  • Coaching is like the transformation of a butterfly. It starts as a humble caterpillar and emerges as a magnificent butterfly. Like every person I’ve coached, you will experience a transformation.

    Are you feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or ready for a new direction in your career? My career coaching services are designed to help adults at all stages of life gain clarity, confidence, and momentum in their next steps. Whether you’re looking to change jobs, explore a new career path, return to the workforce, or simply find more purpose in your work, I provide personalised coaching tailored to your unique strengths, values, and goals.

    Together, we’ll uncover what truly motivates you, identify your transferable skills, and create a practical plan for moving forward. Through supportive guidance and proven career tools, I’ll help you build confidence, refine your CV, prepare for interviews, and take the right steps towards meaningful and sustainable career success.

    My approach is professional yet compassionate, giving you the space to explore your options, while keeping you accountable and focused on progress. Career coaching is not just about finding a job, it’s about creating a fulfilling career and future that feels right for you.

  • You can work with me in person at my home in Nelson, or online through your preferred platform, I support clients across New Zealand and around the world.

    To begin, I offer a free 10-minute introductory call. This is a chance to discuss your career goals, explore what you’d like to achieve through coaching and see if we’re the right fit. There’s no pressure or obligation, just a friendly conversation to get started.

    Every career coaching session is 100% tailored to you. Together, we’ll explore your strengths, values and ambitions, and I’ll guide you through practical strategies, reflective exercises and future-focused planning. My aim is that you leave each session with clarity, confidence and actionable next steps for your career journey.

    As your coach, I’m here to support, challenge, and inspire you. Helping you gain career clarity, navigate change with confidence and take purposeful steps towards a fulfilling and sustainable future.

  • Working with a career coach is not just about the hour we spend together — it’s about the clarity, direction and confidence you gain to move forward in your career.

    My sessions are $200 per hour and are personalised to you. Clients often walk away with:

    • Clear career direction and next steps

    • Tools and strategies for CVs, interviews and utilising your networking

    • Confidence to navigate change and take purposeful action

    Your investment today can open the door to opportunities, growth and a more fulfilling future.

“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.”

    Coping with Change

    Workplace change can be challenging, whether it’s a redundancy, a new manager or a shift in your role. I help clients navigate transitions with confidence, develop practical strategies to adapt and maintain focus and resilience, so you can embrace change as an opportunity for growth rather than a source of stress.
