895 | 3 × 75-minute sessions

  • Career Clarity & Direction

    You know something needs to change. You just don't yet know what the answer is.

    This is my most comprehensive adult career coaching programme.

    It isn't about taking one career test and being told what job you should do.

    Instead, we build the picture gradually — understanding who you are, what you're good at, what matters to you, what you've learned through your career so far and what kind of work could fit the person you are now.

    Across six 75-minute sessions we'll explore:

    Your strengths and transferable experience

    What energises you — and what drains you

    Your values and priorities

    The environments in which you do your best work

    Career themes and possibilities

    Roles and industries worth investigating

    Research and have real world career conversations

    Assumptions, fears and barriers affecting your decisions

    The practical realities of different options

    How to narrow your choices and make a confident decision

    Importantly, we don't stop at insight.

    You'll move from exploration → research → decision → action, finishing with a personalised 90-day plan for your next steps.

    Best for: Someone who feels stuck, unfulfilled, overwhelmed by options or genuinely unsure what they want to do next.

    Investment: $1,495 | 6 × 75-minute sessions

“I seized a wonderful opportunity to connect with Louise and explore together what my next steps would best look like. I got that, and much more! Through her process, I was able to flesh out what makes my heart sing, what strengths I have to draw this out whilst being affirmed in what others see in me. Not only did I discover key pathways to pursue, but what environments, cultures and contexts which enable me to thrive.

Louise supports you as you ultimately become more self-aware, affirmed, empowered and confident to pursue the best version of yourself. For that I am truly grateful, and somewhat carefree, as I close the door and begin the pursuit of my heart mahi. Thank you for journeying that road with me Louise.” - Emma
