Not necessarily! Many of our Cork coaches offer sessions via Zoom or Teams. For in-person sessions, we have coaches based across Cork city centre, Douglas, Ballincollig, Carrigaline, and throughout the wider County Cork and Munster area.
We – the coach matching experts here at Career Coach Directory – have helped hundreds of people find a career coach and it’s no surprise we get so many requests when you consider how much time people spend at a job they hate – or even worse, don’t have (i.e. they’re unemployed).
So the job (pun intended) of a career coach is to help you find a job – but not just any job – a job you love. A career coach does this by offering a range of services.
On one end of the spectrum is the personal development side of career coaching that helps you answer the big questions in life such “what are you passionate about?”, “What do you really want to do?” and “What career legacy do you want to leave behind?”.
On the other end of the career coaching spectrum are the technical job searching services such as CV writing, preparing for interviews, and developing job searching skills.
Career coaching is not one-size-fits-all. Depending on your needs, you might benefit from a general career coach, an executive or leadership coach, a redundancy coach, a confidence coach, an interview coach, a career transition coach, or a life coach with a strong career focus. Our directory covers all of these specialisms and our referral service will match you with the type of coach that is most relevant to your specific situation.
Our service is free to use for those searching for a coach. Most coaches will offer a free 15-minute discovery call so you can find the right fit before committing. Full coaching session rates vary by coach and are agreed directly between you and your chosen coach.

This depends on your situation. If you are thinking about a career change in the medium term and want time to explore your options carefully, booking a few months ahead gives you space to work through the process at a comfortable pace. If you are facing a more urgent situation — such as an upcoming redundancy, a job offer you need to evaluate quickly, or an interview process already underway — a coach can often accommodate you at shorter notice. We recommend getting started as early as possible so you have the most time to benefit.
