Career Transition Coaching

Professional, evidence-based support for navigating change at work and beyond.

What Career Transition Is

Career transitions are a natural part of working life. They may arise from a shift into a new role or industry, redundancy, or even as a transition to part-time work or retirement. Each transition involves both practical decisions and mindset adjustments.

At Skill and Will, I provide structured, evidence-based support to help people adapt with confidence and clarity. As a registered Coaching Psychologist, I focus on both the mindset and skillset required to move through change in a constructive way.

Redundancy

Redundancy is more than the end of a job—it often brings challenges to identity, confidence, and financial security. The uncertainty can feel overwhelming, but with the right support it also becomes an opportunity for new direction.

Support may include:

• Rebuilding confidence after job loss
• Clarifying career direction and transferable skills
• Strengthening employability and job search skills
• Managing the emotional impact of redundancy

Organisations that provide redundancy support demonstrate care for employees and protect morale among remaining staff.

For many employees, redundancy support is most effective when paired with structured outplacement services, which provide both practical job search tools and psychological support for navigating change.

Outplacement

Career transitions triggered by redundancy can benefit from structured outplacement services. These combine practical career tools with psychological support to help employees move forward with confidence.

Support may include:

• Career assessments
• Job search strategies and identifying aligned industries
• CV and LinkedIn optimisation
• Interview preparation and negotiation support
• Networking approaches and access to the hidden job market
• Executive outplacement with a focus on personal brand, board readiness, and industry visibility

Outplacement services can be delivered one-on-one or in groups. Every program is tailored to the organisation’s needs and budget.

While redundancy and outplacement often focus on immediate re-entry into the workforce, career transitions can also occur later in life as individuals prepare for retirement. This stage brings its own unique challenges and opportunities.

Retirement Transition

Retirement is no longer a single step out of the workforce. For many, it is a transition period that requires rethinking identity, routines, and sources of meaning.

Support may include:

• Reflecting on values and long-term goals
• Exploring phased retirement, consulting, board work or portfolio careers
• Planning new daily structures and social roles
• Supporting wellbeing during adjustment

Retirement coaching helps people approach this stage with clarity and purpose rather than uncertainty. It can be especially valuable for professionals who have strongly defined themselves through their careers.

Why Career Transition Coaching Services Matter

Career change is not just logistical—it touches on identity, wellbeing, and confidence. Professional support helps people:

• Feel empowered during uncertain times
• Recognise and communicate their value
• Navigate setbacks with resilience
• Reconnect with a clear sense of direction

For employers, offering career transition support protects brand reputation, reduces risk, and builds long-term goodwill.
