Not necessarily! Many of our coaches offer sessions via Zoom or Teams, in English, French, or other languages. For in-person sessions, we have coaches based across Geneva city centre, Carouge, Vernier, and throughout the wider Canton of Geneva and Lake Geneva region.
Career coaching is a structured, one-to-one process designed to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and take meaningful action in your professional life. Your coach will work with you to understand where you are now, where you want to be, and what is getting in the way. Sessions typically cover areas such as identifying your strengths and values, clarifying your goals, working on your CV and LinkedIn profile, preparing for interviews, developing your personal brand, or navigating a career transition. Most coaching engagements run over several sessions, with each session building on the last.
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.
Career coaching rates in Switzerland vary depending on experience, specialisation, and session format. Sessions typically range from CHF 200 to CHF 700+ per session, with package rates available for ongoing engagements. Many coaches offer a free initial consultation — our referral service can match you with coaches who fit your budget and goals.

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.
